The kick -off of the European Champions Cup had seven games and true count: 19 goals, almost three per game.
He had a 4-4 with all goals in the second half, and the last three in the last ten minutes between Juventus and Borussia Dortmund in Turin.
He had two surprises for the principals Benfica and PSV, defeated by Qarabag and Union Saint-Colloise.
Okay, you, rare reader, and you, rare reader, can humiliate the columnist and say that they were only surprised by the games in Lisbon and Eindhoven ignorant about the power of Azerbaijano, or Azeri (Did you know?) Qarabag and Belgian Union SG.
Now, in the stadium of Luz, Benfica did 2-0 in the initial ten minutes and took the turn of the Azeri team, repeat, the other gentile for those born in Azerbaijan.
As much as one could expect from Qarabag, here was incorrectly spelled, because the tilde is missing about the poetic license allowed in our keyboards, because in Portugal they are already calling the club Qarabagolos.
It’s okay that Union SG, actually Royale Union Saint-Colloise, is the current Belgian champion, a title won after 90 years of waiting. But the PSV is the biggest Dutch champion, a cup more than Ajax.
(And, for those who like Gentiles, know that a folkloric president of the Paulista Football Federation between 1975 and 1990, the late João Mendonça Falcão, called Belgian Belgians).
The first day of Champions also had a penalty to the Brazilian to save the powerful, and record holder of Cup (15), Real Madrid, who only tied with Olympique Marseille, in Santiago Bernabéu, 1-1.
Highlight for Rodrygo, who started as a starter in place of Vinicius Junior and did a great time, and suffered the penalty that originated the draw.
Vini entered his place and originated the turn of the turn, well Mandrake, because in the ball beaten in the arm of the defender falling.
That is, there, like here, the heaviest shirt causes nervous whistle.
Moreover, Tottenham and Arsenal, two of the five representatives of English football in the tournament, debuted on the opening day. And with victory: the first, at home, 1-0 over Spanish Villarreal, and the second, in Bilbao, 2-0, over Athletic.
In London, goal against Brazilian goalkeeper Luiz Júnior just after three minutes facilitated the British triumph for only 1-0.
If you were unaware of the existence of the Piauiense archer, much pleasure! Count on the columnist’s solidarity and know that, at 24, he was revealed by Diadema, was at Mirassol and traveled to Portugal, where he played for Famalicão until he moved to Villarreal.
Finally, Arsenal did well in the Basque country thanks to the second half of striker Brazuca Martinelli, author of a great goal and the pass to the end, even with the London without the Norwegian conductor Odegaard and the right-wing Saka, the two largest stars of the team.
Now it can be said that the 2025 season started to real.
Because it is undeniable that champions fill the Tuesdays and Wednesdays and now in the new format, also those of Thursdays, with shine and emotion, even to those who ignored the power of Qarabag.
And he was unaware of one of the Gentiles of those born in Azerbaijan.
