Highlights from Round 2
Arsenal Beat PSG
Arsenal maintained their unbeaten start to the 2024/25 campaign as they secured all three points in their Champions League opener. With 20 minutes on the clock, Kai Havertz put Mikel Arteta’s side with his fifth goal of the season before stand-in captain Bukayo Saka doubled their lead from a free-kick.
Since losing Kylian Mbappe in the summer, PSG are going through a big rebuilding project, looking to bring young players in.
They played some good passing and dominated the possession stats at The Emirates but their style of play is severely lacking any penetration.
Bayern Munich beaten by Aston Villa
Bayern moved the ball quickly from the start, dominating possession and threatening to trouble Villa with their movement out wide but in Ollie Watkins, the home side always had an outlet. Dayot Upamecano, isolated, struggled to deal with the England striker.
Jhon Durán was the hero, coming off the bench and sending a shot over the backpedalling Neuer to net the winner after 79 minutes.
Real Madrid lost to Lille
Lille pressed relentlessly and took the win courtesy of a Jonathan David penalty in first-half stoppage time to hand Ancelotti’s team their first defeat in all competitions since January.
Real Madrid – record 15-times Champions League winners – have three points after two matches following their opening win over VfB Stuttgart.
“Everything was pretty bad. We did badly with the ball, although the team was quite compact in the first half, it was difficult for us to recover the ball, it was difficult for us to make transitions,” Ancelotti told reporters.
