Salzubrg - Bayern, what a game it was. High intensity, attacking football without midfield. Difficult Bayern win, maybe final result don't reflect it - on last 10 minutes it was obvious that Salzburg players were exhausted.
Atalanta 0:5 Liverpool. What a performance by Liverpool. And another big loss for Atalanta this season.
Very important win for Real and situation in this group looks very interesting. Inter in the bottom, but just 3pts from 1st place.
Shakhtar 0:6 Borussia M. Maybe it's not surprising that Borussia won game, but 6 goals, wow! What a shitty performance by Shakhtar.
And I can't call city draw as big surprise.
And last thing, thanks City for late goal which won me over 2.5 goals bet .

[notblox1]

Crazy results and bunch of goals scored, that is 35 goals in eight matches with great average
I surely didn't expect Atalanta to lose with five goals in the net without scoring a single one, but Liverpool with Jota and  Salah was very motivated.
I think I will have more time tomorrow to prepare for next day matches and pricks.

It's Başakşehir, not İstanbul Büyükşehir as there is no relation between İstanbul municipality and Başakşehir football club anymore.
I guess editor of Skysports got confused there, because it's Başakşehir Football Club since 2014. They were the only team that have no fan base in Turkey.
You can also see my take at Başakşehir in European matches here in this thread.

Now THIS is a Champions League matchday i can get behind, not just because my Real Madrid finally won (finally!!), but because all the main favorites, except for Atletico, won their match, and some of them even crushed their opponents (love me some ez wins from the top teams)

Nice win for some of us who backed Liverpool earlier today be it and single ticket or acca 

Tough game for us tonight away against Atalanta

heh! this comment didn't age well, eh? =P that was arguably Liverpool's easiest game of the season so far, . Great performance from Diogo, seems to me like he earned a spot in the starting XI against City next weekend...sorry not sorry Firmino

on last 10 minutes it was obvious that Salzburg players were exhausted.

i watched the match on my 2nd stream. Salzburg can play some great football alright,but you honestly can't go all-out attack and put 7 players in Bayern Munich side of the pitch and not expect it to backfire at some point...seriously, the absolute disrespect from Salzburg lol they need to know when to turn the intensity down a bit and simply defend

@tomahawk

Haha, dude I thought it’d be much tougher. Jota is starting to look the real deal. Firmino isn’t going to get in tgis team atm. Very impressed with the team tonight, we go into the game with City full of confidence/

You’re a Real fan aren’t you? Big 3 points for your boys tonight.

[Smartvirus]

Lots of goals as anticipated. Bayern Munich never disappoints as it comes to the Uefa Champions League. What is spectacular about this Tuesday games is that, not only did the big teams won but all games played over 2.5 and again, bundlesliga teams scored at least 6 goals, wow! This is very unlikely to happen in their league this days, it's as if they saved it for the Uefa Champions League. It's surely a good day for gamblers that pick their bets based on odds and the bettors that focus on goals. There is got to be lots of wins and cash out today. Though, I'll be careful of tomorrow's games not to expect this type of outcome on the games.

[arallmuus]

Jota is starting to look the real deal. Firmino isn’t going to get in tgis team atm.

Jota , Salah and Mane . Liverpool totally got themselves all the beast and I totally hate to admit this but Liverpool really has the best attacking trio in Premier League right now. Atalanta was doing okay in Serie A and I wasnt expecting them to get smashed with 5 goals. I was expecting Liverpool to win but probably with slight differences of probably 1:2 or 1:3

Lots of goals as anticipated. Bayern Munich never disappoints as it comes to the Uefa Champions League.

As expected from Bayern Munich as well but totally lame to see Salzburg score 2 goals . Also the goal scoring machine from last season, Lewandowski finally starting to get back on track with 2 goals today

[yeamin.rsl]

Real madrid future is in safe hands, Vinicius Jr. to Rodrygo .
But From last season they have not improved the way they are playing these champions games.
Congrats Sergio Ramos for scoring  his 100 goals for RM. And some striker never score 100goals in decade.Truly he's a defender for many years to come.

yes i am,, madridista 4ever (: We also got a big boost in confidence before our league match on Sunday thx to this massive win

that's what happens when you don't adapt to your opponents play style. If your gameplan against Liverpool is to go on the offence knowing that you have a really weak defence, chances are that after the final whistle you're going to regret following that plan 

Congrats Sergio Ramos for scoring  his 100 goals for RM.

Legendary! 👑

I'm actually a little disappointed with Madrid's winning result, because my prediction will be a draw. It turned out that Rodrygo's goal
made Madrid win the match. And I agree that the future of Madrid is in the hands of Vinicius Jr and Rodrygo, If you see the performance of
these two players, they are very good, when they managed to bring Madrid to beat Inter in the Champions League. Of course this is
an extraordinary achievement for Sergio Ramos to score his 100 goals for Real Madrid, because for the defender position, he scored
100 goals in his career, which not everyone can achieve.

Kudos to Madrid for signing these Brazillian youngsters  Vinicius Jr and Rodrygo including Reinnier they are talented players andthis is  part of rebuilding process embarked by Madrid, gradually Zidane had been infusing them with established and experienced players which includes Sergio, Modric e.t.c
Sergio Ramos has also established himself as one the best defender in the world while achieving a landmark of 100 goals very unusual for a defender to achieve, he is waxing stronger despite his age.

Liverpool is now up 5-0. What a match! All of Liverpool's front 3 are on fire, Diego Jota especially. He has been nothing but spectacular today. He has now gotten his first Hat trick in a Liverpool shirt. Considering I have Liverpool a 1-goal handicap and they are firing Atalanta on all cylinders is hilarious. Lol.

Yeah, Jota is really on fire lately with a lot of very important goals, both in the league and now today also in the Champions League.

But I must say I am also a bit disappointed by Atalanta today. Was expecting more of them. Liverpool's defence is not as strong as it used to be so I still hoping they score at least once in the second half.

E: Okay 3-0 and 4-0 for Liverpool right after the start of the second half. That should be game over for Atalanta. But BTTS is still possible  

Talking about Jota, He has quickly become Liverpool's star signing. Always rising up to the occasion whether as a starter or a sub. As for Atalanta, I don't know what's wrong with them today. They've nothing to offer going forward and their backline is porous.

Real Madrid beat Inter in the heavyweight game of the night, while there were hat-trick scorers as Liverpool. What a match! Yes, Jota is so far a great signing for quickly becoming Liverpool's star signing.

Yeah good 3 points for real Madrid after slow start on group stage. Quite a fight back from Inter Milan but Rodrygo's goal sealed in 3 points for Madrid.

Atalanta was doing okay in Serie A and I wasnt expecting them to get smashed with 5 goals.

that's what happens when you don't adapt to your opponents play style. If your gameplan against Liverpool is to go on the offence knowing that you have a really weak defence, chances are that after the final whistle you're going to regret following that plan 

Atalanta always had weak defense side. They haven't properly signed or have improved players in defensive area. Same was last year..  BTW after the performance Jota gave yesterday ...do you guys think Jota will get regular chances and will make Firmino slowly out of regular picture?

[Soonandwaite]

I just started to write that I wonder if RB Salzburg will have enough stamina for whole match and few second later Bayern scored. Before this goal Salzburg looked surprisingly good and I expected they will be closer to win at least until 70th minutes.

a football match always lasts 90 minutes. and in the end bayern munich always wins .gary lineker once said something similar about the german national team 
i think bayern will score 2-3 goals in the second half . and liverpool is now already leading 4:0. 2-3 goals could still be scored 

But for know Salzburg scored! Okugawa and 2-2 Very interesting ending is coming! Lewandowski doesn't play well today - and he is player who plays good either the whole game or not at all.

and in the end the munich players always win .and 2 goals from levandowski is ok too. all favourites won and there was no big surprise
bavaria munich will now win group a without problems and liverpool will win group d

[Chrystora123]

happy to see Madrid win over Inter and Man City win over Olympiakos..

snip..

and in the end the munich players always win .and 2 goals from levandowski is ok too. all favourites won and there was no big surprise
bavaria munich will now win group a without problems and liverpool will win group d

Munchen is the real bull (not Salzburg) they have successfully set new records..

Bayern Munich's massive 6-2 victory at RB Salzburg saw the defending Champions League champions set an impressive record in terms of scoring goals in this elite European club competition.

Jota's hattricks, as well as goals by Salah and Mane also made the Reds achieve new history for their club..

Liverpool broke the record previously set by another Premier League club, Arsenal, in the Champions League. Previously, Arsenal had won 5-1 over Inter Milan (Italian club) at home to opponents, to be precise on the fifth matchday of Group B of the 2003-2004 Champions League.

This year champions league seems kinda weird with teams conceding a lot of goals regardless of being home or away, yesterday games was a goal galore, lots of over 3.5 goals, the most astonishing game was Atlanta vs Liverpool couldn't believe it that Atlanta cannot score just a goal despite playing at home ground, Shakhtar also conceded six goals at home without scoring as goal, it really absurd to me imo

It might that "give up" mentality...
I mean the spirits must be crushed when you and your team mates are down 3 goals... You probably shift down gears and just wait for the whistle to blow to end the game..
Well thats how I see it, that must be why Im not playing professional soccer

[dre1982]

Don't know what happend with Ajax. First they have a great start and score the 0-2 within 12 minutes and after that it looks like they stopped playing.

Gladly they won the game in the end so they still have a chance to become second in the poule.

[Bttzed03]

Welp, looks like everyone's happy with their bets last night (including me )

Anyone here fancy betting on Istanbul Basaksehir FK against Manchester United?

• ML - 7.48
• DNB - 5.55

+1 handicap is also good at 2.31 but I have this feeling that it will end up 0-0. (odds)

Thoughts on Leipzig vs. PSG?
