During the 6th day of the league phase of the Champions League (6/8), which was played this Tuesday, the logic was more or less respected. Real Madrid traveling to Atalanta won the necessary 3 points (2-3), like Paris Saint Germain who brought home a big victory (3-0) from Salzburg, and Bayern Munich who largely won against Shakhtar Donetsk (5-1). On the other hand, PSV Eindhoven fell away to Brest (1-0).
PSG has therefore given itself a little breathing room, and is breathing a little better in the Champions League. Luis Enrique’s team finally won a second victory and temporarily moved up to 24th place (the last qualifier for the play-offs) two days before the end of the league phase. In Austria, Gonçalo Ramos put the Parisians on the right track (30th), before goals from Nuno Mendes (72nd) and Désiré Doué (85th).
In Italy, Real Madrid revived by beating Atalanta 3 to 2, in a match marked by Kylian Mbappé, first scorer (10′), then left due to injury (36′).
After two scathing defeats, at home against AC Milan (3-1) and at Liverpool (2-0), the reigning European champions won thanks to goals from Mbappé (10th), Vinicius (56th ) and Jude Bellingham (59th), while Atalanta equalized through Charles De Ketelaere from the penalty spot (45+2nd), then reduced the score thanks to Ademola Lookman (65th).
For its part, Bayern Munich scored a third consecutive victory in the Champions League by winning largely against Shakhtar Donetsk (5-1).
Trailing from the fifth minute, the Bavarians reacted perfectly thanks to goals from Laimer, Müller, Olise (double) and Musiala, to offer themselves their first away success in C1, after two defeats at Aston Villa and Barcelona. Bayern remains well placed for qualification with 12 points.
Less fortunate, the Dutch PSV Eindhoven fell in Brest (0-1). Two weeks after its defeat at Barcelona, Stade Brestois has resumed its march forward in the Champions League and temporarily moved up to fifth place in the league phase.
After being saved several times by Marco Bizot in the first period, the Brestois opened the scoring thanks to Julien Le Cardinal just before the break (43rd), before brilliantly resisting the attacks of the Dutch until the final whistle.
