The emotions of the UEFA Champions League in its 2023/23 season are already underway, and this week, we enjoyed the first matches of the Group Stage, where most of our favorite teams took a step forward to score 3 points.
We had very few surprises at the start of the tournament, standing out the 1-1 draws between Lazio and Atletico Madrid and between Inter Milan and Real Sociedad.
The rest of the matches had an expected outcome, with the favorites taking victories or matches between teams with a similar level of play ending with draws on the scoreboard.
Now, let’s see what happened in the main matches of the first day of the UEFA Champions League Group Stage.

In this new era of PSG post-Messi and Neymar, the spotlight was on the team in this difficult match. However, the squad pulled out all the stops at home, and, with an inspired Mbappé, they came away with a solid 2-0 win.
PSG dominated the first half as they took control of the ball and the game, creating a few chances to score. However, the Parisians put the game to bed in the first 20 minutes of the second half, as Kylian Mbappé (’49), through a penalty kick, and Achraf Hakimi (’58) scored the two goals for the home team.
Result: PSG (2) – (0) Borussia Dortmund

In this new season, FC Barcelona knows they have to leave behind those ghosts that have left them out of the last two editions of the Champions League in the Group Stage. However, everything seems to indicate that the team is at its best level of play and that the arrival of João Félix and João Cancelo has helped the team like a glove.
On this first matchday, the Culé team faced Antwerp, a team not used to being in these instances of this type of tournament. However, we know that in the Champions League, anything can happen.
Barça started the match at full speed, with a relentless attack on the defense of the visiting team and, thanks to this, they managed to open the scoreboard with a goal by João Félix at minute 11′, by Robert Lewandowski at minute 19′ and then with an own goal by Jelle Bataille at minute 22′.
With this, the Culés had the match practically sealed, and, in the second half, they struck the last two blows with goals by Gavi (’54) and João Félix at minute 66.
Result: Barcelona (5) – (0) Antwerp
Liga dos Campeões, 1ª rodada – Real Madrid vs. Union Berlin – Roundup
Quando:
Wednesday, September 20 at 10:45 AM ET in the Santiago Bernabeu
Probabilidades de vitória:
Real Madrid -270
União Berlim +710

While it is true that Real Madrid seems to have started the season with a spectacular level of play after winning the first 5 games in LaLiga EA Sports, there is no doubt that the team has some problems getting strong results.
Exemplo disso foi o jogo contra o Union Berlin que disputou no Santiago Bernabeu pelo início da Liga dos Campeões 2023/24. Os Merengues não puderam fazer grande coisa nesta partida, pois estiveram perto de dividir os pontos neste jogo em casa. No entanto, um gol no último minuto da estrela Jude Bellingham os venceu.
While it is true that ‘Los Blancos’ dominated the ball and the match, there is no doubt that they suffered in attack, as the team is without Vinicius Jr.
After more than 90 minutes, 32 scoring chances, and 6 shots on goal, Jude Bellingham arrived to save the victory for ‘Los Merengues’ in the 90+4 minute.
Union Berlin knew what they came for, i.e., they went to take a point from the Bernabeu and came close to getting it.
Resultado: Real Madrid (1) – (0) União Berlim
Liga dos Campeões, 1ª rodada – Bayern x Manchester United – Resumo

Por fim, uma partida que se previa uma vitória sólida para o Bayern de Munique terminou em festa de gols e, acima de tudo, em um jogo realmente emocionante.
A Allianz Arena assistiu a uma chuva de gols entre Bayern e Manchester United, o que nos proporcionou um clássico instantâneo.
O Bayern começou o jogo com algumas dúvidas, no entanto, graças a um erro de Onana, Leroy Sané ('28) abriu o marcador e Serge Gnabry ('32) mais tarde aproveitou outra oportunidade para ir para o intervalo com uma vantagem de 2-0. No entanto, o Manchester United tentou acordar após o gol de Rasmus Hojlund aos 49 minutos, mas a alegria durou pouco para os Red Devils, já que os bávaros marcaram o terceiro gol graças a um pênalti de Harry Kane aos 53 minutos.
Quando tudo parecia resolvido, Casemiro voltou a aproximar os ingleses aos 88 minutos, mas Mathys Tel fez o 4-2 apenas 4 minutos depois. Por fim, Casemiro voltou a ser encarregado de compensar um pouco mais o resultado ao bisar aos 90+5′.
