Last week, an American seldom known by even the most astute USMNT fans made his debut in the UEFA Champions League. Josh Cohen played all 90 minutes between the posts for Israeli side Maccabi Haifa during the club's 2-0 defeat to Benfica.
MUNICH - Barcelona coach Xavi Hernández laughed off the notion that playing at Bayern Munich is like visiting the "house of horrors" ahead of Tuesday's mouthwatering Champions League Group C clash.
They met in last season's group stage, with the Germans twice winning 3-0, although Barça are now a very different side and spearheaded by striker Robert Lewandowski, who moved to the Nou Camp from the Bavarians in the close season.
Scottish side Rangers' home Champions League game against Napoli on Tuesday has been postponed by a day due to a lack of adequate security personnel following the death of Queen Elizabeth, UEFA said on Sunday.
The Queen died aged 96 on Thursday, which led to a raft of postponements across different sports in Britain over the weekend, including Premier League and English Football League (EFL) games.
Bayern Munich has been one of the most consistent and dominant teams in the 21st century.
Aside from their record-breaking dominance in the Bundesliga, the six-time European champions have a UEFA Champions League record that will probably be impossible to match.
Bayern Munich’s 2-0 away win against Inter Milan in the first match day of 2022-23 European campaign extended the German’s winning streak in the opening game of the tournament to 19.
The new "semi-automated offside technology" that's going to be used at the 2022 World Cup made its Champions League debut this week, and guess what, controversy and existential questions regarding humankind's dwindling agency in its own game — at the hands of the robots! — reigned supreme.
After a long summer, Europe’s premier club competition is back and did not disappoint. From Lisbon to Amsterdam, some fantastic goals were scored in the opening week of the Champions League, so let's take a look at the top five.
Napoli dio una de las grandes sorpresas en la primera semana de la Champions League. No porque le ganó a Liverpool, sino por la forma en que despedazó al equipo dirigido por Jürgen Klopp, con un 4-1 que será difícil de olvidar.
Los aficionados del conjunto italiano celebraron con júbilo y razón la victoria, pero curiosamente hubo varios que hicieron una pausa a los festejos para continuar su campaña de hate hacia uno de los suyos: el mexicano Hirving Lozano.
NAPLES, Italy — Jürgen Klopp said he needs to "reinvent" his Liverpool team after they suffered a 4-1 hammering at the hands of Napoli in their Champions League Group A opener on Wednesday.
Klopp's side were outplayed in the first half and fortunate to only go in 3-0 down at the break and the German, who won the competition with Liverpool in 2019 and led them to the final last season, said there was plenty to be fixed.
Chelsea parted ways with its UEFA Champions League winning manager Thomas Tuchel on Wednesday shocking just about everybody. A slow start to the season coupled with a disastrous loss to Croatian club Dinamo Zagreb in the Champions League opener was enough for Tuchel to get the axe.
No es secreto que Edson Álvarez quedó desilusionado luego de su frustrado traspaso al Chelsea. Sin embargo, una vez cerrada la puerta de la Premier League, Machín prometió que volvería a concentrarse en los objetivos que tiene el Ajax para esta temporada, dando lo mejor de sí dentro del campo.
