Matchday 2 of the UEFA Champions League 2025\/26<\/strong> closed on Wednesday with nine matches in which a pair of away wins and three draws were recorded. One of the two teams that won away from home was Paris Saint-Germain, at Montju\u00efc against FC Barcelona (1-2)<\/a>.<\/p>

Luis Enrique’s team took the best part in the great match of the day thanks to goals from Senny Mayulu and Gon\u00e7alo Ramos, the latter in the 90th minute. Bar\u00e7a took the lead in the first half with a goal from Ferran Torres, but went from more to less in a match where they were harmed by the refereeing of Michael Oliver and the VAR<\/a>.<\/p>

Newcastle, Dortmund and Arsenal win with authority<\/h2>
\"Dortmund
Dortmund thrashed Athletic in Germany (4-1)<\/div> <\/div> <\/div>

The other team that managed to win as a visitor on Wednesday was Newcastle<\/strong>. Eddie Howe’s team recovered from the defeat in their debut against Bar\u00e7a (1-2)<\/a> with a thrashing in Belgium against Union Saint-Gilloise (0-4). Nick Woltemade, Harvey Barnes and Anthony Gordon (double) scored the goals for the ‘Magpies’.<\/p>

Another team that prevailed in an overwhelming way was Borussia Dortmund<\/strong>. The Germans crushed Athletic Club (4-1)<\/strong> at home with goals from Svensson, Chukwuemeka, Guirassy and Brandt. Gorka Guruzeta brought the Basques closer in the second half, but Ernesto Valverde’s team collapsed in the final stretch, conceding a pair of goals in the 82nd minute and in added time.<\/p>

Less bulky, but equally effective, were the victories of Arsenal and Napoli<\/strong>. Both did their homework at home against Olympiacos (2-0) and Sporting CP (2-1)<\/strong>, respectively. The same was done by the revelation of the Champions League so far, Qarabag<\/strong>, with a victory against Copenhagen (2-0)<\/strong>, their second in a row.<\/p>
