Three minutes in, and Raphinha’s already showing off 🔥

Barcelona’s talisman opened the scoring in their 5-1 Champions League rout of Feyenoord tonight, cutting inside and dropping the shoulder to send two defenders sliding the wrong way on the wet Camp Nou turf before slotting home.

He added a second before the hour mark, taking his season tally to 8 goals in just 5 games and making him Europe’s top scorer right now. Barcelona are perfect through 5 matches across all competitions.

PSG made an emphatic statement tonight 🔴🔵

Ousmane Dembélé struck twice inside the first 23 minutes to set the tone, before Ferran Torres stole the show — scoring a hat-trick on his Champions League debut for the club to make it 5-0 before Slovan Bratislava grabbed a late consolation through Suleiman Camara.

It’s the perfect start for the reigning back-to-back champions, who are chasing a place in the history books as only the fourth club to ever win three straight European Cup/Champions League titles.

Messi’s football empire keeps growing 🇪🇸📈

Lionel Messi has reached a preliminary agreement to buy 100% of CD Eldense, a La Liga 2 club based in Elda, near Alicante. It’s his second Spanish club investment this year, following his earlier purchase of Catalan side UE Cornellà.

The deal still needs to clear legal procedures and approval from Spain’s National Sports Council before it’s official, but if completed, it would make Messi the sole owner of a professional club in Europe’s second tier — adding to a portfolio that already includes clubs in Argentina and Uruguay, plus his future ownership stake in Inter Miami.

979 down, 21 to go 👀🟡

Al-Nassr bounced back from their first league defeat of the season with a 2-1 win over Abha today, and Cristiano Ronaldo led the way with a powerful header in the 22nd minute — his 979th career goal.

Abdullah Al-Hamdan doubled the lead before Nabil Fekir pulled one back late on, but Al-Nassr held firm. Ronaldo is now just 21 goals away from the unthinkable 1,000 mark, at 41 years old.

A landmark night for Yaya Touré 🇨🇮🌍

Tonight, the Manchester City and Barcelona legend became the first African-born manager to take charge of a team in a Champions League match, leading Slovan Bratislava against two-time defending champions PSG in Paris.

Touré joined the Slovak champions in July, in his first senior managerial role, and guided them through three qualifying rounds to reach the league phase. On the eve of the game, he called it the start of “a new era” for African coaches in the game.

Fitting that a Champions League winner as a player is now breaking new ground as a coach.

A night to remember for Lamine Yamal 🥹🎗️

Barcelona demolished Feyenoord 5-1 in their Champions League opener, making it FIVE goals in 4 of their first 5 matches this season — an absurd level of attacking output. Raphinha, Yamal and Adeyemi were all on the scoresheet, with Gabriel Jesus capping it off late on.

But the real story was off the ball. Raphinha handed the captain’s armband to Yamal for the first time in his career, and when Yamal scored soon after, he ran straight over to Raphinha to celebrate. These two.

59 goals. 59 games. No big deal 🤖

Erling Haaland scored either side of half-time (47’, 90+1’) as Manchester City opened their Champions League campaign with a comfortable 2-0 win away at Porto yesterday.

It takes his tally to 59 goals in exactly 59 Champions League appearances — a scoring rate that’s genuinely hard to comprehend. Routine night for City, ridiculous numbers for Haaland.

You don’t need the ball to win the game 🐺

Real Madrid had just 36% of possession against Inter in yesterday’s Champions League opener, getting outshot 21 to 16. Didn’t matter. Kylian Mbappé opened the scoring in the 14th minute, Fede Valverde doubled the lead nine minutes later, and Madrid held on for a 2-1 win despite Inter dominating the ball for most of the night.

Mbappé walked away with Player of the Match. Efficiency over everything.

Only Guirassy could do this 😅

Yesterday’s Champions League opener between Dortmund and Villarreal had everything. Renato Veiga’s own goal put Dortmund ahead, Villarreal levelled through Santiago Mouriño, and then Serhou Guirassy took over — scoring twice in five second-half minutes to put Dortmund 3-1 up on the night of his 100th Dortmund appearance.

Then, with the game seemingly won, Guirassy somehow turned a deflected free-kick into his own net to make it 3-2 and give Villarreal a nervy finish. Dortmund held on, and Guirassy’s brace made him the club’s second all-time top scorer in Champions League history behind only Marco Reus.

From goalless to unstoppable ⚡

Aston Villa hadn’t scored in three straight Premier League games going into yesterday’s Champions League opener. Then they went to Belgium and put on a show, beating Club Brugge 3-2 with John McGinn and Emi Buendía striking in the first half before Nicolas Jackson capped it off with his first goal for the club, right on the stroke of half-time.

Club Brugge pulled one back from the penalty spot, but Villa held their nerve for a perfect start to their European campaign.
