2-1 winner over FC Barcelona two weeks ago, AS Monaco failed to confirm during the 2nd day of the Champions League. On the rain-soaked pitch of the Maksimir stadium, however, the Monegasques snatched a 2-2 draw against Dinamo Zagreb thanks to a penalty converted by Denis Zakaria at the end of the match.
This goal from the Swiss international and captain of Monaco was snatched after a match where, in torrential and continuous rain, Dinamo, less playful than its opponent but motivated as ever, managed to score from each Monegasque error. Also in the starting eleven, Embolo, in difficulty, entangled, alone in the Dinamo rearguard, gave up his place at the break.

Two giants of Europe have put their foot down: Real Madrid and Bayern Munich both lost 1-0, to Lille and Aston Villa respectively. Real, reigning European champions, disappointed at the Pierre-Mauroy stadium. Lille was enterprising and dynamic from the first period. And it was logical that Jonathan David transformed without trembling the penalty obtained via a handball in the area from Eduardo Camavinga.
Bayern Munich, undefeated this season so far, fell on a bone in Birmingham, home of the Aston Villa club, which after having had a surprising season last year continues to shine. Former Paris SG coach Unai Emery holds an exploit against the dominant formation of Vincent Kompany, who broke his teeth on a great Emiliano Martinez in the Villans goals.
