Newcastle's away record this season is very bad, losing four games in a row recently. The hero of Marseille's reversal is 36-year-old Aubameyang.
Guardiola's starting 10-man rotation lacks a stable midfield core, and the offensive system is still being explored when Harland is not on the team. However, the first defeat in the Champions League this season will not have much impact on the prospects of qualifying.
There are many reasons for Barcelona's defeat, including Ferran Torres missing an excellent opportunity in the early stages of the game and Araujo's "brainlessness", but more importantly, the team's technical advantages were unable to be used under high-intensity confrontation.
In this competition of offside prevention vs counter-offside, Chelsea was very targeted, with various designs of no forward formation and set pieces being highlights. Yamal's slump contrasts with Esteban's brilliance and Cucurella's versatility. After ending Flick's team's 52-game scoring streak, the Blues are targeting the Premier League leader - Arsenal!
