Bill Connelly of ESPN analyzes the main characters in soccer following a rousing Champions League matchday. Manchester United rallied from two goals down to secure a vital win at Old Trafford, ending a nine-match winless streak. The comeback saw Matheus Cunha score twice and the stadium erupt into "Fergie Time" after Bruno Fernandes' retaken penalty.

In stark contrast, Italian side Como stunned Lens with a 9-1 victory in their Champions League debut, scoring 19 goals through four matches. Paris Saint-Germain remain the team to beat in Europe. Meanwhile, Gianluigi Donnarumma is a concern after recent performances.

Scoring is up across Europe's top leagues, with Serie A seeing a 23.9% increase, while the Premier League is down 2%. Goals are fun, and the trend of open-play goals continues.".
