UEFA Group Play And The Upset

 Much like college football, you never really know what the outcome of a match is going to be, regardless of the stats going into said match. This leads me to the upset of the day as Arsenal flew into Allianze Arena in Munich and proceeded to defeat the Bundesliga juggernaut Bayern Munich 2 to nil. For a little perspective, this is akin to Vanderbilt rolling into Tuscaloosa and beating Alabama. It just shouldn't happen, but that's why they play the games. It seems Jurgen Klopp is already paying dividends for Arsenal.
 The remaining matches played out as expected with the Roma and Bayer Leverkusen match proving to be the most entertaining of the day ending in a 4 - 4 draw. Barcelona, without Messi, continued their winning ways with a 2 - 0 victory over BATE Borisov. Substitute Ivan Rakitić scored both goals with assists by Neymar. One can only wonder how good will they be when Messi recovers.
 Chelsea managed a draw with Dynamo Kyiv and remain a solid third in their table.
