The Wednesday of the third matchday of the Champions League group stage brought goals, entertainment, and a few surprises, but no smiles for the Italian teams. Juventus came away defeated from the Santiago Bernabéu, where Real Madrid prevailed 1-0 thanks to a goal from Bellingham, in a match that left a bitter taste for the Bianconeri due to the many wasted chances. The same bitter fate, albeit in a different tone, befell Juric’s Atalanta, who in Bergamo failed to go beyond a 0-0 draw against Slavia Prague, squandering an important opportunity to climb the group standings.
In Europe, meanwhile, the evening was all about goal fests. Bayern Munich literally overwhelmed Club Brugge with a clear 4-0, with goals from Karl, Kane, Diaz, and Jackson, while Chelsea ran riot in London against Ajax with a resounding 5-1, dominating in both intensity and quality. Klopp’s Liverpool finally rediscovered their sparkle and effectiveness, putting five past Eintracht Frankfurt (5-1) after a series of negative results.
Heavy defeat, on the other hand, for Roberto De Zerbi’s Marseille, beaten 2-1 by Sporting Lisbon in a match marked by Emerson’s sending off in the first half, an episode that complicated the French side’s plans. No goals, finally, in the draw between Monaco and Tottenham, a balanced match but lacking in excitement. In the standings, Napoli—coming off a heavy defeat against PSV—sit in twenty-third place, in the playoff zone but with increasingly slim margins. The next matchday will already be a decisive crossroads for the Italian teams, who are called upon to turn things around and defend their position in the European rankings.
RESULTS OF THE EVENING Atalanta-Slavia Prague 0-0 Bayern-Brugge 4-0 Chelsea-Ajax 5-1 Eintracht-Liverpool 1-5 Monaco-Tottenham 0-0 Real Madrid-Juventus 1-0 Sporting-Marseille 2-1
