Barcelona logró una fortificante victoria por 4-2 en su primer partido de LaLiga en la Era DM (Después de Messi).
Tras la dolorosa salida del astro argentino, por problemas financieros del club, aún es extraño ver una formación blaugrana sin su apellido. De hecho, es primera vez en 18 años que su nombre o su figura está completamente fuera de la película.
Pero bueno, habrá que acostumbrarse, ¿no?
There’s life without Lionel Messi in Barcelona, but if it continues in the same vein as Sunday’s 4-2 win over Real Sociedad, it’s going to be a batshit crazy existence.
Atlético de Madrid inició la defensa de su título en LaLiga con una apretada victoria sobre el Celta de Vigo. El duelo terminó 2-1 en favor de los colchoneros y acabó en medio de una gran trifulca, provocada luego de un pisotón sobre el uruguayo Luis Suárez.
VIGO, Spain - Atlético Madrid began their LaLiga title defense with a 2-1 win away to Celta Vigo on Sunday thanks to two strikes from Argentine forward Ángel Correa although the game ended with a mass brawl and a player from each side was sent off.
Luis Suárez began the game on the bench and Correa took full responsibility for the team's attacking duties, firing Atlético ahead midway through the first half after a marauding run from Thomas Lemar.
Who needs Harry Kane? Well, Tottenham, because on the evidence of Sunday’s 1-0 win over Manchester City new manager Nuno Espírito Santo has already had a transformative effect on the defense. And also City, because on Sunday's evidence they desperately need a striker.
With Kane left out of the squad entirely due to his very public dalliances with City, Spurs produced an electric performance from front to back with Japhet Tanganga going toe-to-toe with Jack Grealish, Pierre-Emile Højbjerg flying into tackles and Lucas Moura always excellent in possession.
El arco finalmente se le abrió a Rogelio Funes Mori.
Después de cuatro meses sin poder anotar con la playera del Monterrey, el Mellizo convirtió un doblete en la victoria por 3-1 sobre Pachuca. Los goles, por cierto, no fueron rutinarios, sino que ayudaron al delantero a dejar atrás al chileno Humberto Suazo y convertirse en el goleador histórico de Rayados.
Welcome back, Premier League.
After a Saturday highlighted by Manchester United’s 5-1 beatdown of Leeds and Everton’s 3-1 second half comeback win over Southampton (and Christian Pulisic's goal), Sunday produced an instant classic between Newcastle United and West Ham at St. James’ Park.
PARIS — Lionel Messi watched on from the stands as Paris Saint-Germain made hard work of beating Strasbourg 4-2 in Ligue 1 on Saturday to continue their winning start to the new season.
Not yet fully fit, Messi, along with Neymar and fellow new recruits Gianluigi Donnarumma and Sergio Ramos, did not make the match squad, but saw his new club take an early lead through Mauro Icardi at Parc des Princes.

Borussia Dortmund is thanking its lucky stars that Erling Haaland didn’t leave the club this summer as the Norwegian God did unspeakable things to Frankfurt during a 5-2 victory on Saturday.
Haaland was involved in all five of Dortmund’s goals bagging a brace and having a hat trick of assists.
The 21-year-old set up Marco Reus for the first goal after dribbling the ball down nearly half of and slipping it through to the Dortmund veteran.
Leicester derrotó por 1-0 al Wolverhampton, en la primera jornada de la Premier League 2021-22.
El resultado, sin embargo, poco importa. Lo más relevante del encuentro fue el retorno de Raúl Jiménez al fútbol competitivo, después de nueve meses de pesadilla.
El atacante mexicano sufrió una fractura de cráneo que bien pudo costarle la vida, a fines de noviembre de 2020, luego de un choque de cabezas con David Luiz, entonces defensa del Arsenal.
