The first evening of the third round of the Champions League went down in history for the record number of goals scored, but there were many other interesting and entertaining situations that deserve more attention.
Let's take a look at the 5 missed episodes from Tuesday night.
The match between Barcelona and Olympiacos took a turn in favor of the Blaugrana club in the 57th minute when the referee sent off Santiago Hezze. The red card infuriated the Argentine midfielder and the Greek coach Jose Luis Mendilibar, who had requested the intervention of VAR.
Indeed, the replay of the action shows Marc Casado holding Hezze with both arms around his body and falling dramatically despite the opponent barely touching him with his hand.
The recent days for Evangelos Marinakis, the de facto owner of Nottingham Forest and Olympiacos, have been terrible. First came the 3-0 home defeat against Chelsea, which led to the dismissal of Ange Postecoglou from the Nottingham bench.
Last night, Marinakis also suffered a 6-1 defeat of Olympiacos at the hands of Barcelona. His reaction, captured by the cameras, speaks for itself.
Erling Haaland was, as usual, unstoppable. With the goal scored against Villarreal, he reached 30 goals in the Champions League with Manchester City. This means that, at the moment, he is only six goals away from Sergio Aguero, a club legend and City's top scorer in the Champions League.
The substantial difference lies in the number of matches the two needed to reach these figures: Aguero required 61 games to score 36 times, while Haaland needed only 32 to score 30.
Bayer Leverkusen suffered an epic defeat against Paris Saint-Germain. The 7-2 final score at home is one of the worst defeats in the history of the German club, so much so that the social media manager hoped the first half would end as soon as possible.
This is the tweet published after the fourth goal scored by the Parisians: "Can this first half just end please?"
Also catching attention were Ousmane Dembele's shoes. In his first appearance with PSG after winning the Ballon d'Or, the Frenchman wore the Special F50 Ballon d'Or to celebrate the award.
In the post-match of Barcelona-Olympiacos, something quite curious happened. Lamine Yamal's girlfriend came onto the field and spent some time sitting on the bench with the Blaugrana gem.
This was also the occasion for Yamal to introduce Nicki Nicole to his coach Hansi Flick, who appeared very happy, as if he were the boy's father.
It's 2025, but the Champions League has found a protagonist who has been missing since the 2017/2018 season.
David Luiz, at the venerable age of 38, signed for the Cypriot team Pafos and last night made his debut in the championship phase against Kairat Almaty.
