00:00Let's kick things off with the standard results from match day number two.

00:09Let's start with a city that holds a huge place in my heart, one of the most beautiful

00:13places I've ever visited, Salzburg in Austria.

00:15But even though the city is beautiful, their team, not so much.

00:19Not so much.

00:20A 4-0 loss to Brest.

00:21It was a beating.

00:23Their forward line was just ruthless.

00:24Salzburg defense had no answer.

00:26It's a disappointing result for them, especially on a home game, and Brest is now making a

00:30real statement at the top of the standings, something that we didn't expect.

00:35Well, let's go to more positive news.

00:37Now to Germany.

00:38Borussia Dortmund steamrolling over Celtic, 7-1.

00:42What stood in your mind the most out in this game?

00:45Dortmund is playing at a whole different level, Francisco.

00:47The front line is electric.

00:49We saw in the domestic league they're playing at a very high level.

00:52Celtic, surprisingly, they had a great result in the first matchday of the UEFA Champions

00:57League.

00:58Now they cannot get that result, and clearly we have a favorite to win the cup.

01:02At Everett Stadium, Arsenal.

01:04What a result for them.

01:05Miyako Sakai, great match there, beating Paris Saint-Germain, and to me, that window from

01:10Paris Saint-Germain when they had Mbappé and Messi, and obviously these great players,

01:15I think that window's closing.

01:16The Beatles used to say, can't buy me love.

01:19Well, it seems that Paris Saint-Germain can get money to buy them a Champions League trophy.

01:23When it comes to Champions League, Paris Saint-Germain, they have a very bad luck.

01:27Arsenal is completely changing as a team.

01:30We see it in domestic league with great results lately.

01:33Now coming to the European top tournament and showing that they are also looking for

01:40that first spot.

01:41How about, you know, I feel for young boys, the Switzerland team, because when Barcelona

01:47comes and tries to rebound from a loss against Osasuna, it was a bad loss for them.

01:514-2 after destroying, demolishing every team in the Spanish league.

01:54They get into Champions back, what do they want to do?

01:57They want to punish whoever's in front of them.

02:00So I feel bad for young boys.

02:01It was a bad loss for them.

02:02I think that what's happening in Barcelona is that it's growing pains.

02:05We'll see some of these games where they struggle, but it's also because they are, you know,

02:10fundamentally transforming the way that Barcelona plays.

02:13We come from a decade plus of tiki-taka and now they're playing a very direct soccer style

02:19that young boys couldn't hold.

02:21You know, if they struggle to deal with your regular teams, a supercharged Barcelona is

02:26going to be hard too.

02:27We're going to talk more Mexico national team.

02:29Love the jersey, by the way, brother.

02:31I love it.

02:32You're representing.

02:33Bayer Leverkusen used to feature Andres Guardado and at some point Chicharito Hernandez as

02:37well.

02:38Well, let's talk about Bayer Leverkusen.

02:39Bayer Leverkusen waited for the moment.

02:42When it came, they were clinical.

02:44Milan just couldn't break them down.

02:45Milan is struggling.

02:47You know, they had a great result with a classic where they beat Inter, Pulvisic, showing great

02:52performances.

02:53But when it comes to Champions League, the engine is not starting there at the lowest

02:58point of the standings.

03:01You know, a new situation.

03:02But to see that team all the way down in the standings is really...
