Kicking off with Football and results of the Europa League Group stage – Matchday 1 and in Group K – a much changed Liverpool side managed a 4-1 home win against Romania’s Steaua Bucuresti.
An early goal from Joe Cole, a second-half strike from Lucas and a brace from David N’Gog help the Reds to all three-points, despite Christian Tanase scoring an equaliser in the first 45 for the Romanian side.
Elsewhere Manchester City started their campaign with a 2-0 win away at Salzburg of Austria; holders Atletico Madrid were beaten by Greek-side Aris Salonika 1-0 away; Germany’s Bayer Leverkusen hammered Norway’s Rosenborg 4-0 at home; and in Italy Juventus were held to a 3-all draw against Polish-side Lech Poznan at the Stadio Olimpico.
