The UEFA Champions League, kicked off last night and it was as exciting as anticipated. Giving us 23 goals from the first eight matches that involved the teams in Group A to D.
In Group A, Manchester United hosted Basel at the Old Trafford stadium and by halftime, the visitors were trailing by a goal, before the in-form Lukaku added the second and then Marcos Rashford sealed the win with an 84th minute strike. In the other fixture in the group, Benfica lost at home to CSKA Moscow although they had taken the lead earlier thanks to a goal from Haris Seferovic in the 50th minute but Vitinho canceled out the opener before Timur Zamaletchi scored with 71 minutes on the board. Manchester United go top ahead of CSKA Moscow and Basel are at the bottom of the group.
Bayern Munich showed they had recovered from the weekend upset as they bashed Anderlecht who were clearly underdogs and went down early when Lewandoski converted a penalty just 12 minutes into the game with Thiago Alcantara and Kimmich also scoring. But they would be second in the group standings because PSG pummeled Celtic in Scotland 5-0 and the trio of Neymar, Cavani and Mbappe all got into the score sheet .
