The Sports Buff ⚽️ ⚾️ 🏈

Barcelona maintained their good form by beating Red Star Belgrade 5-2. Goals from Inigo Martinez, Lewandowski (2), Rafinha, and Fermin Lopez helped The Catalans on their way.

After suffering a shock result to Monaco on match day one, Hansi Flick’s side seem well set to qualify. One team that looked good to qualify was Aston Villa, but they lost their 100% record to Club Brugge, who took advantage of a comical penalty award.

The returning Tyrone Mings rolled the ball to the goal kick line, not realising the ball had not gone out of play. Former winners Bayern edged out Benfica 1-0, thanks to a Jamal Musiala goal, and two-time finalists Atletico Madrid defeated former finalists PSG 2-1: Andrea Correa, the man with a late goal to break Paris’s hearts.

In the other game with English interest, Inter Milan, who were finalists two seasons ago, beat Arsenal 1-0—Hakan Calhanoglu with the only goal, a penalty. Today’s action wasn’t as drama-filleddrama-filled as yesterday’s games.

The games played this week have allowed the table to take shape. That’s it from us; see you next week!
