UEFA Champions League 2019-20: Three most stunning results of the group stages

#2 Chelsea 4-4 Ajax

Chelsea FC v AFC Ajax: Group H - UEFA Champions League

After beating Ajax by a goal at the Johan Cruyff Arena, Frank Lampard's men welcomed them to Stamford Bridge for the reverse fixture in matchday 4. Both teams were the favourites to qualify for the knockout phase of the competition and were competing to finish at the top of the group.

Erik Ten Hag's side made a sensational start to the game and opened the scoring inside the first two minutes. However, the Blues didn't take much time to equalise, with Jorginho scoring from the spot to put his level with the visitors. The visitors scored twice before the half-time to gain a comfortable 2-goal cushion. Donny Van de Beek's goal in the second half looked like the final nail in the coffin for the Blues, however, the game was just about to turn on its head. Cesar Azpilicueta slashed Ajax's lead by two before both Daley Blind and Joel Veltman were successively sent off, leaving the visitors with just 9 men on the pitch with more than 20 minutes of football still left to play. Lampard's men grabbed the opportunity with both hands and levelled the scoreline with two quickfire goals. They almost won the game when Azpilicueta rolled the ball into the opposition net, but the goal was disallowed by the VAR.

Given the plethora of young, explosive talents on the pitch, many expected an expansive attacking display from both sides. However, nobody expected the game to pan out the way it did and the 4-4 scoreline, in the end, might have come as a surprise to many of the football fans around the globe.

#1 Tottenham Hotspurs 2-7 Bayern Munich

Tottenham Hotspur v Bayern Muenchen: Group B - UEFA Champions League

Tottenham's 7-goal humiliation at the hands of Bayern Munich remains the most shocking result of this season's Champions League so far. After a 2-2 draw against Olympiacos away from home in their first game of the Champions League campaign, Mauricio Pochettino's side welcomed high-flying Bayern Munich in matchday 2. Despite their domestic struggles, Spurs were expected to produce a good performance against the Bavarians.

They started the game incredibly well and drew first blood, with Heung-Min Son scoring at the 12th-minute mark. However, they failed to hold on to the advantage and conceded just 3-minutes after. Robert Lewandowski's goal at the stroke of half-time gave the Bavarians the lead, but it seemed like a very even game going into the half-time.

However, Nico Kovac's men blew the Spurs out of the park with their second-half performance. Lewandowski completed his brace and former Arsenal forward Serge Gnabry scored 4 times in the second half to hand the Lillywhites their worst-ever defeat.
