In the opening matches of the Champions League, some teams shone brightly, while others faced challenges.

FC Barcelona, with Marcus Rashford scoring a brace, defeated Newcastle United 2:1. Anthony Gordon managed to score a late consolation goal for Newcastle, but it wasn't enough to secure a point for the English side. The person who led Newcastle United as coach on the first matchday of the Champions League and had relatively little influence was Eddie Howe.

Manchester City also secured a 2:0 victory against SSC Napoli. Erling Haaland and Jeremy Doku scored one goal each for Manchester City, while Napoli captain Giovanni Di Lorenzo received an early red card, which made their task even more difficult.

In a thrilling encounter, Sporting Lisbon faced Kairat Almaty. Francisco Trincão scored two goals for Sporting Lisbon, but they were unable to hold onto their lead. Alisson Santos and Geovany Quenda scored for Kairat Almaty, and Edmilson scored a late consolation goal for them.

These results have set the stage for an exciting season in the Champions League. The next round of matches promises to be as thrilling as the first.
