Champions League second round: Arsenal has lost three consecutive times, Barcelona may lose first, Serie A two-pointer

This week, the Champions League entered the second round of the competition, divided into two match days, with 9 games arranged every day. In the second day's game, defending champion Paris Saint-Germain challenged Barcelona away, which was the focus of attention. The top three Premier League teams made a full attack, Arsenal had lost three consecutive times, Manchester City and Newcastle rushed to the away game, so we should not be careless. In the first round of the game, four Bundesliga teams won 2 wins and 2 draws remained unbeaten. In this round, Leverkusen faces Eindhoven at home, and Dortmund also plays at home, facing Athletic Bilbao. Dortmund is in good shape. He is one of the eight unbeaten teams in the five major leagues. He staged a goal battle with Juventus in the first round, conceded two goals in a row in stoppage time, and unfortunately got a draw. Facing the league's four games, Bilbao, which has been somewhat sluggish recently, he is determined to win three-pointers.

Leverkusen staged a comedy at the beginning of the season. Former Manchester United coach Ten Hager left the team after only 62 days, 1 win, 1 draw and 1 loss in 3 games. In fact, it is not too bad. Leaving the team is more due to off-court factors. After former Danish coach Jurmand took office, he won 2 wins and 1 draw in the league, rising to sixth place in the Bundesliga, and drew with Copenhagen from the Champions League, which was not much better than Tenhager. After several main players left, Leverkusen had to face a difficult season, and then faced strong opponents such as Paris and Manchester City. It was not easy to qualify.

defeated Benfica in the first round and indirectly found a new job for Mourinho, Karabach, who faced Copenhagen at home. It was the only team in the second round of the Champions League that did not participate in the five major league teams. The remaining 6 opponents of the two teams are familiar names. If you want to go further, this "weak showdown" is a key node, especially Karabakh. If you win two consecutive games, the hope of qualifying will increase greatly.

Naples faced Portugal Sports at home, Juventus challenged Villarreal away, only Portugal Sports defeated New Dinkerat in the first round, and the other three teams were unable to win in the first round. The four teams have very high rankings in the league and are in good condition recently. I believe that these two games are a showdown with relatively close strength, and it is hard to say who wins and loses. What is certain is that if you don’t win two games, or even only have 1 point or 0 points, the situation of qualifying will become very serious.

Three Premier League teams attacked collectively, and Arsenal faced Olympiacos at home, which was the team that won the European Union championship last summer. Perhaps what many people did not expect is that in the past five years, the two teams have met in the Europa League knockout stage for two consecutive years, and both sides eliminated each other once. In the past ten years, Arsenal has lost three home games. Of course, Arsenal is not the former Arsenal. If he wins on the weekend, he can at least become the leader of the Premier League for a short time. After the strength of the midfield and front court has increased, Arsenal's chance of losing four consecutive home games is not high. Everyone is more concerned about one question: Can corner kick tactics still work in the European arena?

Manchester City challenged Monaco away and Newcastle challenged San Giros away. Both Premier League teams have great chances to win. Monaco defeated Bruges in the first round, and Ligue 1 just gave up the top spot and won 4 wins in the last five games. It seems that even if it is out of the sluggish Manchester City, it may not be advantageous even at home. After Newcastle lost Isaac, the new season has been unsuccessful. Although San Giros participated in the Champions League for the first time, he defeated Eindhoven in the first round and ranked first with a 6-point advantage in the league. His strength cannot be underestimated. Newcastle and Manchester City really can't be careless, there are no weak teams in the Champions League.

Barcelona's home match against Paris Saint-Germain was the highlight of the second day of the second round of the Champions League. Both sides were the leaders of their respective leagues and successfully scored three-pointers in the first round, which was an absolute strong dialogue. Over the years, the two teams have frequently met in the Champions League, and there are too many stories of big score reversals. In the semi-finals in the first half of last year, Paris was once two goals behind the score, but with one more player, Dembele, Mbappe and Vitinia scored four goals together and successfully reversed. I believe the fans are still vivid in their minds. Paris Saint-Germain, which had 4-1 away games in two consecutive away games, may also give Barcelona the first defeat in the new season.

In the first round of the Champions League, 14 teams all scored three-pointers. Arsenal, Bayern Munich, Tottenham, and even Real Madrid all encountered weak teams in the second round. If they could continue to win and get more goal difference, they would have the chance to top the standings. According to the situation last season, the teams that have obtained the right to qualify will only lose three games at most. The 14 teams that lost in the first round, such as Naples, Chelsea, and Atletico Madrid, do not have much room for defeat.
