UEFA Champions League 2018: 3 flops from Matchday one

Liverpool v Paris Saint-Germain - UEFA Champions League Group C
Neymar went missing for PSG in their match against Liverpool

#3 Dani Parejo

Valencia v Juventus - UEFA Champions League Group H
Disappointing performance from Dani considering the circumstances

When your team is in the same group as the likes of Juventus and Manchester United you need all the help possible to get things going your way.

When Cristiano Ronaldo was sent off in what was a very debatable decision by the ref, Valencia and their captain seemed to have gotten the help they needed.

Parejo is a brilliant passer of the ball and an able leader of this new-look attacking Valencia side.

Instead of capitalizing on the circumstances he lead his team into producing a timid performance littered with mistakes.

He conceded the penalty to make it 1-0 to Juventus, was yellow carded, produced a really bad captain's performance and capped off the night with a missed penalty to top things off. He will have to improve if his team have to progress to the knockout stages.
