Real Madrid embarrasses himself in Lille: First competitive defeat!

In the Champions League there was a surprise: the defending champion Real Madrid surprisingly defeated the French Club OSC Lille 0-1. This defeat marked the first competitive defeat for the team around German international Antonio Rüdiger since January. One of the decisive elements of the game was a penalty that Canadian striker Jonathan David confidently converted in added time in the first half.

Although Kylian Mbappé was substituted in the second half, the "royal" could no longer ensure that it was compensated. It is particularly remarkable because Real Madrid won the Champions League final last season and is now encountering a setback. On October 22nd, the next big duel is coming up when Borussia Dortmund is a guest.

While Real Madrid failed, Liverpool FC was able to record another victory. The Reds won 2-0 against the Italian club FC Bologna. The goals scored the Argentine world champion Alexis Mac Allister and striker Mohamed Salah. However, Bologna had no chance and had some good opportunities, but could not use it. On October 23, Liverpool meets RB Leipzig, which promises an exciting game.

The events of the Champions League took place not only in Lille and Liverpool. In the duel between Benfica Lisbon and Atletico Madrid, the Portuguese came to a clear 4-0 victory, whereby the Joker Jan-Niklas showed the best as particularly effective. His team remains unbeaten in the new season of the Champions League.

Another highlight of the match day was the appearance of Ademola Lookman. The former RB Leipzig player led Atalanta Bergamo to an impressive 3-0 victory against Schachtar Donetsk. Lookman, who also scored all goals in last year's European League final, prepared the first goal and contributed the second himself. According to his template, Berat Djimsiti scored 1-0 in the 27th minute before Lookman scored shortly before the break. Raoul Bellanova then increased to 3: 0.

The AS Monaco was not able to build on the success after the spectacular opening win against FC Barcelona (2: 1) and only played 2-2 at Dinamo Zagreb, while FC Brügge introduced an away victory against Sturm Graz with a goal of the former Düsseldorf Christos Tzolis. These results illustrate the intensity and unpredictability of the Champions League, where each point can be decisive.
