Tuesday night saw plenty of action across Europe as the UEFA Champions League second qualifying round kicked off with 13 matches. The outcomes were as dramatic as they were diverse — from a jaw-dropping 7-1 thrashing by Lech Poznań over Icelandic side Breidablik, to a goalless Balkan showdown between HNK Rijeka and Ludogorets Razgrad.

With the second legs scheduled for next week, most ties remain wide open. The battle for a coveted spot in the 2025/26 Champions League group stage is heating up, and for many clubs, the dream is still very much alive.
