The last weekend before the customary international break scheduled for September, now dedicated to Nations League matches, has come to a close. Alongside Serie A, the top European leagues are also heating up, with surprises, especially in the Premier League. On Sunday in England, two big teams, Chelsea and Tottenham, failed to secure wins.
Maresca's team managed only a 1-1 home draw against Crystal Palace, while Spurs were defeated by Newcastle, featuring Tonali's return after a long betting scandal suspension. Manchester United also fell, once again dramatically, in the big match against Liverpool: a brace from Luis Diaz and a goal from Salah sunk the Red Devils at Old Trafford. After three rounds, only ten Hag's team and Pep Guardiola's Manchester City remain unbeaten.
In La Liga, Kylian Mbappé scored his first goals. The French star led Real Madrid with a double, securing a 2-0 win over Betis at the Bernabeu. Carlo Ancelotti's team now stands as the closest challenger to Barcelona, which remains perfect with 12 points, while Real trails by four. Bayern Munich and PSG continue their perfect starts. The Bavarians defeated Freiburg 2-0, with goals from Kane and Muller, matching Leipzig and surprise team Heidenheim with six points after two rounds. Meanwhile, Paris Saint-Germain, led by Luis Enrique, sits alone at the top of Ligue 1 with three wins from three. The French champions cruised to a 3-1 victory away at Lille and are already enjoying the impact of their new star, Barcola.
