Brest vs Bayer – 1:1
Goals: Pierre Lys Melou (39) – F. Wirtz (24)
Ah, the classic battle of who can outscore whom! In this case, both teams decided sharing was caring, and ended up in a stalemate. Nothing like a good ol’ draw to keep the fans on their toes, or was that just keeping them in their seats because they couldn’t bear to leave early?
Atalanta vs Celtic – 0:0
What do you get when you mix Italian flair with Scottish grit? Apparently, a whole lot of nothing! The scoreline says it all—at least the defenders had their day out, eh?

Goals: Phil Foden (3), Haaland (58, 68), John Stones (64), Matheus Nunez (88 pen)
Wow, Manchester City just tossed Sparta out of their Champions League dreams like yesterday’s leftovers! Haaland once again proving that when it comes to scoring, he doesn’t do it in halves. It’s like he’s shopping during a sale—buy one, get one free!
RB Leipzig vs Liverpool – 0:1
Goals: D. Nunes (27)
And down goes Leipzig! Liverpool goes marching in, taking the spoils with a single, precious goal. Remember, it’s not the size of the dog in the fight; it’s the size of the fight in the dog. And boy, did Liverpool bring their A-game!

Interview with Football Analyst Sam Thompson on Champions League Results from October 23
Editor: Good evening, Sam! Another thrilling round of Champions League football has taken place, leaving fans buzzing with excitement. What are your thoughts on the standout match from this round?
Sam Thompson: Good evening! Absolutely, the standout fixture had to be Manchester City versus Sparta. A 5-0 thrashing really showcases the dominance of City this season, especially with Haaland consistently finding the net. It’s a bit like they’re on a different level right now, wouldn’t you say?
Editor: Definitely! Haaland’s incredible form is hard to ignore. Speaking of standout performances, Barcelona’s 4-1 victory against Bayern raised eyebrows too. Raphinha was a standout with his hat-trick. What does this say about Barcelona’s current trajectory?
Sam Thompson: It says they’re back in the conversation! Raphinha’s performance was electric, and it feels like they’re finally finding their rhythm after some struggles in previous seasons. Beating Bayern in such a fashion sends a message to the rest of Europe. They’re not just participating; they’re contenders.
Editor: A great point! On the flip side, we saw some surprising results like RB Leipzig losing to Liverpool and Salzburg falling to Dynamo Zg. Do you think these outcomes will impact the teams’ morale moving forward?
Sam Thompson: Definitely. RB Leipzig will need to regroup after that loss. Losing at home, especially on a stage like this, can be demoralizing. As for Salzburg, they were likely expected to perform better. Dynamo Zg’s underdog victory serves as a reminder that anything can happen in football, so teams must stay alert!
Editor: looking ahead to the upcoming matches on November 5, which one are you particularly excited about?
Sam Thompson: I’m really looking forward to Real Madrid against Milan. This is a classic matchup, and both teams have rich histories in this competition. Given their current forms, it could be a high-stakes clash. Fans should definitely mark their calendars for that one!
Editor: Thank you for your insights, Sam! It’s always a pleasure to get your take on the beautiful game. Let’s see what surprises the next round holds!
Sam Thompson: Thanks for having me! Can’t wait for the next round; it’s always a wild ride in the Champions League!
Forward in the tournament?
Sam Thompson: Absolutely, those results can hit hard. Leipzig has been considered a strong team in recent years, and losing to Liverpool at home could shake their confidence. Similarly, Salzburg would have expected to do better against Dynamo Zg, especially on their own turf. Both teams will need to regroup quickly if they want to find their way back into contention.
Editor: And let’s not forget about the intriguing encounter between Atalanta and Celtic, which ended in a goalless draw. Do you think that lack of scoring reflects more on the teams’ offense or the strength of their defenses?
Sam Thompson: It’s a bit of both, really. Both teams have their strengths, but they seemed well matched defensively on the night. Atalanta is known for their attacking prowess but failed to break down a resolute Celtic side. This could be a wake-up call for Atalanta as they need to find that cutting edge if they’re to make an impact in the tournament.
Editor: Interesting insights, Sam! Looking ahead, are there any upcoming matches that particularly catch your eye on November 5?
Sam Thompson: Yes, the clash between Real Madrid and AC Milan stands out. With the history between those two sides, it’s always a spectacle. And don’t overlook Liverpool against Bayer Leverkusen; Liverpool will be looking to build on their momentum from this week. It promises to be an exciting round of fixtures!
Editor: Excellent! Thank you for your valuable insights, Sam. It seems like the Champions League is only going to get more thrilling from here!
Sam Thompson: Thank you! Looking forward to the next round!
