During the second day of the UEFA Champions League tournament, there was both a sensation and a particularly unpleasant incident recorded. The teams playing at home secured 3 victories, while the same number of wins was achieved by the away teams, with 2 matches ending in a draw.
In the first place of Group A, "Liverpool" immediately emerged victorious, beating last year's finalist "Monaco" at home by two goals difference. The other group match between "Deportivo" and "Olympiacos" ended without goals.
The biggest surprises happened in Group B: Leverkuzen's "Bayer" sensationally crushed the star-studded Madrid "Real", and due to an injured referee, the match between "Roma" and "Dinamo" was interrupted, so the Ukrainians managed to win with just one goal scored in the first half.
In Group C, both favorites - "Juventus" and "Bayern" - secured equal victories on the road against "Ajax" and "Maccabi" respectively. In Group D, "Fenerbahce" defeated the "Sparta" team, while the injury-plagued "Man Utd" managed to snatch a point in their match against "Lyon".
