Friday in European club soccer featured several intriguing matchups. In the Premier League, all eyes were on London Stadium, where Chelsea dominated West Ham United 5-1. Lucas Paquetá opened the scoring for the hosts, but the world champions took over from there, with João Pedro, Pedro Neto, Enzo Fernández, Moisés Caicedo and Trevoh Chalobah all getting on the score sheet.
Friday also marks the start of the Bundesliga season, and big-name clubs were chosen to start the new campaign off right. Bayern Munich kicked off 2025-26 against RB Leipzig, and made light work of one of Germany’s strongest clubs, Harry Kane’s hat trick powering the reigning champions to a convincing 6-0 win.
Finally, Champions League holders Paris Saint-Germain took on Angers in Ligue 1 and emerged with a narrow 1-0 victory. Ousmane Dembélé missed a first-half penalty, but Fabián Ruiz netted the eventual winner five minutes after the interval.
