Argo Division 1

AC Milan 2 - 2 Chelsea

AC Milan and Chelsea fought to a pulsating 2-2 draw in a game that saw the lead change hands and ended with shared points. R. Leão's early goal for Milan was quickly countered by H. Ziyech for Chelsea. S. Chukwueze's second-half goal seemed to have set Milan on course for victory, but R. Lukaku's strength and finishing ensured Chelsea returned with a point.


Aston Villa 0 - 1 Borussia Dortmund

A single goal by N. Füllkrug was enough to secure all three points for Borussia Dortmund in a narrow victory over Aston Villa. Despite several attempts from Villa to level the scoreline, Dortmund managed to hold firm and walk away with a clean sheet and a win.


Manchester United 1 - 3 Manchester City

Manchester City asserted their dominance in the derby with a convincing 3-1 win over rivals Manchester United. Goals from E. Haaland, P. Foden, and B. Silva set City well ahead, with United's sole response coming from D. Vlahović. City's attacking prowess was too much for United, who were left chasing shadows for much of the game.


SSC Napoli 1 - 1 Liverpool 

Napoli and Liverpool ended their encounter with a goal apiece, each earning a point in a tightly contested match. F. Carvalho put Liverpool ahead, but M. Politano's second-half equalizer for Napoli ensured the spoils were shared. Both teams showed resilience, but neither could find the decisive breakthrough.


Arsenal 2 - 1 Internazionale

Arsenal came from behind to defeat Internazionale 2-1, displaying character and determination. J. Correa gave Inter the lead, but Arsenal's D. Rice and G. Rodrygo turned the game on its head with goals in the second half. It was a gritty performance from the Gunners, who pushed for victory until the final whistle.


Paris Saint-Germain 3 - 1 Newcastle United

Paris Saint-Germain put on a stellar performance, downing Newcastle United with a 3-1 scoreline. Goals from M. Salah, O. Dembélé, and K. Mbappé showcased PSG's attacking flair, overshadowing M. Almirón's late consolation for Newcastle. PSG continued to show why they're serious contenders for the top spot in the league.


Barcelona 1 - 1 REAL MADRID

A classic clash ended in a 1-1 draw, with Salvatore Zerbo's Barcelona and REAL MADRID unable to edge out a win. R. Lewandowski's early goal for Barcelona was neutralized by L. Sané's late equalizer for Madrid. A fair result in a game where both teams had chances to take all three points.


Bayern München 1 - 0 Tottenham Hotspur

Bayern München snatched a late victory over Tottenham Hotspur thanks to H. Kane's strike in the final minutes. It was a game of few clear-cut chances, but Bayern's persistence paid off as they claimed a crucial win to move up the table, leaving Spurs to rue missed opportunities.
