This was a comprehensive dismantling of a shaky Barcelona side. Dortmund were sharper in buildup, braver in progression, and ruthless in the final third.

Aston Villa delivered one of their most complete European performances in recent memory. Outgunned in Paris, they flipped the script at Villa Park with clinical finishing and relentless pressing. PSG had the ball, but Villa had the bite — with higher xG, xT, and overall momentum across both halves.

This was a clash of control vs efficiency. Bayern’s superior xT and possession painted the picture of a dominant team, but Inter’s opportunism and conversion made them the winner after all.

Arsenal advance with ruthless efficiency. Real Madrid controlled large spells and outperformed Arsenal in nearly every metric — but football rewards execution. Arsenal had less of the ball, fewer shots, and lower xG, but found the back of the net when it mattered most.

Hammarby sent a clear message with this performance. Clinical, cohesive, and composed — while Djurgården were left searching for answers. The stats say it all: this was no fluke.

A comprehensive performance from Newcastle, combining possession balance with lethal attacking phases. Manchester United had no answers to Newcastle’s intensity, and the underlying metrics show just how one-sided it was. A statement win at St. James’ Park.

A tactical stalemate in terms of possession, but the metrics clearly favored Lazio. Still, it ended 1–1 — a testament to Roma’s efficiency and Lazio’s wastefulness. Derby drama, even without a winner.

Despite Bayern dominating both the eye test and the stat sheet, Inter Milan came away with a crucial 2–1 win, thanks to brilliant defending and perfect counter-attacks. Sommer’s performance was legendary. The return leg now tilts toward the Italians — but Bayern will feel far from out of it.

One-sided in numbers and feel — Arsenal beat Real Madrid tactically, physically, and mentally. A 3–0 win that wasn’t just deserved but methodical. Arteta’s side take a commanding lead into the second leg with full confidence.

Barcelona put on a Champions League show — dominant in midfield, precise in attack, and ruthless when it mattered. Dortmund’s defense bent and finally broke under pressure. A 4–0 win that reflects not just control, but intent.

Paris Saint-Germain delivered a clear tactical win with numbers to match. While Aston Villa had their moments, PSG’s mix of control, passing precision, and chance volume proved too much. With this 3–1 result, the French side take command of the tie heading into the second leg.
