GW2: UCL REVIEW

Barca victorious despite Inter fight, a goal-fest at Spurs and Anfield, Zidane's woes continue and these Ajax boys😊. 

Barcelona took to the Camp Nou field in the hope to get their first UCL win this season only to be shocked by an early Lautauro Martinez goal. Inter managed to end the first half with the 1-0 lead just to be befuddled by a Luiz Suarez brace in the second half. Antonio Conte would have best hoped for the draw after Barca pulled parity but Messi had the better of two Inter players as he slotted a pass to Suarez to get his second.

Spurs were out of sorts when they came up against Bayern Munich at home. Despite conceding an early goal, Niko Kovac's side went on to score seven past the home team. Serge Gnabry got his sauce ready as he got four on the night. Pochettino needs to get to the drawing board as quickly as possible. 

Liverpool could not manage the game as they let a 3-1 first-half lead slip. RB Salzburg were level just 15 minutes into the second half. The defending of the holders was poor but Salah got on the end of a Firmino header to edge the visitors. Erling Haaland came off the bench to get a goal though. He is scoring for fun and the entire team has scored 40 goals in nine league games.

Ronaldo scored against Bayern Leverkusen as Juventus came away with a 3-0 conquest. Higuaín and Bernardeschi got on the scoresheet also. Sterling and Foden came off the bench to ensure Pep's win over Dinamo Zagreb. Real Madrid played out a frustrating 2-2 draw at home when CFR Brugge visited.

It was not a pleasant day for certain home teams as PSG, Dortmund, Atletico Madrid, Lokomotiv Moscow, and Lyon got wins away. Lampard's Chelsea struggled away but was able to get past a resilient Lille side. Tammy Abraham scored from Tomori's ball into the box and Willian sealed the victory from a Hudson Odoi cross. 

Ajax has marveled football fans across the globe with their exciting football with its brand coming from the Cryuff style. The turns and trickery amaze opponents and Erik ten Hag's impressive work cannot be underrated. A 3-0 victory away to Valencia just proves how this team has grown this culture of football. 

Player of the Week: Serge Gnabry of FC Bayern Munich. 

Hwang Hee-chan's turn and shot to dribble past Van Dijk gets my vote for goal of the week.
