FC Bayern and BVB remain unbeaten in the Champions League even after matchday 3, while Eintracht Frankfurt and Bayer Leverkusen received heavy blows. In the Youth League, a completely different picture emerged: Munich’s U19s suffered a serious defeat.
The FC Bayern professionals didn’t miss a beat in their 4-0 win against Club Brugge. The U19s of the German record champions were completely different, as they completely ruined the Youth League game against the Belgians on Wednesday. Peter Gaydarov’s team lost out with 0:3 (0:2).
Laurens Goemaere (27th), Yanis Musuayi (38th, penalty) and Wout Verlinden (85th) scored the goals for the guests, who are in fourth place after three games with a maximum of nine points and have the best prospects of qualifying for the knockout phase.
“We knew Brugge’s strengths and knew how we could hurt them with the ball – we were able to do that well at times. However, we lacked the necessary penetration in the final third and the goals we conceded were due to individual mistakes. Physically, mentally and in terms of experience, Brugge were a bit ahead of us today,” explained Bayern coach Peter Gaydarov afterwards.
The Munich team is already relegated to 23rd place in the rankings with just one win. Bitter: In the upcoming duel against top team PSG, FC Bayern will have to do without Cassiano Kiala, who was sent off with a red card against Bruges in the final phase (87th).
Eintracht Frankfurt loses nine-goal spectacle – BVB gets second win
There was also a defeat, albeit a spectacular one, for the talents of Eintracht Frankfurt on Wednesday. The young Eagles lost their home game against Liverpool FC 4:5, the score was already 3:3 at half time. The SGE also remains at three points and is currently in 21st place.
Things went a little better for Borussia Dortmund’s U19s on Tuesday, who celebrated their second win in their third game. The Danish representative FC Copenhagen scored 2-0 (0-0).
The goals for BVB were scored by Pharell Kegni (47th) and Tom Faust (90th + 5) in the second half. Goalkeeper Aaron Held had the opportunity to excel, especially in the early stages, when he parried a shot from Copenhagen’s Gunnar Orri Olsen.
The Black and Yellows were able to rehabilitate themselves after the bitter 4-0 defeat against Athletic Bilbao on the second matchday. At the start of the Youth League season, coach Felix Hirschnagl’s team celebrated a narrow 3-2 win at Juventus.
Bayer fights for a draw against PSG, Newcastle goes under
Bayer Leverkusen’s U19s have one point more to their name, after two wins at the start they now scored 2-2 (1-0) against Paris Saint-Germain. Burak Kir (37th) scored first against the favorites from France to give the Rhinelanders the lead.
After the break, PSG stepped up their game and scored goals through Abo El Nay (52nd) and Mathis Jangeal (55th, penalty). Julien Kurowski (65th) was able to head the equalizer for Leverkusen.
Newcastle United’s youth team, who also lost their third game, are still without a point. After a 2:3 against FC Barcelona and a 0:2 against Union Saint-Gilloise, the young English team got badly beaten at home against SL Benfica from Lisbon (1:5) on matchday 3.
The outstanding man on the Portuguese side was Eduardo Fernandes. The striker scored a hat-trick.
