What a night in UCL Round 2! Galatasaray stunned Liverpool in Istanbul, thanks to Victor Osimhen's penalty in the 16th minute. Alisson Becker came off injured, and a late spot-kick for the Reds was overturned by VAR. Subs Mo Salah and Alexander Isak couldn't turn the tide.
Over at Stamford Bridge, Chelsea snapped back with a 1-0 win over Benfica and former boss Jose Mourinho. Alejandro Garnacho's cross deflected off Richard Rios for an own goal in the 18th minute. Even Joao Pedro's stoppage-time red card couldn't spoil Enzo Maresca's joy.
Spurs showed heart in Norway, fighting back to draw 1-1 with Bodo/Glimt. And in Kazakhstan, Real Madrid star Mbappe lit it up with a hat-trick at an exhibition match (yes, you read that right!).
Meanwhile, European powerhouses Bayern Munich, Atletico Madrid, Marseille and Inter Milan flexed muscles with big wins. The group stage is on fire—who'll rise next? 🔥⚽
Stay tuned for more UCL drama! 🚀
