In the second week of the Champions League group stage, Galatasaray made a bitter night for the English with a defeat to Liverpool, Chelsea barely overcame Benfica and Bayern Munich had a high-scoring performance in Cyprus.

Afghan Voice Agency (AVA): In the most important match of the night, Turkish side Galatasaray defeated Liverpool 1-0 at the Rams Park stadium in Istanbul. Victor Osimhen scored the only goal of the match in the 16th minute from the penalty spot. Despite having more possession of the ball and creating several chances, the Reds at Anfield ultimately failed and left the field empty-handed.

This is Liverpool's second consecutive defeat in a week; Arne Schlott's team also lost to Crystal Palace in the Premier League a few days ago. These results have increased the concerns of fans and club management.

In London, Chelsea hosted Benfica at Stamford Bridge. The match, which was of particular importance to the Portuguese team under José Mourinho, ended 1–0 in favour of the Blues. The only goal of the match came in the 18th minute after a mistake by Richard Rios and an own goal. Benfica's attacking pressure was ineffective until the end of the game, and the resistance of the Chelsea defenders, combined with the brilliance of the goalkeeper, did not allow the result to change. João Pedro was sent off in the 90th + 6th minute, leaving Chelsea with ten men.

In Cyprus, Bayern Munich beat Paphos 5–1 with an attacking display. Harry Kane scored twice in the 15th (penalty) and 34th minutes, while Rafael Guerreiro (20) and Nicholas Jackson (31) also made it four goals. Paphos managed to score only once through Mislav Oršić in the 45th minute, but Michael Ulisse made it 5–1 in the 69th minute and the Bavarians' goal celebration was complete.

The Guardian newspaper reports that Liverpool's management are concerned about recent poor results and that pressure on the manager will increase if the failure continues.

With the win, Bayern Munich topped their group and Harry Kane became the top scorer in the Champions League with four goals in two games.

European football experts have described Chelsea's performance as "lucky" and believe that the team has not yet achieved stability in terms of attack.

According to sports observers, Bayern Munich is one of the main contenders for the European championship with its stunning offensive power. Studies show that Liverpool are facing a goalscoring crisis in the attacking phase and this could threaten Arne Schlott's position. According to insiders, despite their victory against Benfica, Chelsea still needs time and tactical changes to become a competitive team on the continent.
