Bayern kicked off the season on all fronts at a very high level. Julian Nagelsmann’s team is currently in the lead in the Bundesliga and also occupies the first line in its group of the Champions League. Despite the fact that the Bavarians were initially considered the main favorites of the quartet, their 3:0 victory over Barcelona at Camp Nou in the first round was still a surprise. In the second match, the Bavarians did not leave a single chance for Dynamo. Five goals were sent to the gates of the champion of Ukraine, Manuel Neuer was completely out of work that evening. The most difficult match for Bayern to date was the match against Benfica in Lisbon. Until the 70th minute, the Eagles held a goalless draw, but then crumbled and conceded four goals.

The leader of the English Premier League played without any problems the match of the tenth round, where it dealt with Newcastle away (3:0). After this match, the “pensioners” have already chalked up eight successful matches and a draw, which brought 25 points and first place. It is especially worth noting the performance in the defense line, which conceded only three times in the entire season. The Blues played well in the first round of the Champions League. In the opening round the Londoners gained three points with some difficulty in the match with Zenit (1:0), after which they suffered a fiasco in a duel with Juventus, which today leads the group N.
