ULC Roundup 7/9/22: Lewandowski Scores Three Goals, Osimhen Misses A Penalty

Barcelona, Napoli, and Ajax each earned convincing victories to wrap up the group round of the Champions League on Wednesday night.

On Wednesday, Barcelona was the greatest winner after scoring five goals at Camp Nou against Czech team Viktoria Plzen. Robert Lewandowski made his Champions League debut with the Catalans, and he did so with an important hat-trick.

Tottenham was relieved on a difficult night, but Liverpool is left stinging. After striking the goal post moments after the game’s opening kickoff, Victor Osimhen missed a penalty attempt in the first half. But by that time, Napoli had already seized the lead thanks to a Piotr Zielinski penalty.

Ajax also handily trounced Rangers in the opening round of Group A. Edson Alvarez, a summer target of Chelsea, scored inside the first 20 minutes to put the Scottish team behind as they competed in their first Champions League group encounter in 12 years.
