Real or non-real, not a lot of action going on: 40 minutes in the first batch of matches, only one goal so far (Shakhtar over Rennes)

Salzburg with a late go-ahead goal over Roma.
In a way, this is a decisively worse iteration of Salzburg than in recent years, since there's
much less offensive talent on display than before (no more Haaland, Adeyemi, Daka, Szoboszlai,
Aaronson,...). Fernando is still recovering from injury, and Okafor is not as good as he thinks
he is. They got eliminated in the quarterfinals of the Austrian Cup for the first time since 2010
(yay!), and haven't run away with the league (yet).
But in contrast, they have become defensively more stable than any previous incarnation.
Pavlović/Solet is probably the best centre-back pairing they've ever had, and Köhn is slowly
developing into an excellent goalkeeper, something they've always been lacking.
Yesterday they basically out-mourinhoed Mourinho, and that's always fun to see.
Ciao,
Werner

Second batch of matches:
Juve - Nantes 1-1
Second match this season with the Chiesa-Di Maria-Vlahovic trio, and they combined for the first goal. Then Juve sat back
(as you'd expect under Allegri), only to gift Nantes the equalizer on a counterattack after an errant pass by Fagioli in the last
25 meters. Juve attempted a furious comeback, hit the woodwork three times (twice with Chiesa on the same shot: crossbar,
on the goal-line but just inches out, then on the post), and finally was robbed by the referee in the 95th minute when he
overruled a perfectly legit call by the VAR to award a penalty. Not our lucky year.
Leverkusen - Monaco 2-3
This one had one hilarious goalkeeper own goal and four golazos, two of them coming in the final 10 minutes to put Monaco
back in front after they were 2-1 down (and after they were 1-0 up)
Sevilla - PSG 3-0
It's the Europa League, so Sevilla become Brazil 1970.

PS: Pavlović collected a yellow that rules him out for the return leg though, so that's going to
be a very tough task.
