Description

Arsenal returned to winning ways with a 2-0 victory over Benfica, thanks to goals from Beth Mead and Alessia Russo, helping last year’s champions recover from a shaky start in the revamped Champions League group phase. Manchester United continued their perfect run, clinching a narrow 1-0 win against Atlético Madrid despite playing much of the match with ten after defender Dominique Janssen was sent off; Fridolina Rolfö made the decisive impact with her first goal for United since her summer move, and United remain the only team yet to concede in the league phase. Real Madrid posted a historic 2-1 win over Paris Saint-Germain, marking their second straight group victory and handing PSG a fourth consecutive loss, with Alba Redondo again getting on the scoresheet, boosting her top scorer credentials.Chelsea were dominant in their European outing, dispatching Paris FC 4-0, with Sam Kerr netting the fourth after coming on as a substitute. Barcelona, meanwhile, cruised to a 4-0 away win over Roma, with Caroline Graham Hansen capping off a multi-scorer performance at the final whistle. Elsewhere, Wolfsburg needed a late penalty in stoppage time to edge Vålerenga 2-1, while OH Leuven made headlines by coming from behind to win 2-1 against Twente, a historic high for the Belgian club.Looking ahead, key fixtures next week will see Bayern Munich square off with Arsenal, Manchester United test their unbeaten record against Paris Saint-Germain, and Barcelona face OH Leuven. In the Premier League, Leeds United and Burnley face crucial matches in their fight against relegation, while West Ham desperately seek their first home win under new head coach Nuno Espirito Santo to halt a long winless streak.Among star players, Real Madrid’s Kylian Mbappe sits atop current Ballon d’Or power rankings, closely followed by Erling Haaland and Harry Kane, with Vinicius Junior and Barcelona’s Raphinha, recovering from injury, also making headlines. Despite Bukayo Saka’s limited minutes due to injury, Arsenal’s strong form could see him become the first English Ballon d’Or winner in a generation if the Gunners claim European or domestic silverware.Finally, controversies and off-field drama remain minimal at the moment, allowing the focus to stay on the football and some thrilling, high-stakes encounters in both Europe and domestic leagues.
