So, what are you current thought on the first week of CL football as of now? I watched Inter vs Spurs and Liverpool vs PSG and both of these game were a treat in term of drama. PSG didn't look very convincing however and Spurs looked only good in the second period of their game for me. At the end of the day, I'm still happy cause I'm alway hoping for Inter to go back to their former european glory day. What do you guys think though?

Only good thoughts :)

Just like you, also watched Spurs Inter and PSG Liverpool.

Regarding Inter vs Spurs, I thought Inter were very good and they impressed me, never gave up after going 1-0 down and fought till the very end. Icardi's goal should be a goal of the week.

As for Liverpool vs PSG, I thought PSG were very poor, front trio did not click at all in this match and when PSG equalised, I thought they didn't deserve the point at all, so even as a United fan, I'd say I was pleased that Firmino got the winning goal at the end.

Also, very surprised with Napoli's result, thought it was suppose to be a walk in the park for them, but it clearly wasn't, not sure what went wrong there.

@Gennady Agreed with what you said. Had some feedback from an Arsenal fan about Red Star, apparently, they play very very defensively against larger and barely even try to attack. Their game will be boring no doubt. I also think Ancelotti is past his best time as manager though, so there might be that.

And yeah, Icardi goal was really goal, deserve to be in the goals of the week for sure.

Liverpool were the better side in their game against PSG, Paris barely created any good occassion and were actually lucky to nearly come out of that game with a point for me. Meanwhile, Liverpool nearly bottled their 2-0 lead in the end but Firmino saved the day so I'm glad. It felt like a fair results in the end.

PSG were very disappointing. Very lazy display from Neymar in particular.

@Dynast Agreed, he had a good run where he took on a bunch of player in the first half but after that, nothing really incredibly useful.

looks like manchester city can't do well with pep on the stands. I am so glad arsenal didn't choose arteta as manager, he wasn't ready for it as today proves.

Ronaldo red card was a joke. On the other hand, Roma looked incredibly weak compared to last season.

Farmers surprised me yesterday and today. Overall, i think best performance goes to Real Madrid. 30 attempts ... I don't know how Roma held out to 3-0.

@Marcus Apparently, it was thank to their superb goalkeeper. No idea if thats true but he seemed decent at least.

@Dynast 100% agreed. I'm not CR7 biggest fan and you know that but that red card was completely ridiculous. VAR need to be implemented asap. Feel bad for Ronaldo, the guy since he arrived at Juve have been full of desire and of passion, he clearly want the move to work out and he is doing the right thing for that to happen. Hope he won't be give any game ban or at least, the minimum.

Edit: By the way, I'm really glad to see Mariano Diaz got a goal in, you could see how glad he was to do that for Real. :D

I missed the second half because of school, but yeah I'm happy Mariano is off to a good start. It's likely he'll be needed to play heavy minutes deeper into the season, especially if Benzema isn't making as many runs into the box or we need an extra goalscorer on the pitch.

@Dynastian Indeed, I still personally disagree he was given the 7, yet I'm hoping he does great thing this season. :D

Oh wow, some people actually saying Ronaldo deserved that red card. Whats going on? :U

CL has brought everything to life.

@Emo

Are you talking about journalists or "analysts"? Because these people are all paid to take extreme stances. It's never fun if everyone takes the same stance because then they make no money (unless it's a political issue). In a political case (e.g. Kaepernick, LBJ), most American and British sports agencies all take liberal stances.

@Dynast No, I'm talking about fan like you and me. Saw a comment on reddit saying "if there is contact, then its a immediate red" about the fact CR7 touched his opponent head. I find this to be very naive comments.

A lot of people would say these kinds of things only about Ronaldo since there is a very large group of fans who seem to be envious of Ronaldo's fame, success, good looks, etc. and try to solve their insecurity by defaming Ronaldo at every opportunity.

I guarantee you that if this was Leo Messi, then they would be saying "oh use some common sense, he just scruffled the defender's hair. That's not even a yellow".

@Dynastian Propably, but then again, some of the guy saying it was never a red and who are are envious of Messi fame and talent would propably appear and say it was absolutely a red and that its proof Messi isn't perfect. Its never black or white, there are both CR7 haters and Messi haters.

Lol the disparity between the group of people who hate Ronaldo and the group of people who hate Messi is massive. Far more people hate Ronaldo because of the media entourage who demean him at every turn. The media always loves Messi and never says anything negative about him.

It’s more the fact that Messi got left out of the awards this year. That’s a joke
