The first full day of the Eurofútbol club after the break for national team matches was brilliant. Below are their most interesting results.
Bayern finally resigns as champion
Munich have not lost to Dortmund at home since April 2017, when they met in the German Cup semi-finals. Then the champions were coached by Carlo Ancelotti, under his direction Xabi Alonso played and goals from Aubameyang and Dembélé (2-3). The “bees” had to wait seven years to achieve a new victory, and today they achieved it. Bayern was more successful at times, but did not score anything. But Borussia took advantage of two chances: Adeyemi (10th minute) and Ruerson (83rd minute) put their names on the scoreboard. Bayer can be congratulated for the championship because…
Even the fans couldn’t stand it:
The fans abandoned Bayern after the failure with Dortmund. There is little left for the Bayer title
Bayer once again made a brilliant comeback
How do they do that?! You may have heard something similar about Bayer this season too often. In the last minutes, Leverkusen achieved victory over Bayern, Augsburg, Leipzig, Stuttgart and three times Qarabag. Now Hoffenheim is on this list. Xabi Alonso’s team took 34 shots at the rival goal, scoring 2.97 xG in terms of expected goals. As if the statistics were collected by the marketers of some store.
But until the 88th minute the score was in Hoffenheim’s favor. By the way, Bayer scored. Maximiliano Bayer. Until Andrich and Schick got involved. Now, to guarantee a salad bowl, it is necessary to win three times in the remaining seven games. And the unbeaten streak is already 39 games, which clearly suggests a positive result. Even Thomas Tuchel admits Bayern’s defeat.

Golovin helped Monaco achieve defeat
The Monegasques threw five goals at the penultimate champion team, Metz, and only conceded two. Golovin also scored a goal, with a beautiful and effective cross for Wanderson when the score was 0:2 in the 16th minute. It was then that the result of the match became almost certain. Sasha already has 6+6 in terms of “goal+ass” in the current Ligue 1. Only Mbappé (29, who would have thought), as well as Aubameyang (18), David (17) and Lacazette (13) are ahead . of the. Well, in terms of assists, there is a chance to become the best in France: Aubameyang and Dembélé have seven each. If only the partners would implement Russian transfers.
More details about the match:
Golovin scored a magical assist! Now only PSG is above Monaco in the table
Miranchuk is the hero of the match against Napoli
The first half was enough for Alexey to give the still Italian champion a goal and an assist for Scamacca. He was nonsense, but he even played the entire game, something that had not happened since January 7. The Russian is the best in the Club in terms of goals + passes in 2024 (3+7). What else does he need to do to show Gasperini the need for him? This was definitely Miranchuk’s best match of the season, where his team eliminated its eminent opponent feet first. Now the Bergamascos can well cling to the Champions League zone: Roma is only one point ahead and Bologna, fourth placed, four.
This is how it went:
Miranchuk played the best game of the season against the Italian champion! And he returned Atalanta to the race for the Champions League
Milan has achieved a notable advantage over Juventus
Fiorentina and Milan scored the three goals of the match in the most compact way possible: from the 47th to the 53rd minute. Luckily for the red and black, they scored two of them. Leau became the main hero: at first, his backheel pass to Loftus-Cheek could not be intercepted by the sliding Milenkovic, and a little later he scored himself and put the team ahead.

Juventus played against the Milanese and missed the only goal in the match with Lazio in the 90th minute + 3. Now Milan and Juve are separated by six points. The Turin team has been fighting for leadership with Inter for a long time and is now losing second place.
PSV ruined the super series without losing
In Holland, the intrigue for the championship is the same as is usual in France. That was until PSV unexpectedly lost to NEK, taking the lead during the match with a goal from Bakayoko (Joana, not Tiemoue, the one from Lorient). The Nijmegen boys responded with a triple and broke the Eindhoven team’s unbeaten streak of 42 games. Although De Jong could have regained the intrigue, he missed the penalty in the 81st minute. If Feyenoord beat Utrecht on Sunday, their gap will be reduced to seven points. The chance of jumping to first place is small, but now at least there is one.

Ronaldo got very nervous
The legendary Portuguese has only three games in this Saudi Arabian championship, when he left the field without scoring. Now Al-Tai with the former Tula Arsenal player, Robert Bauer, suffered at his feet. Already in the 36th minute the rival was in the minority due to the two yellow cards of Misidyan, who had previously equalized the score. Al-Nasr took on the red color like a bull in a bullfight and scored a rout (4:1). Ronaldo scored a double in three minutes (65 and 67), and then scored a third. What can I say? Yeah! Krish has 26 goals in the league. The closest pursuer is Mitrovic (20).

However, Al-Hilal will remain champions; His lead is too big (12 points). And 30 games won in a row, which is a world record. Now Malcolm and company beat Al Shabab (4-3), although in the end they lost twice.
Newcastle turned 1-3 into 4-3 in 13 minutes
In the match against West Ham, Isak opened the scoring with a penalty in the 6th minute. And in the 48th minute, the Hammers were ahead by two goals: Antonio, Kudus and Bowen showed their best version. Everything was clear with the result until the 77th minute, when the Magpies woke up: Isak scored a double from the penalty spot and Barnes scored a double for the enemy before the start of extra time. This was beautiful. We recommend that you pay attention to their next match, because in the last three teams they scored 17 goals between them.

Chelsea – as always
Good news for London fans: Palmer scored a brace against Burnley and became the youngest player in the club’s history to score more than 20 goals in a Premier League season (13+8). The bad thing: his favorites were once again much clearer than their opponents and they were left without the victory. From the 40th minute onwards, Chelsea was the majority, thanks to Assignon for two yellow cards. Since 78 he was leading the scoreboard. And then we missed from O’Shea’s corner. In terms of xG, the difference is significant: 4.11 versus 1.68. But it’s not there in terms of goals (2:2).

Manchester United wild show
Viewers of the match between Manchester United and Brentford may not even understand where the favorite is among the best players. The “bees”, naturally, beat the Mancunians, but still could not score. 3.11 xG vs 0.58: what do you think of this difference? In the 90+6 minute, Rashford punished the rival for carelessness and ineffectiveness. That’s all? No! A couple of minutes later, Tawney took advantage of a wild hole in the Manchester defense and prevented the famous guests from taking the three points. The match was the most dramatic in terms of drama.
We are not exaggerating:
Manchester United suddenly opened the scoring after 95 minutes of suffering. But it wasn’t the end yet
Other interesting results of the day:
Barcelona – Las Palmas (1-0); Sheffield United – Fulham (3-3); Tottenham – Luton Town (2-1).
There was also a standout moment:
We have never seen anything like this in the big leagues.
