Our Champions League Awards honor the best – and the worst – of the MatchDay two action, with a shock Liverpool defeat, the unstoppable Michael Olise and Kevin De Bruyne roll the clock back.
Champions League Awards:
Moment of the week
Galatasaray Did one of the disturbances of the competition gave Liverpool a 1-0 defeat in Istanbul, the city that hosted 20 years ago for their most famous triumph.
After Victor Osimhen had converted a penalty in the first half, the Turkish outfit did everything in their power to see the victory, including the use of the dark arts. Arne Slot complained about their waste of time and pending injury, as well as VAR for destroying a late fine. But you have to do what you have to do to get the three points.
The Gala Social Media manager used the result as an opportunity to insert the knife and post “Your only miracle in Istanbul remains 2005”, and this brutal little count:

We approve it.
Player of the week
It was another striking display of Michael Olise This week, while Bayern Munich Pafos FC 5-1 removed. Misav Orsic may have scored the best goal of the match for the hosts, but it was Olise who dominated the game with his skills and quality.
The former star Crystal Palace slid the ball to Harry Kane for the opener. He then shook his marker with his footwork before offering the assist for the first goal from Nicolas Jackson for the club.
Not satisfied with his plot, Olise benefited on a loose ball to shoot in its own goal for the fifth of the night on his part.
Michael Olise comes in the act for Bayern to make five 💪

The 23-year-old and Kane and have now combined in four of their eight games. Call me a more iconic duo.
Purpose of the week
Bodo/Glimt almost got away with their very first victory over an English team in the European competition on Tuesday, but had to settle for a draw with Tottenham Hotspur.
The Norwegian side was two goals for good thanks to a brace of Jens Petter Heugewhose second goal was an absolute peach.
The former AC Milan player left Pedro Porro flat before he had woosed the ball through the legs of Kevin Danso and along a helpless Guglielmo Vicario. Fantastic.
Huuge has done it again to double the lead of Bødo/Glimt about Tottenham ⚡️
