On this match day, the five major European leagues continued to play, and many top teams made their debuts. Two of the strong matches attracted much attention. The first Premier League focus match was played. Manchester City tied with Arsenal 2-2 at home with an equalizer in the 98th minute of injury time. AC Milan defeated the Nerazzurri at the last moment. Atletico Madrid also unexpectedly tied with Rayo Vallecano, which was far inferior to them, 1-1. The only one who performed as expected by fans was Barcelona. They defeated Villarreal 5-1 away and continued to stand out in La Liga.

In the past two seasons, Arsenal and Manchester City, who fought to the last minute in the Premier League title battle, are still the two favorites for the new season. To achieve their goal, they must get enough points from each other. Arsenal, who had never defeated Manchester City in the past 9 away league games, almost achieved a breakthrough in this game. After Haaland broke the balance on the field for the Blue Moon Army early, Arsenal's two iron guards stood up. New aid Karafios equalized the score with a world wave, and Gabriel scored with a header before the end of the first half, allowing Arsenal to overtake the score to 2-1. Although Trossard was sent off, the Gunners relied on the united defense in the second half to make Manchester City's attacks come to nothing. However, Stones, who came on as a substitute in the 98th minute, saved Manchester City. His equalizing goal allowed Manchester City to regain the top spot 2-2, and also raised their unbeaten home record in all competitions to 48 games.

Unlike the thrilling match between Manchester City and Arsenal, the subsequent away game between Barcelona and Villarreal was a completely open offensive battle. Although the referee blew off several goals and the goalposts stole the spotlight many times, both sides still scored 6 goals. Barcelona was obviously more efficient. Lewandowski scored twice early, but unfortunately missed a penalty in the second half, which made him miss a hat trick. In addition, young player Torre also completed a highlight performance of 1 shot and 1 pass. At the last moment, Rafinha scored 2 goals in a row, helping Barcelona win 5-1 away, avenging the loss in this stadium last season.

Inter Milan, which has won the Milan derby for six consecutive times, was affected by the fierce battle with Manchester City in the Champions League in the middle of the week. After the start of this game, the whole team gave the fans a feeling of being very tired. AC Milan, who wanted to avenge their defeat, also seized this golden opportunity. Pulisic opened the scoring for the team. Although Dimarco quickly equalized the score, the Rossoneri's fierce attack in the second half paid off at the last moment. Gabia took advantage of the free kick in the frontcourt and scored the winning goal in the 89th minute, helping AC Milan to win 2-1 in the end.

Atletico Madrid, which invested heavily in strengthening its team during the summer transfer window, went to the away game to challenge Rayo Vallecano on this match day. Last season, Atletico Madrid won a 7-0 victory in this stadium. Now, with the joining of strong players such as Alvarez, Gallagher and Sorloth, Atletico Madrid's offensive strength has been further enhanced. This is also the reason why fans were optimistic about their prospects of a big victory before the game. However, the Colchoneros suffered an upset in the away game and were beaten by Rayo Vallecano in the first half. Fortunately, they gradually found their feeling in the second half, with Gallagher scoring the equalizer and finally drawing with the opponent 1-1.
