The European champions did not go beyond a 0-0 draw against Athletic. First victory for Ajax. Dortmund and Leverkusen draw
It is increasingly a single team in command. Arsenal also took a walk on Bruges, with the magic of Madueke (a brace) and Martinelli. The Gunners, therefore, are the only team with full points in the Champions League group after the first six matchdays. Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City is still indigestible to Real Madrid, without Mbappé because he is not at his best. Everything happens in the first half: Rodrygo puts the Spaniards ahead with a precise diagonal, O’Riley develops an inactive ball and Haaland gets and converts the penalty for the decisive 1-2, for a clear hold by Rüdiger in the area.

Yet the real news of the evening is the lackluster 0-0 draw between Athletic and Paris Saint-Germain in Bilbao. As expected, it was the French who took control of the match, but the Parisians’ attack was reduced to the crossbar hit by Barcola in the second half in an emotionless match. Something that cannot be said for the other races of the evening. Bayer Leverkusen overtakes Newcastle late on thanks to Grimaldo’s goal which sets the score at 2-2. Same outcome also in Dortmund, where Borussia is blocked by a valiant Bodo/Glimt, who grabs the equalizer thanks to the former Milan Hauge, making Brandt’s brace in vain. Previously, a goal celebration in the two matches, with away victories for Ajax (2-4 at Qarabag) and Copenhagen (2-3 at Villarreal).
