Headline: Real Madrid Maintain Perfect UCL Record, Liverpool Bounce Back, and Osimhen Shines
Madrid, Spain – Real Madrid secured a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Juventus at the Santiago Bernabeu on Wednesday, maintaining their perfect Champions League record this season. Jude Bellingham scored the decisive goal in the 58th minute, capitalizing on a rebound after a brilliant run and shot from Vinicius Jr. Juventus, despite an improved performance and several saves forced from Real Madrid keeper Thibaut Courtois, remain winless in seven matches across all competitions.
Meanwhile, Liverpool responded emphatically to a recent slump with a dominant 5-1 win away at Eintracht Frankfurt. After conceding an early goal, Liverpool leveled through Hugo Ekitike, who showed respect to his former club by refraining from celebration. Quickfire headers from Virgil Van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate gave the Reds a comfortable halftime lead, followed by further goals from Cody Gakpo and Dominik Szoboszlai.
Elsewhere, Victor Osimhen continued his prolific form in Europe, scoring twice in Galatasaray’s 3-1 victory over Bodo/Glimt. His two goals bring his European scoring streak to seven games.
In other Champions League action, Chelsea recorded a 5-1 victory over Ajax, Bayern Munich cruised to a 4-0 win against Club Brugge, and Athletic Bilbao fought back from a goal down to beat Qarabag 3-1, with a stunning goal from substitute Roberto Navarro sealing the victory. Qarabag took an early lead through Leandro Andrade, but Gorka Guruzeta was the hero with two goals in Athletic Bilbao’s victory.
