Shakhtar hands Real Madrid stunning Champions League loss

Champions League Matchday 1 is officially in the books. We had eight more matches to take in yesterday and that slate brought some pretty surprising results. Let’s jump straight into a few of the day’s bigger takeaways below, and you can check out highlights from all of the action here.

• Shakhtar shocks Real Madrid: In the most stunning scoreline of the day, Shakhtar pulled off a 3-2 win over Real Madrid in their UCL opener despite the roster being hit hard by coronavirus. The Ukranian club jumped out to a 3-0 advantage before very nearly blowing that lead, but they held on to beat one of the best teams in the tournament and put the rest of the field on notice. With speedy counters and solid defense, this success could be sustainable
• Bayern poised to repeat: It was a really strong debut for Bayern Munich and… is anyone really surprised? They’ve been the most dominant team in the world this year and they look poised to repeat as Champions League title-winners. They crushed Atletico Madrid 4-0 on Wednesday and didn’t even get any goals from their biggest names.
