Just like i stated in my last post, "When it comes to football, a major event which is the biggest UEFA football competition carries more excitement than others.".
So sit back, and enjoy the remaining parts of the post.
Yesterday's Game
Some games yesterday went as expected, while others ended up in shock for some of us. Some teams weren't having that mercy to take it easy on their opposition because they know how competitive the champions league is. Here are the scores for yesterday's game...
Group E
Feyenoord 2 : 0 Celtic
Lazio 1 : 1 Atletico Madrid
Group F
Ac Milan 0 : 0 Newcastle United
Paris Saint-Germain 2 : 0 Borrusia Dortmund
Group G
Young Boys 1 : 3 RB Leipzig
Manchester City 3 : 1 Crvena Zvezda
Group H
Barcelona 5 : 0 Royal Antwerp
Shakhtar Donetsk 1 : 3 FC Porto
Talks Review
I will say that the match between Lazio and Atletico Madrid happens to be the most interesting due to the late minute goal that leveled the game. Surprisingly, the goal came at the +94mins, where lazio's goalkeeper scored with a header, and coincidentally, the goalkeeper wore jersey number 94. What a moment in the history of football.
The match between Milan and Newcastle ended in a draw, with Milan have more clear chances to score, but couldn't. Nick pope was incredible for the english side yesterday.
Psg had little worries, as they defeated Dortmund by 2goals to nothing. Mbappe scored the first goal through a penalty, while Hakimi made it two with a brilliant finish.
It could have been easy for everyone to predict that Manchester city can easily demolish their opponent, but the case wasn't like that. Crvena Zvezda where the first to score when a nice through pass met a player who was ready to finish. City came back from behind to win the game 3-1, with Julian Alvarez scoring a brace.
And lastly, we saw barça demolishing their opponent by 5goals to nothing. Felix was on the score sheet again as he netted a brace in the game.

Talks Review
The most interesting matches to look out for are Bayern/United and Sociedad/Inter.
Bayern Munich has being a tough team when it comes to champions league fixtures. They are greatly known for their habits of making fool of epl teams in the ucl. Sadly Manchester United haven't being in a good form this season, with so many injury worries, things might just end up bad for ten hag's men. We should note that united has lost 3-1 in their last two matches, but let's see how it turns out for them.
Second runners up in the last edition of the ucl will battle against laliga giant real sociedad. This match holds something interesting which awaits ucl lovers.
Arsenal will also be in action later tonight after securing a slot for themselves last season. They have being in top form this season, which so many people hopes that they get a easy win in this game.
Napoli, Real Madrid and Sevilla are also in action later tonight. Tonight edition should be more interesting than yesterday's.
What About Other UEFA Tournaments ?
Well,, it seems another uefa tournament is going down tonight, and that's the UEFA Europa Conference League. It's just a single fixture between..
Group A
