Throughout the match, Barcelona held 57% possession. Both teams had 12 shots each, with Rayo Vallecano registering 6 on target compared to Barcelona's 3, making Barcelona’s away point a fortunate result.

Inter Milan dominated possession with 68% and took 16 shots, 6 more than Udinese, but only had 4 on target, one fewer than their opponents.

In the Premier League's third round, Liverpool defeated Arsenal 1-0 to secure their third consecutive league win.In this match,Szoboszlai scored a stunning free-kick goal to clinch the victory, while Aze made his Arsenal debut off the bench! Liverpool held 53% possession with 9 shots, 3 on target; Arsenal had 11 shots but only 1 on target. The teams were evenly matched, but Liverpool’s free-kick proved decisive. Szoboszlai impressed with both skill and impact.

In the Premier League's third round, Brighton came from behind to beat Manchester City 2-1.In this game,Haaland missed a one-on-one chance but later scored, Malmoush provided an assist, Bob missed a good opportunity, Nunes conceded a penalty, Milner scored, and Gruda netted the winner! Manchester City held 63% possession, with both teams taking 12 shots each. However, City only had 3 on target compared to Brighton’s 7. Guardiola’s team lost not due to counter-attacks but because of Brighton’s intense pressing. Despite an early lead, City couldn’t withstand Brighton’s high press. City’s defense lacked composure in building play; Trafford repeatedly launched long balls to start attacks, and Haaland’s inability to hold up the ball or lay it off with headers contributed to City being dominated in the second half. Guardiola seemed helpless, and a coaching change might be considered as signs of his inability grow. Additionally, Husainov, Bob, and Nunes lack the quality to be starters in a top Premier League team.
