Here are the best goals from this week of the Champions League, including the Belgian goal.
Who says Champions League evenings, necessarily says crazy goal! With 18 new matches played between Tuesday and Wednesday, many goals were scored. Some magnificent, others gags and others more symbolic than anything else.
Small retrospective of this week of European football.
1 – He’s not “handsome” but what a joke he is
Let’s do a little patriotism and start with the oh-so-important goal scored by Club Brugge. 1-0 winners over Aston Villa, Bruges were able to count on a very special helping hand from English defender Mings. By taking the ball in hand in his own area, the Villains defender offered a penalty on a silver platter to Hans Vanaken, who did not hesitate.
2 – Bakayoko did everything alone
PSV Eindhoven won 4-0 against Girona this Tuesday, during the 4th day of the League phase of the Champions League. Ryan Flamingo, Malik Tillmann, Johan Bakayoko and Ladislav Krejci, against his camp, scored the goals of the match. That of our Red Devil is perhaps the most beautiful: starting from the corner point, the winger simply did everything on his own by entering the axis and unleashing a dry strike into the closed corner of the Girona goalkeeper. Great art!
3 – Luis Diaz, all finesse
Liverpool blew up Xabi Alonso’s Bayer Leverkusen (4-0) on Tuesday at Anfield, thanks to a thunderous second half which extended the perfect debut of Arne Slot’s team in the Champions League.
Indeed, the score was still 0-0 at the hour mark, when Luis Diaz decided to come out of his box. Launched behind the defense, the Colombian finds himself face to face with Hradecky and places the ball in the goal with a subtle lob.
4 – A missile in the Dutch cages
Salzburg won 1-3 on the Feyenoord pitch thanks to two goals from Konaté (45+2nd, 58th) and a goal from Daouda Guindo (86th) which followed Anis Hadj’s reduction of the gap Moussa (81st).
A match that didn’t seem like anything like that, but which offered some very good goals, including the last from the Austrians, a magnificent strike from outside the area.
Bonus – Not a goal, but…
Atalanta Bergamo of Charles de Ketelaere went for a very important victory on the ground of the Germans of Stuttgart. On the bench at the start of the match, the Belgian stepped into the game and was directly decisive by offering, after a very good rush on the side, a decisive pass to his teammate Ademola Lookman.
In the ranking, the Italians are 9th, just behind the first 8 qualifying places directly for the round of 16.
