"What a weekend! The European soccer schedule didn't disappoint over the past 48 hours, giving us plenty to talk about. On Saturday morning, Thomas Frank and Tottenham turned up at the Etihad and rolled to a convincing 2-0 win over Manchester City, a game in which individual errors were punished in full and Pep Guardiola was given a few headaches."
"Arsenal fans will have been thrilled by beating Leeds 5-0 on Saturday, but the panic around minor injuries to Martin Odegaard and Bukayo Saka suggest that they're still lacking a little depth. Oh, and Milan still look very much like a work in progress after losing to tiny Cremonese, though we hope manager Max Allegri doesn't panic and make too many changes."
"It's not often that Pep Guardiola gets out-coached, but Tottenham's 2-0 win at Manchester City on Saturday morning can arguably fall into that category. Not so much for the result -- both a direct outcome of individual errors -- but for how the game unfolded. We'll get to that in a minute, but you can't help but start with the goalkeeping situation and here, you can't help but feel for James Trafford."
Tottenham produced a convincing 2-0 victory at Manchester City, a result influenced by individual errors and notable goalkeeping issues. Real Madrid secured a comfortable win over Real Oviedo thanks to a late scoring surge and Kylian Mbappé's influence, while Barcelona continued to display defensive problems. Arsenal beat Leeds 5-0, but concern over minor injuries to Martin Odegaard and Bukayo Saka exposed squad depth limitations. AC Milan looked like a work in progress after losing to Cremonese. Additional talking points emerged around Chelsea, Paris Saint-Germain, Bayer Leverkusen, Napoli, Bayern Munich and Manchester United, with Liverpool still facing Newcastle.
