Great 3-1! 70 million civilians made history: 3 major breakthroughs in their first Champions League debut, defeating Arsenal to the top

In the early morning of September 17, in the first round of the new UEFA Champions League stage, the first two games were played, Premier League giants Arsenal defeated La Liga powerhouse Bilbao 2-0 away, and Belgian giants San Giros defeated the Eredivisie 3-1 away, staged a night of sadness and joy.

Arsenal vs. Bilbao

Arsenal is a regular visitor to the Champions League, especially in the past few seasons, but its overall competitiveness is not too strong, with the most senior four levels. Last season, he was eliminated by Paris, who won the championship last season, and was once again short of all the big fours.

Compared to Arsenal, Bilbao has not participated in the Champions League many times, plus this time it has been three times in total, and the last time has to be traced back to the 2014-15 season. It has been 11 years since then, and returned to the Champions League stage last season with the fourth place in La Liga. In the first half, both sides had few opportunities and did not score. Until the second half, Arsenal's substitution adjustment played a key role. At the same time, Martinelli and Trosad, who came on as a substitute, sent passes and shots from each other, helping the team to finally defeat Bilbao 2-0 and get a good start.

According to statistics, Arsenal has achieved six consecutive victories against the Spanish team in the Champions League, and has become the first team in history to do this.

San Giros VS Eindhoven

Eindhoven is the former Champions League champion, but his competitiveness in recent years is not as good as before. San Giros is just a new team in the Champions League, with the whole team worth only 70 million euros. After winning the A-League last season, it went straight to the Champions League main match. This is also the first time that the team has participated in the Champions League in history. They have played in the Champions League qualifiers twice before, both of which have stopped in the third round.

In this game, San Giros showed a very hot state. In the 9th minute, Promis David scored a penalty; in the 39th minute, Elhagi scored a goal; in the 81st minute, Kevin McAllister scored and scored a 3-0 lead. Eindhoven won a goal in stoppage time, and finally lost 1-3.

In this way, San Giros not only scored the first goal in the Champions League in the history of the team, but also won the first victory, achieving the goal of "scoring one goal, getting one point, and winning one" ahead of schedule. The club,

San Giros, was founded in November 1897. The team was established about 5 years earlier than the Champions League King Real Madrid. From 1903 to 1935, it won the Belgian top league championship 11 times, but then it fell into a 90-year championship drought, until the championship last season ended the waiting.

In the previous 2022-23 Europa League, San Giros United successfully advanced to the knockout round for the first time in the European Championship, creating the history of this club from the Belgian capital.

It is worth mentioning that after the first match day, San Giros beat Arsenal and Real Madrid and ranked first in the standings.
