Barca

Manchester United are once again hapless, Gabriel Jesus is in high gear for Arsenal and LaLiga kicks off: It's ESPN's weekend review.

Jesus also registered two assists -- for Granit Xhaka and Gabriel Martinelli -- as the Gunners maintained their 100% record at the start of the season with a 4-2 win at Emirates Stadium on Saturday. They created lots of chances at the weekend with an expected goal of 2.57 and 24 shots, 10 on target, but could not finish. Bayer Leverkusen were so entertaining last season, scoring for fun, with Patrik Schick and Moussa Diaby taking the Bundesliga by storm, and Gerardo Seoane got a lot of things right for his first season at the club. Mikel Merino's pass was sublime, and Kubo's brilliant touch and finish on his debut gave La Real a hard-fought 1-0 win away at Cadiz to open the season with three points. The 21-year-old showed glimpses of his potential on loan at Mallorca, but moves to Villarreal and Getafe didn't work out so well. It was a typical Lukaku finish with his eye for goal and his anticipation in the box. But here was a new chapter, and with Spurs harboring aims under Conte to close the gap on the Premier League's finest sides, it might be set to run and run. It took Romelu Lukaku 81 seconds to score on his return to Internazionale. The goal in itself was nothing special. You only have to look at the players brought in and the other names linked with moves to see that Ten Hag has been central to United's recruitment this summer, and Martinez's performance at Brentford does not reflect well on the new manager. Barca had, as expected, dominated large parts of the match against a side they lost against twice last term, registering over 20 shots on goal, but it looks like it may take time for their new arrivals to click. There was something familiar about Real Madrid's LaLiga opener at Almeria on Sunday: a dramatic 2-1 comeback win, with the champions fighting back from a goal down to claim all three points. Twice, they had to be separated by players and staff from both clubs, the second time after a handshake during which Tuchel took umbrage at Conte's lack of eye contact.
