Live from the Champions League: Bayer Leverkusen hosts Brest

The third round in the Champions League continues tonight (Wednesday) with the pair of early games. Bayer Leverkusen will be hosted by Brest in the battle between the best so far, while at the same time Atalanta will host Celtic.

Brest – Bayer Leverkusen 1:1

Two of the few perfectionists in the factory meet for a game where only one of them can match Aston Villa at the top with 9 points. The host surprisingly opened her factory performance with two victories, but over Strom Graz and Red Bull Salzburg, and now she will also try to stun the double player from Germany who impressed against Feyenoord and Milan. Xavi Alonso started the lineup with Florian Wirtz and Patrick Schick who will try to bring the guest to first place, while Victor Boniface was absent due to the accident he committed.

24th minute: Goal! 0:1 to Leverkusen. Wirtz made a movement deep and managed to remain uncovered between the two brakes, the line of separation was completely broken and the star received a ball in front of the goalkeeper and from there the path to the net was short.

39th minute: Goal! Lis-Melo swung his leg and kicked a volley outside the box, the ball bouncing on the grass on its way to the far corner and in.

Atalanta – Celtic 0:0

The team from Bergamo’s weak start to the season took a turn in the last three games in all competitions with three wins in a row, with one of them being their first in the Champions League this season, with an important 0:3 over Shakhtar Donetsk. On the other hand, Celtic, who scored 1:5 against Sloven Bratislava, fell back to earth with a 7:1 defeat at Borussia Dortmund, and will struggle to get at least a point in Italy. Ademola Lookman and Matteo Reteghi in Gian Piero Gasparini’s wing, while on the other hand Adam Ida will hope to overcome Atalanta’s 3 brake line-up and surprise with a prestigious victory.

18th minute: Atalanta attack, but are unable to subdue Schmeichel for the time being. The closest to scoring was Peshalic, who hit the crossbar first and sent the rebound into the outer net.

45th minute: This time Schmeichel saved Celtic from conceding after Retegi hit a powerful shot from close range, but the Dane flew over and headed away.
