There were a few surprises on the second matchday of the new Champions League on Wednesday evening. Bayern, who have been strong of late, were beaten 1-0 at Aston Villa. Defending champions Real Madrid also embarrassed themselves with a 1-0 defeat against OSC Lille. Meanwhile, Juventus Turin proved their morale by turning a 3-2 win against RB Leipzig into a 3-2 victory away from home. Monaco coach Adi Hütter had a wild evening. 

Real Madrid's impressive unbeaten streak was broken on Wednesday evening in the Champions League. The defending champions, still without ÖFB star David Alaba, were beaten 1-0 away to French first division side Lille in the second game of the league phase of the "premier class" after a season-long run of 36 competitive games without defeat. Bayern Munich also suffered a surprising defeat, losing 1-0 at Aston Villa.

ÖFB engine Konrad Laimer played in central midfield until the 86th minute. Another German Bundesliga club, RB Leipzig, also suffered defeat, as did two other ÖFB team mainstays, Nicolas Seiwald (until the 87th minute) and Christoph Baumgartner (until the break).

A 2:3 home defeat against Juventus Turin despite numerical superiority after taking a 2:1 lead. AS Monaco fought back from 2-0 down to draw 2-2 at Dinamo Zagreb in extremely difficult pitch conditions to remain unbeaten in their eighth competitive match of the season under coach Adi Hütter.

Manuel Neuer makes a crucial mistake
Liverpool celebrated a favorites' victory with a 2-0 win over Bologna, where Stefan Posch played at right-back. Benfica Lisbon clearly beat Atletico Madrid 4:0.

The decisive goal for Lille came from a penalty after Eduardo Camavinga handled a free-kick from Edon Zhegrova in the penalty area. Striker Jonathan David (45.+3) scored safely from the spot. Real coach Carlo Ancelotti brought on Kylian Mbappe in the 57th minute after the restart, but even the French star was unable to turn the game around.

Bayern were lucky that a goal by Pau Torres in the 22nd minute was disallowed for offside. In the 79th minute, the many fans at Villa Park in Birmingham, including Prince Harry, were still able to cheer. After a long pass, the Colombian Jhon Duran beat Manuel Neuer, who had rushed out of his goal (79'). Neuer looked more than unfortunate during the action. Aston Villa goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez, on the other hand, held on to the win with several great saves, including one in the 96th minute.

Juve show morale, wild evening for Hütter
Things actually went well for Leipzig for long stretches with a brace from Benjamin Sesko (30th, 65th/penalty). However, the Italians turned the game around after Juve goalkeeper Michele di Gregorio was sent off. Dusan Vlahovic with his second goal (68') and Francisco Conceicao (83') were responsible. Both sides could have scored considerably more goals.

Monaco looked like losing for a long time in Zagreb in almost irregular conditions, as Petar Sucic (45+3), the cousin of ex-Salzburg player Luka Sucic, and Martin Baturina (66) scored. However, a win after the 2:9 debacle against Bayern came to nothing as Mohammed Salisu (74) and Denis Zakaria (90/penalty) scored. Monaco scored again after their 2:1 win against Barcelona. For Zagreb coach Nenad Bjelica, it was a partial success in his second competitive match since his return.

Liverpool's home win was secured by Alexis Mac Allister (11) and Mohamed Salah (75). Benfica dominated Atletico at will and converted their superiority into goals from Kerem Aktürkoglu (13'), Angel di Maria (52' / penalty), Alexander Bah (75') and Orkun Kökcü (84').
