Analysis of Match Day One Performances

I think we got a lot of goals, more goals than we, we saw yesterday.

Um, I think, I mean, the standout performance is Lyon winning

8-nil. Um, and then in this, these two later matches,

Barcelona getting the job done. Yes, we have a lot of questions about them

defensively. They do have, I'd say, two clear vulner-

vulnerabilities defensively. We're gonna look at those.

Um, but what they create in the final third,

I don't think there's a team

that's, that's as good as Barcelona in how they

create and the

different ways that they can score.

So I think Barcelona goes home happy today with the three points.

Mm-hmm.

I think Lyon are up there-

Mm

... in, in terms of attacking.

8-nil.

I think there's... It's clear to me that going into this match day one,

there are two teams in this league that are-

I was gonna say, yeah

... incredibly

great attacking. You have strong forwards, midfield players, depth

across As- Lyon. Okay, straightforward match day one for

them. And Barcelona, there's questions.

What I love about Barcelona, there, there are questions, and Lyon looked

so solid from, from start to finish.

So that's my clear learning from, from match day one.

We've got two front runners here that are, are quite far a- ahead of a

lot of other teams from an attacking standpoint.

And, and the rest has been relatively

competitive-

Mm

... or very, very competitive. Much smaller figures

when it comes to goals, so

awesome. There's been plenty of goals. It's been amazing to watch.

But for me, there are two teams, Barcelona and Lyon, that

are by far the best

attacking threats.

Mm-hmm. Kelly, what do you make of the English sides in

match day one?

'Cause I mean, Arsenal and Chelsea got the wins,

but Manchester City got a draw.

Yeah, I think, like these two said, it's clear that there are two

teams in this competition that are the

two best teams right out of the gate. Will they remain the two best teams?

I don't know, because I've got Bayern winning, but,

you know- We'll find out

eventually.

You had to throw that in there.

Well, I had to. But I think-
