Man City, Real Madrid 証明する their class in 支持する／優勝者s League. Lazio keeper Provedel 長，率いるs to the 最高の，を越す
GENEVA (AP) - It was already （疑いを）晴らす that Manchester City and Real Madrid are the best teams in Europe 権利 now.
The first 一連の会議、交渉／完成する of 支持する／優勝者s League group games this week 確認するd the fact, even if the standout 業績／成果 was by an unheralded goalkeeper in Italy.
Five straight 勝利，勝つs for Man City and Madrid to lead their 国内の leagues was a solid base for the past two 支持する／優勝者s League 肩書を与える 勝利者s to start the European （選挙などの）運動をする with three points.
追加する on Bayern Munich, unbeaten in the Bundesliga though in second place, and the 最高の，を越す three in the UEFA club 最高位のs look 最高の，を越す of the 2023-24 class.
It helped that each got an 開始 game at home against 対抗者s either inexperienced or out of sorts. Still, each favorite 攻撃する，衝突する a bump in the road.
City even 追跡するd at half time to Red 星／主役にする ベオグラード playing its first 支持する／優勝者s League group-行う／開催する／段階 game since 存在 overmatched in 2019.

The 首相 League 支持する／優勝者 緩和するd through the gears and 最終的に 巡航するd to a 3-1 勝利，勝つ.
Madrid needed a 30th goal 試みる／企てる coming in the fourth minute of 停止 time to finally 得点する／非難する／２０ in a 1-0 勝利，勝つ over a dogged Union Berlin 味方する making its 競争 debut. It was Madrid´s 477th game in the European Cup or 支持する／優勝者s League, an 無敵の run that started in the 就任の 1955-56 season.
Bayern´s 4-3 勝利，勝つ over a Manchester 部隊d club seeming to live through a different 危機 each week was more 支配的な than the scoreline 示唆するs, though left room to 改善する.
Next in the UEFA 最高位のs is Paris Saint-Germain, also 攻撃する，衝突する by offseas on 騒動 that saw Lionel Messi and Neymar leave and Kylian Mbapp? stay albeit in open 衝突 with the club.
Still, Mbapp? 得点する／非難する／２０d in a 2-0 勝利，勝つ - at home, of course - over Borussia Dortmund that was 著名な for 存在 演劇-解放する／自由な. New coach Luis Enrique surely would have taken that 申し込む／申し出 days earlier after losing at home to Nice in the French league.
Dortmund is perhaps still hung over from blowing the Bundesliga 肩書を与える on the last day to Bayern in May and seeing Jude Bellingham get his dream move to Madrid.
THE $100M MEN
Three players lined up in the 支持する／優勝者s League this week who recently moved clubs for at least 100 million euros ($110 million).
All three, all England チーム仲間s, looked good value this week.
Bellingham has been the stellar player in Europe this season. His goal to （警官の）巡回区域，受持ち区域 Union Berlin was his second 停止-time 勝利者 this month and made it six goals in six games for Madrid.
Harry Kane now has five goals for Bayern after his 刑罰，罰則 in a 重要な moment helped （警官の）巡回区域，受持ち区域 Man 部隊d, which also tried to buy him from Tottenham.
Declan Rice made his 支持する／優勝者s League debut for 兵器庫 which last played in the group 行う／開催する／段階 seven years ago. Rice has more 最近の European pedigree, 解除するing the トロフィー as captain of West Ham in the third-tier Europa 会議／協議会 League in M ay.
Both Rice and 兵器庫, another team unbeaten this season, 設立する the step up 平易な in a 4-0 （警官の）巡回区域，受持ち区域ing of PSV Eindhoven.
GREATEST GOAL
Some 広大な／多数の／重要な goal scorers 得点する／非難する／２０d this week - Mbapp?, Kane, Robert Lewandowski - but 非，不，無 of them 得点する／非難する／２０d the greatest goal.
Ivan Provedel, the Lazio goalkeeper, made his 支持する／優勝者s League debut at age 29 truly memorable with a 決定的な 長，率いるd goal in a 1-1 draw against Atl?tico Madrid.
That it （機の）カム in time beyond the allotted second-half 停止 time just made the moment sweeter and the joy untethered inside Stadio Olimpico in Rome.
Provedel left the Lazio half to join in the attack for a corner taken as four 追加するd minutes 満了する／死ぬd. The final whistle would surely blow when play stopped.
An Atl?tico defender 封鎖するd the corner and instead of letting the ball roll out of play, lofted it toward the sideline. The ball was retrieved and crossed into the goalmouth where Provedel timed his run, leaped and ちらりと見ることd a header into the unguarded 逮捕する.
"We were desperate, the game was about to end," Provedel said, "and I just hoped the ball （機の）カム my way."
Provedel´s career has bounced around the Italian lower tiers and with midtable Serie A teams, until finding his place at Lazio last season. He played in every game as Lazio finished 走者-up to Napoli.
He now has a place in the 競争´s 68-year history as just the second goalkeeper to 得点する／非難する／２０ in open play. In December 2009, Sinan Bolat 得点する／非難する／２０d for 基準 Liege against AZ Alkmaar - also in the fifth minute of 停止 time in a 1-1 draw.
NEW BOYS
The fixture 名簿（に載せる）／表（にあげる） was unkind to newcomers and others who had patchy starts to this season.
Union Berlin got its toughest fixture over quickly and next welcomes modest Braga to the 74,000-capacity Olympic Stadium.
Newcastle was away from the 支持する／優勝者s League for 20 years and it showed in a 0-0 draw at AC Milan. Newcastle hosts PSG on Oct. 4 in what should be the most rousing atmosphere of any game that week.
レンズ last appeared 21 years ago and （機の）カム 支援する as the last-place club in フラン. A 1-1 draw at Sevilla, the Europa League 支持する／優勝者 last season, was a decent return. レンズ next hosts 兵器庫 in its noisy stadium with more seats -- 38,000 - than the 全住民 of the town in north-east フラン.
王室の Antwerp last played in the European Cup in 1957 and was quickly 除去するd by Real Madrid, then in year three of a five-肩書を与える streak.
Returning away to Barcelona, the ベルギー 支持する／優勝者 was three goals 負かす／撃墜する in 22 minutes before losing 5-0.
