The biggest game is of course AC Milan Vs Liverpool. I have a feeling that despite being the favourite, Liverpool will not win it. After the bad start, Milan finally noted a decent game with a 4-0 win over Venezia last Saturday, while Liverpool tripped over Nottm Forest and lost 1-0 at home.

Damn, I'm really not good at predictions.
I haven't watched the game and can't find any decent highlights at the moment, but looking at the match stats, it was a walk in the park for Liverpool.
AC Milan scored an early one, but it didn't take long for the Reds to equalise and then take the lead.
Liverpool has almost 3 times more shots on goal and over 5 times more shots on target.
I guess Milan are not as good as I thought they are...

Has anyone seen the whole game? Was Liverpool as dominating as the stats suggest?

Liverpool literally dominated the hell out of Milan. At a point, I was wondering who was at home and who was away. Good header from Van dijk and Konate. Liverpool really showed some quality tonight, and it's good to have them back in the game.
Aside that, the entire match day one fixtures were very exciting. Goals coming from both sides, except Villa that kept a clean sheet. Some teams choose not to be friendly in anyway, as they destroyed their opponent in a very embarrassing manner. We saw the qualities of Harry Kane today, as he better 4 goals for himself, making him the current highest goal scorer in the competition. I will be waiting for Haaland's response.

Today's games have been concluded. Over to those that will be in action tomorrow

I made some predictions earlier, but here is my new prediction:
Shakhtar Donetsk, Salzburg, Celtic, Dortmund and PSG to win. While City to draw Inter. Let's see how it goes.

Bayern Munich looks very convincing, they are leading with 7 goals. It seems everyone to change their perspective about Bayern Munich. Under Kompany's management, Bayern Munich looks performing very impressive so far. They are leading Bundesliga standings and they seems to lead UCL league table as well.

Bayern Munich scored 9 goals. Kane scored 4 goals. It was a crazy match, Bayern Munich looks better now. I think Bayern Munich is very possible to reach the final round in this season. If they can keep good performance, they may be the champion in UCL this season. Nice game for Bayern Munich..

9 goals wow...Incredible, That's a top performance
The biggest Bayern win in their UCL history and the first team to score 9 goals in one game in UCL history
Harry Kane becomes the first player to score a hat-trick of penalties in a single UCL match and Vincent Kompany gets the biggest result ever by a coach in his UCL debut
Good start to surely a special season... Congrats

I've just watched the extended highlights of the Real Vs Stuttgart and frankly, despite the result, Stuttgart looked like a better team. They absolutely dominated the first half, they had a lot of great chances to score but were just out of luck.
The second half was more even and it was Real who came on the top, but we have to give Stuttgart a due credit. They played a really good football, dominated in ball possession and created better chances. If they keep playing like this, they could turn out to be a dark horse of this season UCL.

wow for real, really incredible.. 9 goals is so much
clearly they also exaggerated a little, they could have stopped after a while, scoring 9 goals also means humiliating the opponent
which certainly was totally owned

clearly one at the beginning says wow, but think about who lost, a real humiliation

Overall Stuttgart's game was good, it's just that they were not so strong in holding back the attacks launched by Real Madrid, on the other hand the attacks carried out by Real Madrid in this match were more effective than before.

The first 3 points for Real Madrid in the Champions League this season, this is a good step for them to face the next match in the Champions League, yes even though they still have problems with their squad.

It started just as imagined and there werent really that many shocking results so far. Real Madrid got an easy win, which everyone assumed it would be like that anyway since stuttgart had absolutely no chance of winning that game unless some shocking miracle happened. Liverpool beat Milan as we assumed as well, sure Milan was once a big team and they won many titles but they are far away from that level right now. One big shock was Bayern Munich, while it was expected them to win, a 9 goal win was soöething nobody could assume, that was an epic game without a doubt

Here are the odds for today's Chamipons League matches (except for those 2 that have already started):



Yesterday, all the favourites won their matches. I expect it could be the same story today, although it's statistically unlikely that there will not be a single surprise in so many games.
Man City Vs Inter is the biggest one, and I think the Italian team could cause some trouble to Guardiola's team. A lot will be down to the luck in this one.

[Uruhara]

It looks like today's match is different from yesterday's opening match. In today's match, all teams appeared to be careful both in attacking and defending. especially in the PSG vs Girona match where there are still minimal attempts that can result in goals. Meanwhile, for the Man City vs Inter Milan match, both teams are still superior with their respective strategies so that no one has scored a goal. Maybe in the second half someone has to break the deadlock in today's match. Because 3 of today's 4 matches all still have a score of 0-0. Only the Celtic vs Slovan Bratislava match had the score showing superiority for one of the teams, namely with a score of 1-0 in the first half. Meanwhile, the PSG vs Girona, Club Brugge vs Dortmund matches and the Man City vs Inter match are all still 0-0. And now the second half begins, I hope there will be better excitement in the second half.

Manchester vs Inter Milan - still a tense match several times attacks from both clubs to create goal opportunities but failed, and well indeed these two teams are strong when viewed in terms of their game.

Maybe the result will be goalless? Will Inter Milan surprise at the end? Inter Milan odds are big if they win bettors will be happy.

I think Simone Inzaghi will really make a surprise with Inter Milan in the UCL. because if Man City has difficulty penetrating Inter Milan's defense then I think other teams will definitely have more difficulty when facing Inter Milan. For today's match I am not sure whether Man City will score a goal. but I hope there will be goals in this match. because it's really quite boring. Similar things happened in other matches except for the Celtic vs Slovan match and the Club Brugge vs Dortmund match.

This is definitely not the fixture we expect that no team will be able to find the next, I was almost picking this game to gamble on and putting a bet on both teams to score, but no goals still. This will not be how Pep Guardiola would have imagined his first game in the Champions League this season.

Girona have also not made it easy for PSG, who would have been expecting to be winning this home game. Many chances have been missed, and some saved by Girona's goalkeeper. I feel there will be a goal before the end.

[Uruhara]

It seems like many will be disappointed if Man City fails to beat Inter Milan in today's match. Because this is a home match for Man City. But they still had difficulty scoring goals in today's match. Even now the time has entered additional minutes. And it looks like the score won't change. And the match will end in a draw. For Inter Milan a draw would still be quite good. Because being able to hold Man City to a draw will definitely be a matter of pride. And now the match has ended as I type this message. And yeah, Man City really couldn't do much in this match thanks to the strong defense built by Simone Inzaghi's troops.

Other matches have also ended. But only the Man City vs Inter Milan match ended in a goalless draw.

It ended that the Manchester vs Inter match ended with a draw that was an advantage for Inter Milan they could win 1 point at home to Manchester City.

But for bettors may not be happy.

PSG won due to an own goal from Girona goalkeeper? I didn't see the replay, maybe in a few minutes I'll know.

Dortmund did a good job in the second half.

[Zed0X]

Bayern Munich scoring 9 goals and still nobody voting for them to win this season? Just kidding. I know it's just one game but that shows a lot already and will continue boost their confidence as the tournament progresses. First day of matchday 1 must have been a great start for those who parlay all the big teams (favorites).
