Resumo da segunda jornada da Liga dos Campeões

Last Updated on Outubro 3, 2025 10:23 am by Erwin Noguera

The Champions League group stage continues to raise the tension and spectacle. After Wednesday’s matches on October 1, the standings are beginning to take shape, with Bayern Munich maintaining its lead and reaffirming its status as one of the favorites. However, the margin for error is minimal: every point is worth its weight in gold, and the chances of failure are reduced to a minimum for those aspiring to advance in the competition.

This year’s format adds even more drama. Only the top eight teams will earn a direct ticket to the round of 16, while teams ranked ninth to 18th will have to go through a two-leg playoff. For their part, the teams at the bottom of the table will not only be eliminated, but those ranked 19th to 24th will be forced to redirect their season to the Europa League.

Statistically, Bayern is consolidating its position as the most offensive team in the competition, backed by a scoring arsenal. In contrast, Kairat Almaty is so far the most fragile in defense, conceding the most goals. On the other hand, Inter Milan boasts the most solid defense, having conceded the fewest goals so far. With these ingredients, the Champions League once again confirms itself as an unpredictable and exciting tournament.

UEFA Champions League Matchday 2 Roundup: Kairat vs. Real Madrid

Real Madrid traveled to Kazakhstan amid doubts and with open wounds after their defeat in the derby against Atlético, but found some respite in their visit to Kairat.

Although the final score was a comfortable 0-5, Xabi Alonso’s side once again left mixed feelings: the team did not shine collectively, but found in Kylian Mbappé the abysmal difference that keeps them standing.

The relief provided by this victory is no small matter: they picked up three vital points that boost morale just before a demanding clash against Villarreal. Even so, the spotlight was firmly on Mbappé, who scored another hat-trick and confirmed why he is the most decisive player at the club. His goals, which have already earned him spectacular statistics in the Champions League and La Liga, were once again a lifeline in a match that would have had a very different outcome without him.

However, the night left a bitter taste: the situation of Federico Valverde. The Uruguayan, who was going to start, was relegated at the last minute by Ceballos, and his reaction showed clear signs of annoyance. He refused to warm up normally, was distant, and ended up not entering the field. This episode opens an uncomfortable front in Xabi Alonso’s management, which he will have to resolve soon to prevent the dressing room from being affected.

Result: Kairat (0) – (5) Real Madrid

UEFA Champions League: Matchday 2 Roundup: Chelsea vs. Benfica

Stamford Bridge witnessed a tight match with few chances, which was decided by an unfortunate detail. Chelsea beat Benfica 1-0 thanks to an own goal by Richard Ríos, who, in his attempt to clear a cross from Garnacho, ended up sending the ball into his own net. It was a stroke of luck for the English side, who managed to hold on to their narrow lead in a slow-paced game with more tension than football.

José Mourinho’s return to the Champions League with Benfica did not have the expected outcome. The Portuguese coach, who was back on the bench for the Eagles in Europe, suffered the frustration of seeing his team unable to find a way to trouble the opposition’s defense. Despite collective effort, the lack of precision and creativity in the final third cost them dearly.

The most significant image came outside of the game itself: Mourinho intervened to calm Portuguese fans who were throwing objects at Enzo Fernández, a former Benfica player, as he prepared to take a corner kick. Beyond that gesture of authority by the coach, the result leaves Chelsea with their first three points of the league phase, while the Portuguese remain winless and face a difficult road ahead in the standings.

Result: Chelsea (1) – (0) Benfica

UEFA Champions League: Matchday 2 Roundup: Barcelona x PSG

Montjuic hosted one of the most eagerly awaited clashes of the day, and the match did not disappoint in terms of intensity and excitement. Barcelona started strongly and dominated the first 30 minutes, taking the lead with a goal from Ferran Torres.

However, their initial momentum waned, and PSG began to balance the game with more incisive football that caused problems for the Barça defense.

Luis Enrique, back at his old home, knew how to adjust his pieces, and the Parisian team found the equalizer thanks to Mayulu, who took advantage of a defensive lapse by the home side. From then on, Barça lost their fluidity, and the match turned into an exchange of blows in which both goals were under constant threat.

When everything pointed to a fair draw, Gonçalo Ramos appeared in the 90th minute to score the decisive goal that silenced the stadium. With this victory, PSG has six points and reaffirms itself as a candidate to retain the title. For Hansi Flick, on the other hand, there remains the concern of not having been able to hold on to the lead and having let slip a game that seemed under control in the first half.

Result: Barcelona (1) – (2) PSG

UEFA Champions League: Matchday 2 Roundup: Napoli vs. Sporting

The Diego Armando Maradona Stadium finally celebrated a European victory after more than a year away from the Champions League. Napoli beat Sporting 2-1 in a thrilling match, marked by the connection between two of their new signings: Kevin De Bruyne and Rasmus Hojlund. The Belgian assisted and the Dane finished, both scoring the two goals that gave the Italian champions some breathing space.

Antonio Conte’s team needed this victory after their opening defeat to Manchester City, and although they struggled, they knew how to respond at key moments. Hojlund opened the scoring with a precise counterattack in the 36th minute after a pinpoint pass from De Bruyne. But the calm was short-lived: a penalty converted by Luis Suárez brought the Portuguese side back on level terms in the second half.

As the match was heading for a draw, the De Bruyne-Hojlund partnership came to the fore once again. The Belgian midfielder delivered a perfect cross that the striker headed into the back of the net to seal the final 2-1 score. The result restores confidence to a Napoli side looking to consolidate its position in Europe after its absence last season, while Sporting leaves with the feeling of having let a valuable point slip away.

Result: Napoli (2) – (1) Sporting
