The second week in the Super League saw the teams dish out more goals in a bumper weekend attacking football where a lot of teams were put to the sword.
MATCH OF THE WEEK
It was very hard to decide what the match of the weak was with so many good games to choose from but i think the Man Utd Atletico vs Madrid game takes the prize home this game
MAN UTD vs ATLETICO MADRID
Yet another game were Machester Utd dominate with CCCs but cannot seem to close off the game. 6 CCCs to Atletico's 1 and they end up drawing the game late on. From watching all the matches/tactics, the
High pressure tactic by Postorook (Man Utd) seems to be the best of the lot so far. It seems to create CCCs consistently and dominates the opposition.
The only downside is that it seems to concede silly goals as well.
It is also unfortunate however that the Utd players can't seem to find the net when it is easier to score or else these games would not even be close

OTHER NOTEWORTHY GAMES
PSG vs DORTMUND
The result in this game ended being very one sided with PSG loosing heavily by 4 goals. Although PSG were not dominated in the game the scoreline shows different. A combination of poor finishing and bad defending led to PSGs demise
BARCELONA vs CHELSEA
This was the most open game with both teams going for the jugular. The game started with Chelsea on top of things but a Red card to Ashley Cole quickly changed things and from then on Barcelona dominated. Still, poor finishing was the difference between both sides as both teams had 4 CCCs but only one team scored 4 goals
JUVENTUS vs REAL MADRID
After the last two lacklustre performances from Juventus, I was confident going in to watch this match that Real Madrid would come out on top. Well I could not have been more wrong. Yet again, Juventus were happy to concede possesiion to their opposition in the hopes of launching devastating counter attacks. Juventus ended up creating both more CCCs and more half chances on the day and quit frankly the scoreline could have been worse for Madrid.
MAN CITY vs BAYERN
Man city performed the ropadope against Bayern in this game. This game reminded me of the Madrid vs Bayern game in the champs league or the Chelsea vs Liverpool game in the premier league. Man City were wickedly devastating on the counter attack. I mean with only 39% possession, they were able to create double the CCCs of their opponents and double the half chances. Not an easy task
