European club football is back, with mouthwatering action and dynamite drama on seemingly every channel and in every ground across the continent. The Premier League, LaLiga, the Bundesliga, Serie A and Ligue 1 all had matchups worth rehashing.

have won just two of their last 13 games in the Premier League. They eased their relegation fears with their 4-0 win over Nottm Forest but they followed that up

Arrival:

SV Werder showed real quality in the first half and created some great chances on the counter, but they just couldn’t get a goal before the break. Freiburg improved in the second half and dominated the game towards the end, with Maximilian Philipp scoring the winning goal in the sixth minute of added time, despite Jiri Pavlenka’s strong efforts to stop him.

Maybe you like it, maybe you do not after Pavard’s brace against FC Augsburg last weekend, but one thing is certain — Bayern Munich loves what it is seeing from the versatile Frenchman and is reportedly looking to extend the contract of the 26-year-old:

Head coach Christian Streich made three changes to his starting XI, as Nicolas Höfler returned following his suspension. Ritsu Doan replaced Michael Gregoritsch in attack, with Kiliann Sildillia coming in for the injury Christian Günter. After undergoing surgery on a broken arm previously, the captain re-broke the same arm during training this week and will be sidelined for the foreseeable future. Vincenzo Grifo donned the armband in his stead, as SC kept the opponents busy with several chances from Roland Sallai, Doan and Grifo.

Frank Schmidt began his coaching career with then fourth-tier 1. FC Heidenheim in September 2007, winning his first five games in the dugout. His first defeat as a coach came on 27 October. The venue for that match was Sportzentrum Zuzenhausen and the opponents were the TSG Hoffenheim second team. Heidenheim lost 4-1 in front of 350 spectators. It was one of only four defeats in 28 league games throughout the then 33-year-old’s debut campaign as a coach.
