Last week’s Champions League opening round delivered fireworks in Europe’s two biggest capitals. Paris turned into a goal‑fest as PSG ripped open their opponents’ defence, while Madrid saw a contentious VAR decision swing momentum in a tightly contested tie. Fans who followed the action could test their recall with a quick quiz posted by BBC Sport this weekend for viewers.

The Paris spectacle featured multiple scores before halftime, underscoring the home side’s attacking intent and forcing the visiting team onto the back foot. In contrast, Madrid’s encounter hinged on a late penalty awarded after a prolonged VAR review, reigniting debate over technology’s role in high‑stakes fixtures. Both matches will shape the group‑stage narrative for fans this season across Europe.

The quiz asks supporters to name the scorers, recall the minute the VAR call was made, and identify which side advanced with a clean sheet. Engaging fans in this way reinforces the drama that early results generate and keeps the conversation alive as clubs plot their paths to the knockout phase. Paris and Madrid set the tone for this season.
