In September 2015 on the eve of Yom Kippur, European football in Europe witnessed one of the greatest performances of a player ever when Robert Lewandowski scored a five-pointer in 9 minutes in Bayern Munich's 1: 5 win over Wolfsburg.

The Israelis who could not watch the game finished their fast and did not believe the headlines so much.

They had to see the summary of the game more than once to understand what and how the Polish striker did what he did.

Yesterday (Sunday) while Israel was even more silent, beyond what happens on normal days in the days of closure, European football continued to exist and we witnessed quite a few great moments that will make you go looking for them on the nets.

Spanish League, Round 3: Barcelona - Villarreal 0: 4

After the turbulent summer that dealt with the desire to leave Lionel Messi, the appointment of Ronald Koeman as Kika Stein's replacement and in light of the fans 'protests against the incumbent president, Joseph Bartomeu, on the grass the vice - champions' players put everything aside.

For the Yellow Submarine it was the third game this season in the league, for Barça who got a rest after finishing last season late, it was the first game.

Fatigue we did not really see from Messi and his friends. 

Already after 20 minutes Anso Patti, the wonder boy of world football has scored a double, with the other coming from a wonderful cooking by Filipe Coutinho.

Patty also failed on the field as Messi scored the third from the spot and a Pau Lopez own goal ended the game already in the half.

Rarely and amazingly it took time for Messi to get into things and the flea touched the first 20 minutes of the game just 6 times on the ball, he gave Coutinho his place in midfield and the Brazilian played as he knows from the position he loves so much. 

In "Marca" they analyzed Coman's official debut and cheered hugely.

"Barcelona is different. Koeman gave this team a facelift. Barcelona are pushing high to snatch balls, and the pace of the game is completely different," it was written.

After the wheel has turned on Barcelona in recent years it seemed yesterday that she had stopped thinking she had invented it.

Although if you look at the next section it seems that it has not completely passed her by.

Spanish League, Round 3: Atletico Madrid - Grande 1: 6

Also for the Colchoneros it was the first game of the season in the league when the guest, Grande, came with a perfect balance after 2 rounds.

There has been quite a bit of talk over the past week about Luis Suarez's move from Barcelona to Diego Simeone's side.

Messi criticized the Barça management, his friends at the locker room at Camp Nou dedicated posts to him on the networks and thanked him for the 6 years together but even the most optimistic in 'Metropolitano' did not believe that this would be how his debut would end.

That the 33-year-old Uruguayan striker will be able to influence the game in general and Atleti's attack in particular so quickly. 

Suarez who was introduced just a few days ago opened on the bench and saw Diego Costa (9), Angel Correa (47) and Zhou Felix (65) give a play.

And when Luisito sees a show there is no chance he will not want to attend it.

Simeone put him on the grass in the 70th minute and in just 23 minutes he managed to add cooking to Diego Jornet and score his own double (85, 90 + 3).

If there is anyone who can take Diego Simeone's gray playing style and turn it into something so powerful in an instant it's Suarez.

"The players received me excellently and that's the basis for everything. I want to thank everyone. Sometimes it's important for a player to make a career change. I came to the club that welcomed me with open arms."

Said Suarez after the game.

Diego Costa, who is considered just like the Uruguayan hot-tempered striker joked after the game.

"It's great, one bites and the other kicks," he said.

"We'm lucky he's here."

Premier League, Round 3, Manchester City - Leicester 5: 2

28% ball possession and 7 kicks per frame were enough for the Foxes already in the third round of the season to provide an unforgettable game.

Brandon Rogers' team was reminiscent of Leicester of the 2016 championship season.

Shut up from behind and went out for lethal outbursts.

Riyad Mahraz, who was part of that championship, still put the Citizens ahead early (4) but then he and his teammates fell apart in the face of the power and character of the guest.

The unending Jeremy Vardy equalized with a penalty (37), completed a double (54) and finished off a great hat-trick (58) with another penalty.

James Madison (77) raised Leicester to 1: 4, Nathan Akka (84) shrank and another penalty, the third in the game of Yuri Tailmans (84) set the final score - 2: 5.

Pep Guardiola opened the season last year with a huge loss of points that caused Liverpool to sail to a historic championship after 30 years.

If he does not want the script to repeat itself this season as well, he needs to change something.

The search for a brake has apparently come to an end with the addition of Ruben Diaz from Benfica but that is not the only thing Guardiola should lean on.

If you hear his words after the game, it is very possible that he needs to make a big change in him personally as well.

"They did not want to play, they defended so deeply and just wanted explosive attacks," said the Spaniard.

"They won at the first opportunity they had and they got 3 penalties so it was very difficult for us. Our inability to create opportunities made us nervous and scared," he added.

As the man who invented a new football philosophy just 11 years ago, Pep needs to find a way to play even against teams that shut down his players for almost 90 minutes.

Bundesliga, Round 2, Hoffenheim - Bayern Munich 1: 4

Right.

Bayern Munich only won the European Super Cup last Thursday and completed a fourth title for 2020 when it becomes the best team in the world in recent months.

True, Hennessy Flick decided to give a rest without a few car players to rest for the extra Super Cup this week against Dortmund (Wednesday), but no one in the Bavarian Empire thought the 23-game winning streak would end so early and actually against Hoffenheim.

Monas Dabour went through a difficult season last year.

After being sold from Salzburg to Sevilla and not given a chance in Spain, he arrived in Germany and suffered a serious injury that sidelined him for several months.

An injury that fortunately he was able to recover from during the forced corona break across Europe and as it looked yesterday he recovered in the best way possible.

Dabour saw his friend, Armin Bitchekcic (16) occupy the first and then came the big moment of the Israeli national team striker.

He got the ball by chance after a mistake in Bayern's defense, galloped towards the champion's goal and bounced elegantly over one of the best goalkeepers in the world, Manuel Neuer (24).

Yozoe Kimich (36) gave hope to the guest but Andrei Kramaric, Hoffenheim's most important man completed a pair (77, 90 + 1) and raised the score to an unforgettable 1: 4 as Hoffenheim is currently ranked first in the table.

"Before the game started, I thought if I got into a one - on - one situation, I would try to make a chip. I thought about it before the game. I'm glad I got the chance and glad the ball came in," Dabour said at the end.
