The second round of the Champions League witnessed major surprises, the most prominent of which was the fall of the title holder Real Madrid after losing to Lille 1-0 in France.
The matches of the second round were played between Tuesday and Wednesday, and perhaps the biggest surprise so far is the French team Brest, which is participating for the first time in the “two-eared” and has succeeded in achieving 6 points so far.
In general, only 6 teams have succeeded in winning the first two matches, but what is striking is that most of them are not major clubs experienced in the Champions League.
The first 8 clubs qualify directly to the round of 16, while from the 9th to 24th place, a play-off is played in the knockout stage system (knockout) to determine the other 8 teams that qualify for the round of 16.
Borussia Dortmund are currently at the top of the Champions League standings, taking advantage of goal difference after scoring 7 goals against Celtic, and before that they beat Club Brugge 3-0.
