Bayern Munich is mighty while Real Madrid is defeated in the inaugural week of the Champions League
The continued match for the first week of the 2020-2021 Champions League, Wednesday (10/22/2020), is a nightmare for Real Madrid. The club nicknamed Los Blancos were defeated 2-3 when hosting representatives of Ukraine, Shakhtar Donetsk, at the Alfredo Di Stefano Stadium. Real Madrid as the home team have conceded three goals in the first half. Shakhtar Donetsk goals which then led them to victory were born from the action of Tete (29 '), an own goal from Raphael Varane (33') and a strike from Manor Salomon (42 '). The pair of Real Madrid goals were scored by Luka Modric (54 ') and Vinicius Junior (59').
This result is somewhat surprising, because Real Madrid actually has the status of a superior team in the Champions League title. They appear on the Champions League stage this season as LaLiga champions for the 2019-2020 season. For Real Madrid, this defeat was a black stain in the history of their appearance on the Champions League stage. Launching Opta Jose, Real Madrid were defeated for the first time in the opening match of the most prestigious club competition in the European continent.
Another excellent team felt different fate, Bayern Munich. When Real Madrid suffered defeat, Bayern Munich won a landslide victory over representatives of Spain, Atletico Madrid. The Bayern vs Atletico Madrid match which was held at the Allianz Arena on Thursday (22/10/2020) in the morning WIB ended with a score of 4-0 for the home team's victory. French winger, Kingsley Coman, became the actor of Bayern's victory through his two goals in the 28th and 72nd minutes. The other two goals were scored by Leon Goretzka (41 ') and Corentin Tolisso (66').
This result confirms the mentality of the Bayern Munich champions, who last season won the Champions League trophy. The reason is, Atletico Madrid is not an easy team to beat. They are one of the respected teams in the Spanish League. The club nicknamed Los Rojiblancos has never been out of the top five of the Spanish League standings in the last five seasons.
