DFB striker Nick Woltemade sits on the bench for an hour at the royal class start. He cannot prevent the bankruptcy against the Flick-Elf. City star Haaland meanwhile cracks a record.
Hansi Flick and FC Barcelona spoiled Nick Woltemade the Champions League debut with Newcastle United. The Catalans prevailed 2-1 (0: 0) with the English at the end of the 1st match day.
Barcelona did not burn anything without his injured young star Lamine Yamal, offensively struck Flick’s team ice cold. Match winner for the Catalans was Marcus Rashford. Manchester United’s loan scored both goals (58th minute/67.) For Flick’s team that deservedly won.
Anthony Gordon (90th) was late for the hosts. Newcastle newcomer Woltemade came into play in the 63rd minute, but the ex-Stuttgart team was hardly able to stage himself in the league after his dream debut at the weekend.
Meanwhile, Starstürmer Erling Haaland expanded his impressive goal balance. In the 2-0 (0-0) by Manchester City against the Italian champion SSC Naples, the ex-dortmund met the lead (56th). It was his 50th hit in the 49th royal class game-no other player reached this brand faster. The fastest was the Dutchman Ruud van Nistelrooy (62 games) so far.
Jeremy Doku (65.) decided the game in favor of the title holder of 2023, after Naples Giovanni di Lorenzo (21st) had flown from the square early due to an emergency brake against Haaland.
Kevin de Bruyne experienced a bitter return to Manchester. In summer, the Belgian City had left after ten successful years and joined the Italians. For tactical reasons, he was replaced after 26 minutes due to the outnumber.
