From Ketelaere scorer for butter
The most beautiful poster of the evening was this remake of the UEFA Super Cup between the last winners of the Champions League and the Europa League. Also a Belgian duel between Charles De Ketelaere and Thibaut Courtois. And this turned to the advantage of the Madrilenian, despite a goal from the Atalanta player.
The Red Devil, in great form with Déa, responded, via a perfectly kicked penalty (45th+2), to Mbappé’s opener (11th). But Vinicius (56th) then Bellingham (59th) then carried the Merengues. And even if Lookman gave hope to the Italians (65th: 2-3), the Merengues held on until the end. And here they are virtually in 18th place. The only big downside: Mbappé’s injury exit after half an hour.
Leipzig eliminated, despite Openda
Sixth match, sixth failure. And a record of 0 out of 18 which officially condemns Leipzig. Despite a nice opportunistic goal from Loïs Openda (27th) and also a good assist (62nd), the German team fell against a more solid Aston Villa team. With a very good Tielemans (Onana remained on the bench), Unai Emery’s men responded to the Germans each time (2-3). Leipzig is the first club mathematically out.

Bakayoko surprised
A domination (and a big waste) of Johan Bakayoko’s PSV Eindhoven. But a new little miracle from Brestois (1-0). The Breton team (5th with 13 pts) now only needs a small point to be officially assured of the top 24. But there is now no doubt that their adventure will continue. For their part, the Dutch (21st) are in danger.
Engels neutralized
Finally, let us point out the split between Dinamo Zagreb and Celtic (0-0), where Arne Engels only participated in the final 25 minutes.
