Raphinha scored another hat-trick as Barcelona defeated Sevilla 3-1, showcasing his versatility with a right foot, header, and left foot goal. This performance reinforces Raphinha's position as a key player for Barcelona, who currently lead LaLiga by five points. Meanwhile, Jose Mourinho's Roma suffered a setback, losing to Atletico Madrid, and the manager voiced his frustrations over the officiating in the match, hinting at conspiracies against his team.

In the Bundesliga, Harry Kane reached a significant milestone by scoring his 100th goal in just 98 appearances for Bayern Munich. He netted twice in a 7-0 victory over Union Berlin, while teammate Michael Olise shone with three goals and an assist. Borussia Dortmund maintained their perfect start to the season with a narrow win against Stuttgart, thanks to a goal from Maxi Beier and an assist from Jobe Bellingham.

Serie A saw Ruben Amorim adapt his tactics, leading AC Milan to a 3-0 victory over Lecce. This change in formation allowed for a more fluid attack, a move Amorim was reluctant to make during his time at Manchester United. Inter Milan also displayed resilience, coming back from two goals down to secure a draw against Roma, with Lautaro Martinez scoring twice to keep their unbeaten streak alive.

In Ligue 1, Paris Saint-Germain continued to find form with a 2-1 win over Marseille, while Paris FC, managed by Liam Rosenior, celebrated a 2-1 victory against Strasbourg. Rosenior's celebration sparked controversy, as he responded to disrespectful behaviour from a section of the opposing fans. Meanwhile, Mohamed Salah's hat-trick for Trabzonspor led to a commanding 4-0 win over Galatasaray, marking the reigning champions' first league defeat of the season.
