Inter Milan beat Arsenal 1-0 in the clash of the evening. FC Barcelona easily beat Red Star Belgrade (2-5). Here are the results of the evening.
Inter will have trembled against Arsenal
It was the shock of the evening. Inter Milan emerged victorious in the match between them and Arsenal (1-0). A penalty from Turk Hakan Calhanoglu just before half-time was enough for the Interists. Despite the entries of Nwaneri and Gabriel Jesus, Mikel Arteta's men failed to break through the Milanese barrier. Inter Milan are currently 5th in the group stage standings and Arsenal 12th.
FC Barcelona on a stroll in Belgrade
FC Barcelona did not have to exert its talent against Red Star Belgrade. Inigo Martinez opened the scoring (13th) before Silas equalized for the Serbian team following an error by the Catalan defense. A double from Lewandowski (43rd, 53rd), a goal from Raphinha (55th) and Fermin (76th) will complete Barça's new show of strength. The Catalans now have the best attack in the competition and are in sixth place in the standings.
Kompany and Bayern reassure themselves against Benfica
After the defeat against FC Barcelona on the last day, Bayern Munich was obliged to raise their heads against Benfica. Mission accomplished for the Bavarians who escaped with the smallest of margins (1-0) thanks to a goal after the hour mark from Jamal Musiala on a cross from Harry Kane (67th). Bayern obtains its second victory of the season in C1 and moves up to 17th place in the standings, just ahead of Real Madrid and their evening opponent.
Atalanta is still undefeated
We tend to forget it, but the last winner of the Europa League also had a very good C1 campaign. Gian Piero Gasperini's players are still undefeated and have yet to concede a goal since the start of the competition. This evening, the executioners are Ademola Lookman (55th) and Nicolo Zaniolo (88th). The two attackers allowed Atalanta Bergamo to win their second match of the season in C1 as well as climb to 9th place in the ranking at the end of this 4th day.
In the other matches of the evening, Feyenoord Rotterdam lost 3-1 against RB Salzburg, who scored their first goals and won their first points of the season. Brest beat Sparta Prague 2 goals to 1 and PSG lost by the same score against Atletico Madrid in the very last seconds of the game.
