Bayern Munich mantain their perfect record so far in the Champions League after beating defending champion, PSG 2-1 this midweek. Meanwhile, Liverpool continue their positive result as they beat Real Madrid 1-0 at Anfield.
10 Men Bayern Stunned PSG
The Bavarians have been showing an impressive form in this early stage of the season, both in the Bundesliga and Europe. Vincent Kompany’s side extended their winning run to 16 games in a row on Tuesday following an impressive win against PSG.
Playing away from home didn’t stop Bayern from taking an attacking initiative as they went on the attack from the get-go. Bayern’s aggressive approach was eventually rewarded as they went 1-0 up after just four minutes through Luis Diaz.
The Colombian international doubled his tally and put his team two goals up on 32 minute, but got himself sent off just before the half-time break following a tackle on Achraf Hakimi. Playing with 10 men forced Bayern to defend more as PSG increased their pressure to get back into the game.
The home team did manage to pull one goal back through Joao Neves in the 75th minute, but Luis Enrique’s men couldn’t get that equalizing goal. It’s an impressive win for Bayern as they maintain their perfect record so far this season.
Liverpool Took Down Madrid
In the other Tuesday big match, Arne Slot’s men were looking to continue their positive weekend result with another victory. Liverpool set up a more conservative approach against Los Blancos, and the Reds’ strategy was a success.
Xabi Alonso’s men struggled to break down the home team’s defense, allowing Slot’s boys to hit on the counter. Liverpool finally struck the blow midway into the second half with a goal from their star midfielder, Alexis McAllister.
That goal was enough to secure all three points for the Reds as they held down Madrid’s barrage comfortably. It was an important result for Liverpool, especially after ending their recent Premier League winless drought last weekend.
The win against Los Blancos should give an extra confidence and motivation for the Reds for their upcoming matches.
