The Dutchman of color, Barcelona in particular, will be disappointed with the course of the first match. And on Tuesday evening, Villarreal, who may play in the Champions League due to winning the European League last season, drew 2-2 against Italy’s Atalanta Bergamo. I did this on my own Madrigal. Villarreal fell back after 6 minutes, but managed to turn the game into a 2-1 lead in the 73rd minute, thanks in part to a goal scored by Dutchman Arnot Groenefeld. However, Atalanta, where Teun Koopmeiners was brought in instead of Marten de Roon in the 70th minute, tied the score in the 83rd minute. The score remained 2-2 on the scoreboard after 90 minutes. A neutral spectator was the evening’s biggest winner.
Villarreal will play the next Champions League match on September 29 in England against Cristiano Ronaldo, Manchester United. The other contender in the group is Young Boys of Switzerland, who surprisingly beat Manchester United in their first group match.
F.C.B
Barcelona football coach Ronald Koeman underperformed on Tuesday in the second leg against German champions Bayern Munich. On SportyTrader’s Champions League betting tips page, where football matches are predicted based on various factors affecting the Champions League match, Barcelona was already expected to struggle against the more experienced Bayern Munich, better quality and physical strength.
This became a reality at the Camp Nou and Barcelona never entered the game: 0-3. Attacking duo Luc de Jong, who recently came from Seville and Memphis Depay, couldn’t create a single chance to score and Frenkie de Jong also couldn’t convince. And German Thomas Muller made the score 0-1 in the 34th minute, after which the Polish striker Robert Lewandowski caused Barcelona an additional injury with his two goals in the 56th and 85th minutes.
Barcelona will feel compelled to pick up a lot of points against the other two teams in the group, Benfica and Dynamo Kiev, as Bayern Munich is clearly too big at the moment. The Portuguese and the Ukrainians shared the points on Tuesday evening in Kiev (0-0). On Wednesday, September 29, Barcelona travel to Lisbon to face Benfica.
Seville
He also played Sevilla, the No. 4 in the previous football season, on Tuesday evening. The team led by Julen Lopetegui only advanced with a 1-1 draw at home to Austrian Salzburg. The two goals were scored in the first half from a penalty kick (Seville’s goal by Ivan Rakitic). It is noteworthy that the referee missed 4 penalty kicks in the first half, two of them wasted. But Seville will not be dissatisfied with the draw, playing more than 40 minutes with ten men after a red card from Youssef Al-Nusairi. Dutch Karim Rijk did not enter the ranks of Seville. The other two teams that Sevilla will compete in the Champions League are Wolfsburg coach Mark van Bommel and Lille.
Atletico Madrid
On Wednesday evening, the Spanish champions of the 2020/2021 season, Atletico Madrid, played against FC Porto at the Wanda Metropolitano. Both teams failed to score in this match: 0-0. At Atletico Madrid, Antoine Griezmann came after 60 minutes, receiving a concert by Atletico supporters.
The Frenchman recently returned to the club from Madrid after moving to Barcelona in 2019 for around €120 million. Atletico coach Diego Simeone is waiting for the tough group stage in the championship ball. In addition to Atletico Madrid and FC Porto, Milan and Liverpool are also ranked in Group B. On Tuesday, September 28, Atlético will play the second group match in Milan against AC Milan, who narrowly lost to Liverpool (3-2 on Wednesday evening).
real Madrid
Real Madrid finally won, on Wednesday, at the Giuseppe Meazza stadium in the last minute against Italian champion Inter Milan. In the first half, the Italians were the better team and it was Inter who had better chances. In the second half, Real Madrid led by Carlo Ancelotti drew with the host team. In the last stage, de Koninklicki became more dangerous and it was Brazilian Rodrigo who scored the winning goal in the 89th minute against Dutch clubs Denzel Dumfries and Stefan de Vrij.
Real Madrid made a great start to the Champions League season. The Madridista club will have great confidence in its chances after the first victory over Inter, as it is divided into a group with less strong opponents on paper. On Tuesday, September 28, Real Madrid will play FC Sheriff of Moldova. Shakhtar Donetsk of Ukraine is also ranked in Group D. Sheriff is a surprise 2-0 win over Shakhtar yesterday.
