Champions League Round 3 Day 1 Highlights: High-Scoring Matches, Serie A Defending Champions Humiliated, Premier League Teams All Win

All nine matches on the opening day of the Champions League group stage Round 3 have finished, with leading clubs beginning their "rampage." Serie A defending champions Napoli were heavily beaten by a Dutch side, losing face completely, while all three English Premier League teams won their games.

• Barcelona 6-1 Olympiacos: Fermin completed a hat-trick, Rashford scored twice, and Barcelona will enter the weekend’s national derby in excellent shape.
• Kairat 0-0 Pafos: Two weak teams met, both playing lackluster football, attracting little attention.
• Arsenal 4-0 Atletico Madrid: The Premier League leaders showed their strength with a powerful attack and solid defense. Yorke scored twice, while Gabriel and Martinelli also found the net.
• Leverkusen 2-7 Paris Saint-Germain: Both teams had a player sent off. Due doubled his goals, while Dembélé, Kvaratskhelia, Mendes, Vitinha, and Paquetá also scored. With a full-strength squad, Paris delivered an impressive offensive display.
• Villarreal 0-2 Manchester City: Haaland scored, B. Silva added another goal. Haaland has now scored in 12 consecutive matches, showing great form. Manchester City rotated their squad but still secured all three points away with minimal effort.
• PSV Eindhoven 6-2 Napoli: McTominay scored twice but couldn’t save his team. Luca was sent off. Conte’s performance in Europe shows his inexperience; the Serie A defending champions lost all their pride.
• Copenhagen 2-4 Borussia Dortmund: Emre Can scored twice, Bensebaini converted a penalty. The Yellow and Blacks continue their dominant and steady performance in the Champions League.
• San Lorenzo 0-4 Inter Milan: Lautaro scored and missed a one-on-one chance, Pio provided a goal and assist but also missed an open goal. The Nerazzurri used this match to sharpen their skills against weaker opponents; had they been more clinical, it could have been a disaster for San Lorenzo.
• Newcastle 3-0 Benfica: Mourinho has lost his touch and is now seen as a failure, with his exit fee looming. Barnes scored twice, Gordon added another goal, and Newcastle handed Benfica their third consecutive Champions League defeat.
