The Champions League has started, and in what a way. Of the first six matches, almost every one was a spectacle in itself.
And, two Montenegrins were part of it all.
Marko Janković made history with Qarabag, the team from Azerbaijan achieved its first ever victory in the Champions League - in Lisbon, they came from 0:2 down to 3:2 and defeated Benfica.
Our midfielder crowned his first match in the European elite with a great assist for Qarabag's second goal.
Vasilije Adžić also played, for about twenty minutes, after he won the "Derby of Italy" over the weekend. And once again in the crazy Juventus match.
The Bianconeri conceded a fourth goal from Borussia Dortmund in the 86th minute, trailing 4:2, and then in the 94th and 96th minutes, Dušan Vlahović and Lloyd Kelly scored goals to tie the game (4:4).
With a lot of struggle, but also with character and a player less (Carvajal was sent off), Real Madrid achieved victory - the royal club was losing to Marseille, but with goals from Kylian Mbappe from the penalty spot, they achieved an important victory (2:1).
Tottenham also opened the Champions League with a victory, defeating Villarreal (1:0) thanks to a gift from goalkeeper Luis Junior.
