Anthony Gordon has made an impressive start at Barcelona, scoring his first goal for the club just two minutes into their 3-0 victory over Getafe. The former Newcastle winger has quickly become a fan favourite, contributing significantly alongside fellow new signing Karim Adeyemi. Barcelona coach Hansi Flick praised Gordon's performances, highlighting his speed and dribbling skills, which have made him a constant threat on the pitch.

In the Bundesliga, Bayern Munich faced scrutiny after a surprising start against Augsburg, where Manuel Neuer was dispossessed just eight seconds into the match, leading to an early goal for the opposition. Despite recovering to draw 2-2, Neuer's performance has raised concerns about his form. With Jonas Urbig now making his debut for Germany, the pressure is mounting on the veteran goalkeeper to maintain his position at Bayern.

Djed Spence made his debut for Inter Milan during their comfortable 3-0 win over Parma. The England international came on as a second-half substitute, and Inter manager Cristian Chivu expressed optimism about Spence's integration into the team, noting that he had only trained with the squad for a week. The match was already secure by the time Spence entered, allowing him to ease into his new surroundings.

In Serie A, Lazio continued their strong start to the season with a 3-1 victory over Monza, maintaining pressure on league leaders Inter. Nuno Tavares, a former Arsenal player, scored a stunning goal, contributing to Lazio's impressive record of five wins and a draw from their first six matches. This marks their best start to a Serie A season ever, showcasing their determination to compete at the top of the table.
