Champions League 2019/20- Open Thread

The biggest competition in Europen football kicked off its group stage and there were some unpredictable results in the first fixture. Titleholders, Liverpool opened their campaign with a loss to the Serie A side Napoli with a 2-0 scoreline. A great match that saw attacks and only attacks from both side from the first minute.

Barcelona vs Dortmund- Messi returned to the field for his first game in the 2019 campaign but Dortmund dominated the match. It was just because of Ter Stegen that the scoreline remained 0-0 as he stopped Marco Reus’s penalty and few more dangerous shots.

Chelsea vs Valencia- Ross Barkley missed a penalty and that cost them a chance to draw the match as Valencia win 1-0 at Stamford Bridge.

Some great matches lined up today as well, as Real Madrid take on PSG and Atletico Madrid face Juventus. Will it be a Deja Vu from the last season or can we expect something big happening this Champions League?
