Tennis defeat from Atlético and Suarez's brilliant performance

Meanwhile, two historical events took place in the Spanish Championship.

Luis Suarez made his debut for Atlético and his former Barcelona side played their first leg under new coach Ronald Koeman. 

A little earlier there was a meeting of Madrid, who in their first game of the season with a tennis score defeated Granada - 6: 1.

The rival came to the capital as the leader of the standings of Examples, but could not oppose anything to the hosts.

Suarez came on as a substitute in the 70th minute, by that time his new team had scored three unanswered goals.

Kuman's successful debut and Fati's quick take

Barcelona in the first leg under the leadership of Koeman also achieved a major victory.

The Catalans defeated Villarreal at home - 4: 0.

Ansu Fati replaced Suarez in the starting lineup, and the 17-year-old striker fully justified the confidence of the new coach.

By the 19th minute, the forward scored a double, which became the second in his career.

Curiously, in the second case, he was assisted by Philippe Coutinho, who returned to Barcelona. 

And in the middle of the first half, Fati also earned a penalty, which Lionel Messi converted.

Bayern's first defeat in ten months and Hoffenheim's second win in a row

The main sensation of the game day took place in Germany, where Bayern lost to Hofenheim with a crushing score (1: 4), suffered the first defeat in ten months and broke the 32-match unbeaten run in all tournaments. 

The main reason for the failure was the banal fatigue of the Munich people.

On Thursday night, they played a tough 120-minute UEFA Super Cup match with Sevilla and did not recover in time.

In addition, Hans-Dieter Flick kept several key players in reserve, in particular Robert Lewandowski.

The Hoffenheim footballers entered the field with an outrageous attitude and by the middle of the first half scored twice, taking advantage of the opponent's uncertain defensive play. 

True, in the 36th minute, Jozua Kimmich played one goal, and after the break, the coaching staff of Bayern threw Lewandowski into the battle with Leon Goretskaya.

As part of Roma, both goals were also scored by one footballer - Jordan Veretu.

Spice's unsuccessful debut and three canceled goals for Sassuolo

In another match of the day, Sassuolo defeated La Spezia (4: 1), which played the first ever game in Serie A. But it was not the players of the winning team that came to the fore, but the refereeing team. 

Davide Guerzini and his assistants canceled three goals at once by Sassuolo, all of them by Francesco Capuato.

In all cases, VAR helped to determine a small offside position for the striker.

However, in the end, the striker still scored the ball according to all the rules, and in addition earned a penalty and gave an assist.

At the end of July, Sassuolo found itself in a similar situation.

Then the judges did not immediately count four goals of the team in the match against Napoli, and she suffered an offensive defeat - 0: 2.

Further, the Monaco players created problems for themselves, remaining nine.

First, Aurelien Chuaemi received a second yellow card for a dangerous jump at the feet of his opponent, and then Axel Disasi made a “last resort foul” in his own penalty area.

Ludovi Ajork converted the penalty and cut Strasbourg's backlog to a minimum, but Monaco still kept the winning numbers. 

21 PSG shots and two assists from Mbappe

And PSG extended the winning streak in Ligue 1 to three matches.

On Sunday, the reigning champion beat outsider Reims 2: 0 away.

Both goals in the Parisians were scored by Mauro Icardi.

Twice assisted Argentinean Killian Mbappé.

In the ninth minute, the world champion crowned a solo pass to someone else's penalty area with an accurate pass to a partner, and in the 62nd he brought his teammate to an empty net.
