Welp, another weekend of European football is over and, as is usually the case, it was a good one. Or bad one if you’re a fan of Manchester United or Liverpool. But it was at least an interesting one.
Saturday produced enough talking points to solve the energy crisis, as both Manchester United and Manchester City lost, Tottenham overcame Liverpool in controversial fashion, and Real Madrid thumped Cinderella story Girona to take top spot in LaLiga.
Elsewhere, Bayern Munich fought back for a valuable point at RB Leipzig, and on Friday night, a longtime Real Madrid star helped his rivals, Barcelona, to victory against Sevilla.

Sunday didn’t offer quite the same level of match-ups, but there were some notable results, including a pair of thrilling comeback wins for Atletico Madrid against Cadiz in LaLiga and Manchester United against Aston Villa in the Women’s Super League.

Here is your look back at all the fun from Sunday and Saturday.
