**Champions League Review: Bayern Struggles While Raphinha and Pulisic Shine** In the latest round of Champions League action, two prominent teams faced challenges, while AC Milan has discovered a dependable performer. Here’s a look at the highlights and lowlights from the week’s matches. **VFB Stuttgart:** Last season, it was Stuttgart that finished second in the Bundesliga, trailing only the unbeaten champions Bayer Leverkusen. However, replicating that success has proven difficult for Sebastian Hoeness’s squad, currently sitting in 10th place in the German league. On Tuesday night in Turin, Stuttgart put on a dominant display against Juventus, who delivered their poorest performance under coach Thiago Motta and were left with 10 men after Danilo received a red card. Although Deniz Undav’s stunning first-half goal was disallowed by VAR, it seemed that Mattia Perin, who made a remarkable save against Enzo Millot’s penalty, would thwart Stuttgart’s efforts. Ultimately, it took a moment of creativity from El Bilal Touré to secure Stuttgart’s first Champions League victory this season, marking a significant achievement for a club returning to the competition after a 15-year absence.
