Group A: Napoli continues its momentum
The postponement of the match by 24 hours, due to logistical constraints linked to the death of Queen Elizabeth II, did not bother Naples. The Italians easily won, Wednesday, September 14, at the Glasgow Rangers Stadium (3-0), who finished the match in the tenth after James Sands (55) was excluded. Thus, the Napolitans, the leaders of the Italian Serie A, continue their good momentum after the correction of Liverpool (4-1).

Group E: Chelsea are still struggling
Dinamo Zagreb was surprised at the start of the group stage (1-0), which caused the dismissal of Thomas Tuchel, and Chelsea, now managed by Graham Potter, did not come to his senses and was monitored by Salzburg (1). 1) Despite Raheem Sterling’s opener. Londoners still sick and couldn’t breathe a little air before the big shock of the hen and Milan reception at Stamford Bridge on October 5.
Locked up in Salzburg a week ago (1-1), Milan gave no details against Dinamo Zagreb (3-1) and remained well entrenched in the top spot. The Italian champions kicked off particularly well from Olivier Giroud’s first-period penalty, his fourth goal in eight games this season, before revealing the score against the Croats who suddenly came back to the ground after their exploits against Chelsea.

Sixth group: a real grab for success
Without Karim Benzema, injured in the right thigh, Real Madrid would not have been in the party against RB Leipzig (2-0). But the European champions imposed the hierarchy in the extreme by grabbing the three points on late goals from Ernesto Valverde (80) and Marco Asensio (90+1).
After being corrected at home by Real Madrid (3-0), Celtic Glasgow failed to respond with a draw against Shakhtar Donetsk (1-1) in Warsaw. Logically speaking, the Scots are already having a hard time after two games.

Group G: Manchester City defeat Dortmund
Erling Haaland wasn’t kind to his former team. The man who has already cited a slew of defenses since arriving this summer at City celebrated his reunion with Borussia Dortmund with dignity by scoring his thirteenth goal in all competitions, to seal the success of the Manconianans, who were long behind. Time, six minutes. End of regulatory time (2-1).
Pep Guardiola’s soldiers calmly lead the way in this group after the draw between Copenhagen and Seville (0-0).

Group H: Juventus fall again
The Bianconeri admitted its second loss in two Champions League matches on Wednesday at home to Benfica (1-2), and is in poor shape in its group, six points behind the Portuguese and Paris Saint-Germain.
Outperformed by the quality of Paris Saint-Germain stars (1-2) in the opening, the “old lady” was this time overwhelmed with the envy of Benfica. The Portuguese returned to equality before breaking the penalty kick directly from Joao Mario (44), after opening the quick scoring for Arcadiusz Milik (fourth), and it is logical that he had the upper hand in the second half thanks to David Neres (55). The entry of Angel Di Maria into play after such a disastrous start to the second half was not enough to re-float borrowed Juventus, as Alf struggled to put pace in his play and fragile in defence.
For his part, PSG struggled for a long time, but ended up beating Maccabi Haifa grass (3-1) to take a second win in two matches.
