The difference-makers

Who scores the goals · Lille

Ayase Ueda 1 Alexsandro Ribeiro 1

Who scores the goals · Galatasaray

Aleksey Batrakov 1

Lille. Ayase Ueda and Alexsandro Ribeiro shoulder the scoring burden after accounting for the local output in the opening fixture. Without their contributions, reliance shifts to a squad lacking further continental goalscorers in the current campaign.
