Jörg Biebernick, consejero delegado de Paulaner, sostiene una cerveza sin alcohol. No es traición alguna, sino logística. Su marca presume de haber sido la primera en lanzar una cerveza de trigo sin alcohol, en 1986, mucho antes de que nadie hablara de moderación. Ese es hoy uno de los pocos segmentos que crece, y mucho: en Alemania supone entre el 10% del mercado y crece a doble dígito; la cerveza de trigo cero cero crece un 37% este año fuera del país, y en enero llegará la lager cero cero. Biebernick no lo ve como cosa de jóvenes ni de mayores, sino de ocasiones. “Antes, si tomabas una cerveza en la comida, sabías que por la tarde no podías hacer deporte ni trabajar. Ahora la cero cero lleva la cerveza a sitios donde no estaba”. Y ya no es un estigma: “Antes eras el perdedor del día porque conducías. Ya no va de perdedores o ganadores, es tu decisión”. Bien mirado, es una frase que resume el estado actual de la cerveza en el mundo: un negocio de siglos que ha aprendido a dosificarse.
Declan Rice rescued Arsenal with a late equaliser in an electric 2-2 Champions League draw at Bayern Munich on Wednesday, while Real Madrid beat RB Leipzig 4-1 and Como handed Manchester United a bruising defeat by the same score.
Arsenal’s evening in Germany began ominously when Bukayo Saka limped out of the contest in the 10th minute, clutching his knee after falling while attempting a pass.
Fifteen minutes later, however, Eberechi Eze raced on to Martin Odegaard’s long ball and fired an angled shot past Manuel Neuer. Initially flagged offside, the goal was awarded following a VAR review.
Bayern replied in the 35th minute when Harry Kane released Alphonso Davies down the left with a through ball from halfway, the Canadian breaking clear before beating David Raya with a composed right-footed finish.
Kane put the hosts ahead from the penalty spot in the 61st minute after his shot struck Jurrien Timber’s raised hand, blasting his 58th Champions League goal into the roof of the net.
But Rice had the final say eight minutes from time, exchanging passes with Viktor Gyokeres inside the box before slotting past Neuer.
COURTOIS KEEPS REAL AFLOAT
At the Santiago Bernabeu, Real’s emphatic scoreline owed much to goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois, who denied Romulo’s close-range volley and thwarted Christopher Nkunku one-on-one before the hosts found their rhythm.
Bernardo Silva broke the deadlock in the 43rd minute, pouncing to tap home almost on the goalline after Leipzig goalkeeper Maarten Vandevoordt spilled Federico Valverde’s shot.
Arda Guler doubled the lead seven minutes after halftime, beating a defender to Kylian Mbappe’s goalbound header from Jude Bellingham’s cross.
Mbappe curled a shot into the top corner in the 83rd minute before Tidiam Gomis pulled one back a minute later. Substitute Yan Diomande capped Real’s victory with a spectacular volley from Brahim Diaz’s cross.
Elsewhere, Galatasaray won 4-2 at Lille, Inter Milan edged Shakhtar Donetsk 1-0, Aston Villa beat Viking Stavanger 3-1 and Real Betis beat Feyenoord 1-0, while LASK stunned Sporting 3-2 in Lisbon.
Paris St Germain, Aston Villa, Real Madrid, Liverpool and Real Betis top the standings having all made perfect starts to their Champions League campaigns, with three wins from three matches.
Inter Milan overcame Alessandro Bastoni’s dismissal to beat Shakhtar Donetsk, Carlos Augusto controlling Henrikh Mkhitaryan’s long pass in his stride before scoring the 77th-minute winner.
Bastoni had received a second booking eight minutes earlier for pushing an opponent away from the ball.
Aston Villa comfortably beat Norway’s Viking, Ross Barkley heading the opener from a corner before Emiliano Buendia converted a penalty and Alysson found the net with a deflected shot. Peter Christiansen struck Viking’s late consolation.
Isco’s 59th-minute penalty following a handball gave Real Betis victory over Feyenoord in Seville, while Club Brugge beat Lens 3-0 through goals from Hans Vanaken, Joaquin Seys and Carlos Forbs.
LASK stunned Sporting, recovering from Luis Suarez’s early penalty with goals from Christoph Lang, Sasa Kalajdzic and Krystof Danek. Suarez scored again in the 89th minute but the hosts could not salvage a point.
PAZ PUNISHES UNITED
Earlier, Nico Paz tormented Manchester United with two goals and an assist as Como swept to victory in northern Italy, while Galatasaray won a six-goal thriller at Lille.
Paz put Como ahead inside two minutes with a curling effort from the edge of the box, then helped double the lead four minutes after halftime, threading a perfectly weighted pass through for Anastasios Douvikas to finish first time past the advancing goalkeeper.
The Argentine then robbed Carlos Baleba near the right touchline and surged diagonally for more than 30 metres before steering a left-footed finish inside the far post.
Jacobo Ramon headed Como’s fourth from substitute Kaiki Bruno’s cross in the 76th minute, with Joshua Zirkzee grabbing United’s stoppage-time consolation from Amad Diallo’s delivery.
In France, Galatasaray recovered from surrendering an early lead to beat Lille 4-2.
Yunus Akgun fired the visitors ahead shortly after kickoff, but Soriba Diaoune equalised five minutes later and struck again in the 39th minute to put Lille in front.
Alexey Batrakov headed Galatasaray level in the 44th minute before Lucas Torreira appeared to glance home a corner in the 52nd, although the effort was later credited as a Nabil Bentaleb own goal.
Victor Osimhen completed the scoring nine minutes later with a powerful strike from the edge of the box.
Wednesday’s results:
Lille (2) 2 Galatasaray (2) 4 Como (1) 4 Manchester United (0) 1 Sporting CP (1) 2 LASK (1) 3 Aston Villa (2) 3 Viking (0) 1 Internazionale (0) 1 Shakhtar Donetsk (0) 0 Real Betis (0) 1 Feyenoord (0) 0 Real Madrid (1) 4 RB Leipzig (0) 1 Bayern München (1) 2 Arsenal (1) 2 Club Brugge (1) 3 Lens (0) 0

Los centrocampistas del Arsenal pesaron tanto como Harry Kane este miércoles en el Allianz Arena. El capitán inglés del Bayern frenó la corriente adversa y salvó a su equipo de un periodo de vulnerabilidad a causa de las bajas. Kane dio un pase de gol y marcó por décima jornada sucesiva en la Champions. Pero concluida la tercera jornada de liguilla el Bayern suma solo cinco puntos. El 2-2 aprieta al club bávaro y su próximo compromiso es su visita al Metropolitano.
German industry expects Russian sabotage against the country’s companies to persist and take more forms, the deputy head of the Federation of German Industries (BDI) told Handelsblatt. His warning follows alarms from Germany’s intelligence services, which describe the country as a main target of Russia’s covert campaign in Europe.
Russia keeps striking Ukrainian cities and power plants every day while trying to weaken the European support that keeps Ukraine fighting. Germany is home to arms makers producing with and for Ukraine, so pressure on its companies targets the supply behind Ukraine’s defense.
Industry expects attacks to last and change form
The warning came from Holger Lösch, the BDI’s deputy managing director.
“German industry is preparing for the threat to persist and for attack methods to become more varied,” he told Handelsblatt. “Companies don’t end up in the crosshairs by chance,” he added.
Russian influence and sabotage operations are no longer an abstract scenario, and companies, critical infrastructure, and defense supply chains are already among their targets, Lösch said. Companies now receive more threat warnings, and their cooperation with the authorities has improved significantly, he noted. “What is still missing are joint procedures to quickly derive concrete measures from warnings,” Lösch said, calling the protection of the economy a cornerstone of national security.
German intelligence describes a Russian shadow war
The warning comes a week after a public hearing of the intelligence oversight panel of the Bundestag, Germany’s parliament, on 5 October. There, Martin Jäger, head of Germany’s Federal Intelligence Service (BND), said Russia was waging a shadow war against Germany. “Germany has become a main obstacle to Russian hegemonic power projection in Europe and thus a target of Russian action,” Jäger said. “The danger of attacks against targets in Germany remains real and present,” he warned.
Sinan Selen, head of the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution (BfV), Germany’s domestic intelligence agency, told the same hearing that Russia was showing a readiness for sabotage and killings.
German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said on 1 October that Germany was preparing for further hybrid attacks, “including serious ones,” and would respond “quickly and very clearly,” as it did after the drone attack at Leipzig airport.
Drone bombs, arson, and paid saboteurs on German soil
In August, a drone carrying Semtex explosives hit the wing of a Ukrainian An-124 cargo plane at Leipzig/Halle Airport but did not explode. Germany blamed Russia on 1 September, and German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul said Germany was not at war with Russia but was a “target of war.”
German authorities suspect Russian intelligence of commissioning an arson attack near two Munich defense firms, and a confidential Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA) assessment counted more than 165 suspected sabotage cases in Germany between January and August. The same assessment recorded 747 suspicious drone incidents involving 1,068 drones over critical infrastructure, military sites, and defense companies.

The throwaway agents Moscow sent after a Bavarian drone boss arming Ukraine—and how Germany stopped them
Germany’s Military Counterintelligence Service (MAD) warns that the threat from low-level agents, locals paid small sums for one-off jobs such as arson or photographing military sites, has increased significantly. European intelligence agencies also report that Russia is increasingly targeting defense company executives, including at smaller drone makers, and the BfV has advised some German firms to hire close protection.
As long as Germany keeps backing Ukraine, Russian pressure on its companies is unlikely to ease, and the gap between warnings and action that industry flagged leaves smaller firms, with fewer resources for security, the most exposed.
