match Borussia against Barcelona 0-0, I was also surprised, I was waiting for a very productive game.
as for the defeat of Liverpool from Napoli, this is not surprising, and they lost to them last year. and in general Liverpool was lucky to leave the group. you probably just forgot.

Yes, last year, Liverpool lost, but still left the group and won that rally. as Anceloti Klopp said, don’t worry if you lose in Naples then you win the tournament

There is a good chance that the winner of this Champions league is going to be some team which hasnt won it before. To this point none of the big names presented a champions league winner football. I would agree if someone told me that it is too soon, but those teams had a lot of time to prepare for those games. They are far below the threshold for a winning team. My criticism does not extend to Borrusia and Psg, those were the only teams which were above what most would expect from them.

Russian clubs had a great start in the Champions League, nothing won away. The Locomotive was pleasantly surprised not at the optimal victory, and the teams would gain shape during the tournament. Congratulate all the fans with the first step.

You accurately noted the Russian team, they showed the results they need. Now we need stability, and the Russians are no different. Today they can win, and tomorrow they can lose everything else. So, let's wait and see what happens with the Russians

Lokomotiv surely gains shape during the next games cause they'd be lucky to even get 2p from next 5 matches - that's what happens with russian teams - they're going to playing under expectations

there are no exaggerated expectations from Lokomotiv, it will be good for them to take 3rd place in this group, above Bayer. and they took an important step.
but who really can surprise is Dynamo Zagreb. but this is only the result of the first round.

A bit about the match PSG Real
How bad was Madrid
“Paris” was better in all significant categories. But, perhaps, best of all, the degree of failure of Real Madrid reflects a simple fact: having missed a quick goal, they could not even squeeze an opponent. Usually in a game of equal rivals, this goes without saying. And further on, we either scold the team for lack of points, or we praise for a good game in attack.
Here is a territorial ownership map. Firstly, Real Madrid did not pick up the ball after a missed goal. Secondly, whoever owned the ball, he was always far from the gates of “Paris”
In the possession of the “Real” had terrible problems with the promotion. Only 22% of their passes were sent to someone else's third (did not pass, but were sent specifically). All of the above is megaproval for a team that missed early.
Result: 7: 4 in favor of PSG on shots from the penalty area, 3: 1 on obvious moments, 5: 0 on shots on target. Territory, possession, pungency - in all the “PSG” was noticeably better. Real Madrid had no real chance to cling to the result
Pressure is the main trouble
The lack of high pressure is the main reason why Madrid did not take possession of the ball and did not press the opponent when it was needed. “Paris” finished the match with a 90% accuracy - at Tiago Silva and Presnel Kimbembe it reached 96%. The pressure of Real was so insignificant that, if necessary, they could roll the ball without errors the whole match (fortunately, PSG have ideas in attack - and the game did not come down to this).
Result: either lack of pressure, or pressure completely safe for PSG. None of the top clubs can not afford to pressure so miserable. This is not a question of the coach’s style or preferences: minimal pressure control is necessary, otherwise yesterday’s scenario will be repeated. No one forces pressure to do plan A, but generally it is impossible without him.
Previously, Real Madrid Zidane was a flexible team in terms of pressure. In the second season, he had attempts to pressure very high, but gradually he refused completely aggressive pressure (probably because it was not completely compatible with Cristiano Ronaldo). But some powerful press performances did happen anyway. An important point: always Luca Modric played a key role in them. In his face, Zizu will receive an important option. But the problem is wider

Expensive transfers of this summer have not yet manifested themselves .. And football is moving to the level where teamwork and understanding of the requirements and tactics of the coach are very important!

Real have never known how to defend properly
It probably don't happen (sadly) but perhaps for them it's actually useful to drop to Europa League lol so they'd have legit chance of winning brand new trophy ...

Tomorrow Moscow Lokomotiv goes to Turin with difficulty even believe in anything, Juventus will score my prediction in both halves, but Petersburg Zenit unnecessarily underestimated the bookmakers, I think they certainly won’t lose RP Leipzig
