The UEFA Champions league kicked off last week on Tuesday,much to the amusement of many soccer fans...and as usual there were major upsets....The first one being Manchester United who were beaten 2-0 by a makeshift Paris Saint Germain(PSG) who were without the services of their major soccer stars...notable....Neymar...Cavani.....Munieur and Rabiot.
Most people expected Man Utd to defeat PSG since they were playing at their usual hunting ground at Old Trafford....and also because of their fantastic form over the past few months since Ole Gunnar Solskjaer took over as manager...not to mention PSG were not at full strength.....But alas...the Red Devils succumbed to 2-0 humiliating defeat in front of their home fans.
We can forgive Ole since it was his first time managing a very big club in the Champions league...i'm prertty sure he will come with a surprise result in the return leg in Paris...though it's a bit unlikely.
On Wednesday there was yet another upset at Wembly as Tottenham outplayed their German counterparts Borussia Dortmund....condemning them to a gruesome 3-0 defeat.
BVB were also missinng some of their key players notably....Marco Reus...Paco Alcacer..Piszczec and Weigl....
Spurs were also were missing the services of the lethal Captain and striker....Harry Kane... but nevertheless managed to put 3 past Dortmund...who are sitting at the top of the Germany Bundesliga.
Sneaky Real Madrid managed to snatch win in the dying minutes of the game as usual... beating Ajax 2-1 away in Netherlands.
Lastly Roma beat Fc Porto 2-1 in Italy
Today we can only wait desperately for the games to begin...waiting for other major upsets in the tournament.....the highlight being the match between Liverpool and Bayern Munich.....will Klopp seek revenge from the team that gave him a very hard time.....or will history repeat itself...
What do you think will transpire in today's UEFA Champions league matches?
