This approach of focusing on scoring goals rather than defending was exemplified by several teams, including Arsenal, who defeated Atletico Madrid 4-0. The Gunners made light work of traditionally difficult Champions League opponents and continued their perfect start to the league phase.

Arsenal's attacking players had been due for a big performance, and Viktor Gyokeres' two goals in the match were a welcome contribution. The team's all-around attacking display showed that they are not just a defensive side, but also a team that can score goals in abundance.

PSV was another team that exceeded expectations, coming from behind to win 6-2 against Napoli. The Dutch side has a history of performing well in the Champions League and may be a team to watch in the future.

In another highlight of the matchday, 17-year-old Lennart Karl made his Champions League debut for Bayern Munich and scored a stunning solo goal in just five minutes. His performance was a promising sign for the young player's future in the sport.
