The UEFA Champions League continued on Wednesday night with thrilling matchday three encounters. Barcelona dismantled Bayern Munich at home, while Manchester City cruised past Czech side Slavia Prague.
Raphinha opened the scoring for Barcelona with what appears to be the fastest goal of this year’s tournament, just a minute into the game. He went on to complete a hat-trick, with Robert Lewandowski adding a fourth. Harry Kane netted a consolation goal for Bayern, but it wasn’t enough to salvage any points.
Meanwhile, Manchester City showed no mercy in a 5-0 rout of Slavia Prague. Erling Haaland bagged a brace, with Phil Foden, Matheus Nunes, and John Stones also on the scoresheet. Stones’ recent performances have been impressive, including his late contributions in the Premier League, where he helped City secure a win against Wolves and a draw with Arsenal.
Liverpool continued their flawless Champions League campaign with a narrow 1-0 victory over RB Leipzig, joining Aston Villa as the only teams with a perfect record in the competition this season. This win also marks Liverpool’s best-ever start to a season, with 11 wins from their first 12 games—a new milestone in the club’s history.
