8 teams won the first victory! Liverpool completed a closed loop, Chelsea strives to go straight, and it is not difficult for Newcastle to qualify

The second round of the Champions League phase was all over, and eight teams won the first game. Liverpool, which had won seven consecutive victories last season, lost to Galatasaray away, becoming the biggest upset in this round. The Premier League top six attacked, Arsenal won two consecutive victories, Chelsea and Newcastle, who lost in the first round, both scored three points, while Liverpool completed a small closed loop.

Atlanta and Naples in Serie A, Dortmund in Bundesliga, Chelsea and Newcastle in the Premier League, Atletico Madrid in La Liga, Marseille in Ligue 1, and Galatasaray in Turkish Super League all successfully won this round, and eight teams won the first victory since the start of the Champions League. Among them, Sabize, Ellanga and Hoylen, three Manchester United abandoned players, won the best in the game.

For the top six of the Premier League, after two rounds, Arsenal won two consecutive victories and scored 6 points, Manchester City and Tottenham both had 1 win and 1 draw and 4 points, and the other three teams had 3 points. Although they were not as strong as last season, the result was still acceptable. Manchester City was tied by Monaco in the last tier, and losing De Bruyne's midfield control decline was an issue that could not be avoided. The next four opponents, including Villarreal and Real Madrid in La Liga, and Dortmund and Leverkusen in Bundesliga, Manchester City face great challenges and cannot leave their hopes in the last two games.

Tottenham, who returned to the Champions League, went to challenge Bodesh again away after less than five months. It was a passing result. Newcastle, who also returned to the Champions League, beat San Giros away, not only took away 3 points, but also had 4 goals. Unlike Manchester City, among the remaining opponents of Tottenham and Newcastle, including several teams that are not giants, they should be able to qualify if they win three more games.

Lose to Bayern Munich in the first round, and returned to the home court to face the familiar Mourinho. Just like the result of the Club World Cup, Chelsea also defeated Benfica. The difference is that this time it won in regular time. During the game, Chelsea showed the champion's giant canvas in the stands, and Mourinho's return was full of memories, which brought extra highlights to the game. As the world champion, Chelsea strives to enter the top eight, and the chance of going directly to the top 16 is still quite good. However, he has red cards for three consecutive games. Maresca really wants to give up his players, and the lineup is huge and cannot be squandered at will.

A few days ago, Liverpool lost to Crystal Palace and won their first league defeat. Unexpectedly, they came to the recognized difficult away game, but they still lost to Galatasaray. It is no longer possible to repeat the glory of the seven consecutive victories last season. Wilz's problem began to emerge gradually, with no assists or goals, as if it was out of the system. Suo's blog is a full-back, and the defender's reserves are insufficient, and it is believed that it will have an impact. Top-heavyness is the main theme of Liverpool this season.

Interestingly, Liverpool, Galatasaray, Frankfurt and Atletico Madrid formed a small cycle. In the eight rounds, four teams have to fight one by one, four of which were concentrated in the first two rounds, one in the third round, and one remaining in the seventh round. It seems that the group stage is back.

Therefore, these teams quickly completed a closed loop of the food chain. In the first two rounds of the Champions League, Liverpool defeated Atletico Madrid 3-2, Atletico Madrid defeated Frankfurt 5-1, Frankfurt beat Galatasaray 5-1, and Galatasaray defeated Liverpool 1-0 in the end, and no one could have an absolute advantage. I don’t know who can win in the “group match” in the subsequent encounter between Liverpool and Frankfurt, as well as Atletico Madrid and Galatasaray? The showdown between Paris Saint-Germain and Barcelona is obviously the focus of this round. Despite the lack of many midfielders, Paris is still not inferior. With the final decision of Gonzalo Ramos in the last moment, he took away three-pointers away and showed the style of the championship. At the same time, Barcelona also achieved its first defeat in various competitions since the new season. Paris, which won two consecutive victories, followed by six opponents including the Premier League and Bundesliga, as well as the Portuguese Super League, the schedule is still quite difficult and cannot be taken lightly.
