Is this season's Uefa Champions League not getting interesting?? How do you explain Realmadrid loosing scandalous at home to Milan 1-3?? 

I mean this Milan side who has won just one out of their last three games in the UCL? something is definitely wrong, I think Madrid is suffering from a couple of things ranging from lack of squad depth, injuries, lack of form on the part of players like Bellingham and most especially Valverde and Camavinga, Modric is on his last legs, Mbappe isn't a number 9, defense line is in a total mess with the absence of Carvajal, unreliable Mendy and Militao. 

It's going to be a season of massive struggle for the Madrid side except they boost their squad come January. Please what happened to Manchester City? I didn't see the game, I just saw they lost 1-4?? What happened? Can someone help summarize what went wrong cos 1-4 is quite a heavy loss. 

I am sure Manchester United Fans were in a joyous mode last night seeing their new coach thrash City?? Lol!! We really have to agree Arne Slot's Liverpool is a strong contender for this season's UCL and EPL as well, defeating Leverkusen 4-0 isn't a joke, this was an entire whitewash, fantastic job Slot. 

Also, what is happening to Xabi Alonso's Leverkusen? They seem to be finding it so difficult to replicate last season's form. 

Here are the results of the Uefa Champions League fixtures played last night :
Realmadrid 1 3 Milan
Sporting 4 1 Manchester City
PSV 4 0 Girona
Liverpool 4 0 Leverkusen
LOSC 1 1 Juventus
Dortmund 1 0 Strum
Celtic 3 1 Leipzig
