Champions League 2021/22 | Group C

Finally a chance to see Europe's top strikers, duel between Haaland and Cyle Larin, who will score more.

Two Canadians for Bestikas, Hutchunson is actually team captain.

Haaland wins the duel vs Cyle with an easy goal, set up by Bellingham, who scored the other in a mostly comfortable 2-1 win for BVB in Turkei.

Haaland had a quiet night, mostly drawing fouls outside the box. Belingham was good, I thought Malen worked hard as well. Besikts started well for about 20 minutes but BVB became better the longer the game went on, at least until the 93 min when Besiktas scored their goal. But an away win in Turkei is always a good start.

disappointed in the Kanadians performance, Dortmund are the worst team defensively in the league, meanwhile the tv guy said Besiktas had not allowed a goal yet this season

I imagine Haaland is pretty keen to get on the scoresheet, now that he's returned from his muscle injury.

What a disaster of a start for Dortmund

0 chances created in 40 minutes, 2 goals conceded in the first half. Another one conceded in the second half. Probably a good time to call this a comfortable, largely dominant, Ajax win.
