Yesterday was Mexico's independence day, so after seeing the parade I took advantage of my day off to see the start of a new Champions league season with Real Madrid facing Olympique Marseille over a few beers.
It was a good match with Real Madrid winning 2-1, after going 0-1 down on a great goal by Timothy Weah (whose father George had incidentally scored for PSG against Real Madrid in 1994). Real Madrid equalised on a penalty kick taken by Kylian Mbappe. A correct penalty in my view, but a pity for a well-playing Marseille. In the second half Real Madrid put more pressure, but Marseille held well, and it was only a penalty gift from the referee, on one of those "handballs" that should never have been given. Kylian Mbappe made it 2-1 again, and Real Madrid starts with a win with referee help...
