Big teams insulted this week

All across Europe, some big teams faced shocking and unexpected defeats. Let's take a look at them.

1] Levante vs FC Barcelona (5:4)

This fixture has been the talk of the week. Barcelona, having won the domestic double, went into this one as the clear favorites. What everyone witnessed was a shambolic performance by Barcelona's defence, allowing Levante's Emmanuel Boateng and Enis Bardhi to attack at will. Countinho looked like the only one in the Barcelona squad who seemed awake during the game. A complete thriller, this game saw 2 hat tricks, one from Emmanuel Boateng and one from Phillipe Countihno. Adding insult to injury, the loss also resulted in Barcelona's remarkable unbeaten streak coming to an end. Ah, at last there's something Real Madrid fans can smile about!

2] FC Bayern Munchen vs VfB Stuttgart (1:4)

When you've won the Bundesliga for the 6th consecutive year, and your legendary coach is having the final game of his career, few would expect you to lose in such fashion. It was a total horror show for Jupp Heynckes's men at the Allianz Arena as Bayern went down 1:4 to newly promoted Stuttgart. Bayern's defense was too laid back during the entire game.Stuttgart's Daniel Ginczek and Anastasios Donis delivered a stellar performance with 3 goals and 2 assists between them. Lewandowski selflessly sacrificed an opportunity for Corentin Tolisso, who scored the only goal for Bayern.

3] Newcastle vs Chelsea (3:0)

The Premier League champions of last season have hardly had a season to remember. Opening the season with a shock loss to Burnley, Chelsea have been constantly under fire for not being able to get their game straight. They managed just 6 shots, comparing to Newcastle's 16. Although Chelsea enjoyed 60% of the possession, they failed to make it count. Ayoze Perez scored 2 of Newcastle's 3 goals. With that defeat, there will be no Champions League football next season for Chelsea. Not the way you expect to end a campaign!

4] Paris Saint-Germain vs Rennes (0:2)

In what was supposed to be Thiago Motta's and Unai Emery's last game for the Parisians, Paris faced a first home defeat in 42 league games as Rennes went home with a 0:2 win. The first half was intense, with Paris enjoying most of the possession. Angel Di Maria nearly put the home side in the lead, but the effort from distance ricocheted off the upright. Into the second half, Rennes was awarded a penalty, which Benjamin Bourigeaud happily scored. Adrien Hunou scored the second, ensuring all 3 points for the away side.
