Group G, like Big who provide.
Two years after surprising Manchester United, Young Boys intended to repeat a similar feat against the other Manchester, City. But the European champion was two or three notches above and if he waited until the second half to realize his domination, it was in particular because of the great performance of Anthony Racioppi, authors of nine saves, sometimes confusing, sometimes exceptional. It is also on yet another reflex parade that Manuel Akanji plays the surface fox and resolves the situation (0-1, 48e). Meschack Elia’s express reduction on a splendid lob (1-1, 52e) do not slow down the momentum of Skyblues who made the difference a quarter of an hour later on a penalty converted by Erling Haaland (1-2, 67e). The Norwegian even scores a double, after a goal denied to Julian Álvarez for a handball from Jack Grealish at the start of the action, with a mine in the top corner at the end of the match (1-3, 86e). Nine out of nine, Manchester City unfolds without forcing.
A shared feeling for RB Leipzig, who inflicted the same sanction on Red Star Belgrade this Wednesday evening. Perfectly launched by the left foot of David Raum (1-0, 12e)Loïs Openda and her teammates mastered this very open encounter (43 shots in total, 27 for Leipzig) and made the break at the hour mark on a new gem from her nugget Xavi Simons, whose clear shot from the right came to clean up the opposing window (2-0, 59e). Despite the reduction in the score of Marko Stamenic, on the lookout for a deflected attempt (2-1, 70e)Leipzig does not tremble and drives home the point, the leather hitting the crossbar following a header from Mohamed Simakan before returning to the feet of Dani Olmo, alone in front of the goals (3-1, 84e). The final thrill caused by Kosta Nedeljković’s strike on Janis Blaswich’s left post will not dampen the enthusiasm of the Red Bull Arena, which sees its players move into second position in Group G (six points) halfway through the match. .
For suspense, come back Thursday with the Europa League and the Europa Conference League.
