00:00Let's kick it off with Real Madrid 5-2 win over Borussia Dortmund.

00:07Los Blancos were down 2-0 at the halftime and then boom, Vini Junior goes off with a

00:12second-half hat-trick that turned the game on its head.

00:15What a performance.

00:16What a performance.

00:17Vini was on fire.

00:18His second goal, even more beautiful, a 60-yard solo run.

00:22Are you kidding me?

00:23It was pure brilliance.

00:25Dortmund couldn't handle them, especially in the last 30 minutes.

00:28Vini is now the favourite for the Ballon d'Or.

00:30You can see why.

00:31Madrid, now looking comfortable in their group.

00:33They're more comfortable than your grandma's cat sitting on your grandma's TV set taking

00:37a nap.

00:38Without a doubt, Nick.

00:39And speaking of magic moments, Christian Pulisic scoring an Olimpico goal.

00:44That's right, straight from the corner in Milan's 3-1 win over Club Brugge.

00:48Nick, that was something else.

00:50You don't see those every day.

00:51Pulisic's goal really set the tone.

00:52Honestly, it is.

00:53It's rare to see an Olimpico, period.

00:55But in that fashion, oh my God, Milan needed this win after a shaky start to their Champions

01:00League campaign.

01:01Pulisic, delivering in a big way, as he's been doing lately.

01:03So surprised, but not shocked.

01:05No, probably the best player in CONCACAF right now.

01:08And what about Aston Villa?

01:09The Cinderella story just keeps getting better and better.

01:12Villa's 2-0 win against Bologna sees them top of the table.

01:16And to talk more about that, we got Francisco Iquique Rivera straight from Portland.

01:20Francisco, take it away.

01:21The first team to make it 3-4-3 in this new format, Aston Villa.

01:27How about a team that was relegated only eight years ago?

01:30Back in 2016, they lasted three seasons in the championship.

01:33They were able to come back.

01:35And then, you know, their progress has been impressive.

01:37Only two seasons ago, they were ranked 14th.

01:41And then last year, they moved up to fourth.

01:43Only below Manchester City, Arsenal, Liverpool, and ahead of teams like Tottenham Hotspur,

01:48Newcastle United, Chelsea, Manchester United.

01:51The team they have right now is very compact, obviously.

01:53The two highlights are on goal, Divul Martínez.

01:55And up front, John Duran, the attacker, who has been amazing.

01:58He scored a goal against Bologna.

02:00Aston Villa is now fourth in the English Premier League.

02:03And then again, they're undefeated 3-4-3 in the UEFA Champions League, having a chance

02:07to do it once again.

02:09Back to you guys in the studio.

02:10But let's not forget, Aston Villa could be a force to reckon in this UEFA Champions League.

02:15Muchísimas gracias, Francisco.

02:17Que te la pases bien.

02:18Que esté emocionante el partido.

02:19Aston Villa, keeping the dream alive now.

02:21Let's talk about the rest of the games in this matchday number three.

02:25Nick, what are your highlights?

02:26Oof, what are my highlights?

02:27Where do I start?

02:28Well, Juve, they took a tough loss, unfortunately, a 1-0 loss to Stuttgart, conceding late in

02:32stoppage time.

02:33That must have hurt.

02:34They've been struggling defensively lately.

02:37And tonight, unfortunately for them, no different.

02:40Bilal Toure with a decisive goal for Stuttgart, though.

02:43So they're happy.

02:44Juventus are now in trouble in this group moving forward.

02:45They've got to be careful.

02:47PSG with another underwhelming performance, a 1-1 draw against PSV and Dijon.

02:52Dembele missed two seeders and PSG looked all over the place.

02:55Nick, they're going to need to figure things out fast.

02:58Exactly.

02:59Very fast.

03:00PSG's only got four points from the last three games, so that's not looking good for them.

03:03And still, they have to face big teams, Atletico Madrid, Bayern, which we're going to talk

03:07about later.

03:08So it's not looking good for them right now.

03:10They got to step it up.

03:11They got to get serious.

03:12Another big result was Sporting Lisbon.

03:14Their big win.

03:15Their 2-0 win, I should say, over Stromgraz.

03:18Viktor Gjokeres scoring again, showing that he is incredible this season.

03:21He's in great form.

03:23Sporting, quietly making their mark here.

03:25And one of the most exciting games in Matchday 3, Nick, Barcelona against Bayern Munich.

03:30Un partidazo.

03:31Oh my God.

03:32Yeah, Marce, this one had everything.

03:34For years, Bayern Munich was Barcelona's worst nightmare.

03:37Their bestia negra.

03:38But here they are.

03:39Five straight beatdowns in the Champions League had left Barcelona reeling, but not

03:43this time.

03:44Barcelona came out swinging.

03:45They pulled out a 4-1 statement win.

03:47Statement win indeed.

03:48Absolutely.

03:49And the resurgence we're seeing from Barcelona right now is a big deal.

03:52This wasn't just a win.

03:53It was a message to Europe elite, Nick, that Barca is back.
