After 2 weeks of international break, the Champions League resumed its rights. On the program for the start of the 5th day, we notably found the summit match between Bayern and PSG. Two teams in dire need of points in this Champions League. And the meeting turned to the advantage of the Bavarians. Following an error by PSG’s Russian goalkeeper Safonov, Kim Min-jae scored the one and only goal of the match in the 38th minute of play.
PSG failed to react and the exclusion of Ousmane Dembélé after 56 minutes of play did not help matters. Bayern Munich made the right move and temporarily moved back to 12th place with 9 points, in a good position to reach the play-offs at least. On the other hand, the Parisians remain stuck at 4 points and are still in the red zone in 26th place.
Relive the live commentary:
Dn the other key match of the evening, Arsenal largely won against the Portuguese from Sporting Clube Portugal. Martinelli, Havertz, Gabriel, Saka and Trossard allowed the Gunners to win 1-5. Inacio reduced the score for the Portuguese.
Besides Trossard, another Belgian particularly stood out since Charles De Ketelaere was decisive 5 times in Atalanta’s 1-5 victory against Young Boys! It’s 100% for the Devil who was a double scorer and assisted for Retegui twice and for Kolasinac. Ganvoula scored the only Swiss goal.
In the other meetings, FC Barcelona did not fall into the trap of the surprising Brest team. Achievements from Lewandowski twice, his 100th and 101st goal in the Champions League, and from Olmo were enough to win 3 goals to 0.
Manchester City with Kevin De Bruyne for just over 20 minutes still can’t do it. While they led 3-0 after 53 minutes of play thanks to a double from Haaland and a goal from Gundogan, they were caught in the final minutes and conceded a 3-3 draw against Feyenoord. Gimenez, Moussa and Hancko are the scorers on the Dutch side and are the instigators of Feyenoord’s comeback.
We can also note the slap inflicted by Leverkusen on Salzburg 5-0 thanks to goals from Schik, Garcia, Grimaldo and Writz on two occasions.
Ray Red Devil, Leipzig traveled to Inter Milan with Loïs Openda the entire meeting and Arthur Vermeeren for 20 minutes. They could not avoid their team’s 1-0 defeat. It was Lukeba who scored an own goal.
Earlier in the evening, Axel Witsel’s Atletico Madrid was a hit by scoring 6 goals at Sparta Prague (Alvarez 2x, Llorente, Griezmann and Correa 2x). For their part, AC Milan scared themselves away at Slovan Bratislava but ultimately won 2-3 thanks to goals from Pulisic, Leao and Abraham.
