Full-time UCL Matchday 1 results (Tuesday 8 September 2026):
Finished:
Aston Villa 3-2 Club Brugge
AEK Athens 1-0 LASK
Main matches:
Real Madrid 2-1 Inter (Mbappé 14’, Valverde 23’; Carlos Augusto 77’)
Lille 2-3 Real Betis (Ueda 12’, Alexsandro 36’, Ethan Mbappé 56’; Bartra 33’/49’, Parrott 53’)
Manchester City 2-0 Porto (Haaland 47’, 90+1’)
Borussia Dortmund 3-1 Villarreal (Veiga OG 53’, Guirassy 80’/85’ pen; Mouriño 66’)

Quick analysis

Real Madrid controlled the first half and held on after Inter’s late reply for a solid opening win. Manchester City needed a late second from Haaland to seal the points on the road after a cagey first half. Dortmund recovered from a shaky spell to take control late through Guirassy’s brace. The biggest surprise was Real Betis coming from behind twice to beat Lille in a five-goal thriller. Aston Villa and AEK also got their campaigns off to winning starts.
Overall a strong night for the big favourites, with City and Madrid collecting maximum points and Dortmund responding well.

🗣️📢: Kylian Mbappé is one of the few players who can realistically break Cristiano Ronaldo’s Champions League goalscoring record. 🐐🇫🇷

Ronaldo: 140 goals
Mbappé: 70 goals

He’s only 27. 👀

Can Mbappé do it?
