On August 18, 2023, according to CCTV5 program list, the first round of the Champions League play off had six matches yesterday, several of which had unexpected results. Manchester United, Inter Milan and other big teams suffered setbacks, and they will face greater pressure in the second round to compete for the place in the Champions League. Now, let's review yesterday's game and see which teams and players impressed us deeply.

First of all, we would like to mention Manchester United. They are one of the most popular teams in the Champions League play offs. They won 26, tied 8 and lost 4 in the Premier League last season. With 86 points, they ranked second in the Premier League and were qualified for the play offs. They made a big signing this summer. They have signed Harry Kane, Rushford, Sancho and other elite players, which has greatly improved the team's strength and is expected to compete for the Champions League in the new season. Their opponent in the first round of the Champions League play off is Turkey's Besiktas team. They took the lead 2-1 away from home, but they were equalized at the last moment by their opponents, drawing 2-2. Although they still retain the hope of promotion, they also make their situation more complicated. Ole Solskjaer, the head coach of Manchester United, said after the game that he was disappointed with the team's performance. He believed that the team did not play its own level in both attack and defense. He hoped that the team could change the situation in the home game of the second round, win the victory and qualify for the Champions League.

Secondly, we would like to mention that Inter Milan, another popular team in the Champions League play off, won the championship of Serie A with 28 wins, 7 draws and 3 losses in last season's Serie A league, ranking first in Serie A with 91 points. They made a modest introduction this summer. They have signed Lukaku, Eriksson, Barrera and other elite players, which makes the team's lineup stronger and is expected to compete for the Champions League title in the new season. Their opponent in the first round of the Champions League play off was Olympiacos of Greece. They took the lead at home 1-0, but in the second half, they scored two goals in a row and suffered a disastrous defeat of 1-2. They suffered the first defeat of this season, which also made their way to the promotion more difficult. Antonio Conti, the head coach of Inter Milan, said after the game that he was dissatisfied with the team's performance. He believed that the team did not display its own level in both attack and defense. He hoped that the team could show more fighting spirit and confidence in the next round of away games, and strive to reverse the opponent and advance to the Champions League.

Finally, we would like to mention a few players who showed their strength and potential in the first round of the Champions League play off and became the core and leaders of the team. They are:

• Torres of Besiktas, a Turkish international and a veteran of the Champions League, scored two goals in this game, one of which was a winner in the stoppage time stage, helping the team draw 2-2 with Manchester United and adding a glimmer of vitality to the team's promotion hopes.
• Hernandez of Olympiacos is Mexico's national player and a new star in the European Cup. He scored two goals in this game, one of which was the winner in the second half, helping the team beat Inter Milan 2-1, paving the way for the team's promotion.
• Harland of Ajax, an international of Norway and a prodigy of the Champions League, scored three goals and scored a hat trick in this game, helping the team win Porto 4-1, laying a solid foundation for the team to advance to the regular match.

The above is a wonderful review of the first round of this Champions League play off. We have seen the excellent performance of some teams and players, as well as the mistakes and regrets of some teams and players. They will continue to strive for their goals in the second round of the game. We look forward to the second round of the game, which will bring us more surprises and highlights.
