The Champions League is an entirely distinct competition to all. It is the one of the glamour, the one of the prestige, the most demanding. That that all want to play -and win-. And the edition 17-18 has begun really well, with attractive teams and some that another surprise. After having contested three days already can extract the first impressions.
We begin by the FC Barcelona, that is leader of the Group D with three victories in three parties. 9 points, 7 goals in favour and 1 against. The ones of Valverde carburan and will play , surely, the first square of group in Turín in front of the Juventus, second with six points. The ones of Allegri suffered to bend to the Sporting of Portugal.
In the group of the Athletic of Madrid -analysed further down- stands out Chelsea, leader with 7 points and 11 goals in favour. The ones of Conte posit like one of the candidates to the title. A physical team and very worked that it has to improve still in some facets, especially offensive. The Rome, second with 5 points.
We could affirm that the PSG is the team more in shape of Europe. Leader of the Group B with 9 points of 9 possible and a balance demoledor: 12 goals in favour and any against. It has played two parties out of house and has arrasado (0-5 to the Celtic and 0-4 to the Anderletch). Cavani, Neymar and Mbappé amuse . Between the Parisians and the Bayern would have to be the leadership.
The United of Mourinho heads the group To invicto, with 8 goals in favour and so alone 1 against. Without shining in excess but with a lot of solidity backwards, the red devils have gone back well to the Champions. In second position find to the Basilea, one of the disclosures, with six points.
With alike figures to the United is the City: 9 points, 8 goals in favour and 1 against. Leaders of the Group F by in front of the Shaktar, second with 6. The ones of Guardiola won 2-1 to the Naples home, leaving to the Italians without margin of error for this second turn -have three points-. The City plays well and wants to arrive, this year yes, to the final.
Finally, stand out that the Besiktas is imposing in the Group G. The Turkish are leaders invictos whereas the Leipzig is second with 4 points. The Port wine of Boxes, with 3 points, has still options to classify , but already has fit six goals in three meetings. They will have to improve defensivamente the Portuguese.
The Spaniards, with doubts
After analysing the groups to individual level, touches to do quotation of the Spanish teams, that up to now are not to a brilliant level. Especially Athletic and Seville, that can not sleep in the laurels if they want to happen to the following round. The rojiblancos did not happen of the tie to zero in front of the Qarabag and hardly add two points of nine possible. This yes, Simeone asks tranquility.
By his part, the Seville went out vapuleado of Moscow this Tuesday (5-1) and is third with four points -and this difference of goals with the muscovites that will be difficult revertir-. Four points, to one of the Spartak and of the Liverpool. The good part? The two parties of 'gone back' in front of these two teams will play them home.
Finally, the Madrid is second of group empatado to points with the Tottenham. The ones of Zidane did not happen of the tie to one in front of the English this Tuesday, although had an infinity of opportunities to carry the three points. With a Borussia feebler -only a point- expects that the whites do not happen difficulties.
