Ligue des champions : Pape Matar Sarr domine Pape Guèye, Ousseynou Niang réussit ses débuts
The first matchday of the 2025-2026 Champions League season kicked off this Tuesday. Three Senegalese players were in the running. Union Saint-Gilloise winger Ousseynou Niang arguably had the best performance. With the Belgian club, the former Diambars player went to the Netherlands to win against PSV Eindhoven (3-1). The young Senegalese striker, who was playing his first match in the major club competition, played the entire match and was one of his team's best players.
In London, the duel between Senegalese midfielders turned to the advantage of Tottenham's Pape Matar Sarr, who beat Villarreal's Pape Guèye (1-0).
At the Santiago Bernabéu, Marseille came close to a triumph. The Phocéens, who were leading thanks to a goal from Timothy Weah (22nd minute), were finally overturned by two penalties converted by Kylian Mbappé (28th, 81st minute).
Borussia Dortmund also let a victory slip away in Turin. Sehrou Guirassy's teammates, who led 4-2 in added time, ultimately conceded a draw (4-4).
For their part, Arsenal went to Spain to win against Athletic Bilbao (2-0).
The big surprise of this first day came from the Luz stadium, where the modest Qarabag created the feat by beating Benfica on their ground (3-2).
