With the start of the Bundesliga, the season has officially begun for the last major European club yet to play, Vincent Kompany's Bayern Munich. On Sunday, the Bavarians made their season debut, facing Wolfsburg away and immediately responding to Xabi Alonso's Bayer Leverkusen. Kompany's first outing was a success: Bayern came from behind to win 3-2, with goals from Musiala and a decisive strike from Gnabry in the 82nd minute, following Kaminski's own goal that temporarily tied the match at 2-2. Despite Majer's brace, the hosts narrowly missed out on a heroic result.
From the Bundesliga to the Premier League, Enzo Maresca celebrated his first victory as Chelsea manager with a resounding 6-2 win over Wolverhampton. A rampant Madueke netted a hat-trick, complemented by goals from Jackson, Joao Felix, and the ever-reliable Cole Palmer.
Meanwhile, Slot's Liverpool responded to Arsenal and Manchester City by defeating Brentford 2-0 in their Anfield debut. Luis Diaz and Salah scored to keep the Reds at full points after the first two matches.
In La Liga, it was smooth sailing for both Real and Atletico Madrid. Ancelotti lost Bellingham to injury but found the first goal from Endrick in a 3-0 win over Valladolid, with additional goals from Valverde and former Milan player Brahim Diaz. Mbappé remained scoreless.
Atletico Madrid also secured a convincing 3-0 win, with Simeone's side defeating Girona at the Metropolitano, courtesy of goals from Griezmann, Llorente, and Koke. Lastly, in Ligue 1, De Zerbi's Marseille drew 2-2 at the Vélodrome against Reims after an opening-day victory, with goals from Harit and Greenwood for OM, and Akieme and Fofana for the visitors.
