In the place where the legend of the "Miracle of Istanbul" was written 20 years ago, Liverpool suffered their third defeat of the season and their first in the Champions League on the last day of September.

This time, the largest Turkish city was a nightmare for the "Reds", with the excellent Galatasaray winning 1:0.

The only goal was scored by Victor Osimhen from the penalty spot, who thus became the first Nigerian to score 10 goals in the European elite.

Arne Slot's team tried to turn things around, but somehow looked completely powerless, while Okan Buruk knew how to stop the English champions in the right way.

The first night of the 2nd round of the Champions League also marked the return of Jose Mourinho to Stamford Bridge, but this time there were no celebrations for the legendary Chelsea coach.

His Benfica was defeated by the "blues" 1:0, thanks to an own goal by Richard Rios.

Atletico Madrid "fired off" two "firecrackers" in just a few days - after "smashing" bitter rival Real Madrid (5:2), Diego Simeone's team did the same with Eintracht (5:1).

Giacomo Raspadori, Robin Le Normand, Antoine Griezmann, Giuliano Simeone and Jillian Alvarez filled the net for the Frankfurt team. 

For the legend Griezmann, it was the 200th goal for the "Colchoneros".

Bayern was also convincing, as expected against Paphos in Cyprus (5:1), and an interesting match was played in northern Europe.

Bode/Glimt had a 2-0 lead against Tottenham thanks to goals from Jens Peter Hauge, but Spurs managed to pull away through Mickey van de Ven and an own goal in the 89th minute.

Our Nikola Krstović also played in the earlier match, and his Atalanta managed to defeat Club Brugge (2:1) with a turnaround.
