In the early morning of September 18, Beijing time, the English League Cup entered the third round of competition, and at the same time, the first round of the Champions League of the new season also kicked off, and all three games played a big score.
Bayern 9-2 Dinamo Zagreb
There is a huge gap in quality between the two teams, but few fans would have imagined that a Champions League game would almost hit a double-digit scoreline.
In the first half, both goals were blown away by Bayern, but thanks to Kane's penalty, as well as goals from Guerreiro and Olisse, Bayern took a 3-0 lead.
Kompany came on for Manuel Neuer, but less than five minutes into the second half, Ulreich's goal was twice missed to make it 2-3.
Perhaps it was the successive goals that infuriated Bayern, and the Nanda King was out of control after that, with Olise scoring twice and Kane scoring three goals in a row to stage a quadruple, three of which, of course, were penalties.
During this period, Bayern had another goal blown away. In the final stages of the scoreline, Leroy Sane and Goretzka also scored.
In the end, in this first round of the Champions League, Bayern beat Dinamo Zagreb 9-2 after three goals were blown.
Manchester United 7-0 Barnsley
The English League Cup match was equally jaw-dropping. Manchester United host seventh-placed Barnsley in League One. The Red Devils were on fire and played with ease, with United taking a 3-0 lead in just the first half.
Garnacho set up Marcus Rashford's goal, then Antony scored his own penalty before Garnacho netted in first-half stoppage time.
Garnacho and Marcus Rashford both scored in the second half, with substitute Fernandes providing two assists and Christian Eriksen scoring twice.
In the end, Manchester United beat Barnsley 7-0 to advance to the fourth round.
Preston 16-15 Fulham
In the other Carabao Cup match, Premier League side Fulham are 21st in the Premier League with Preston North End in the Championship. At the end of normal time, the two teams were tied 1-1 and could only be decided by a brutal penalty shoot-out.
The course of the penalty shoot-out was magical enough to go down in the history of the EFL Cup, with both teams hitting a pretty high percentage of their players. The penalty shoot-out was played for 17 rounds.
In the end, Preston North End eliminated Fulham 2-1 after only two penalties and advanced to the fourth round.
