While Lille cracked against Arsenal (3-0) and Lens suffered the same fate a little earlier against Sporting (0-2), the results of this second day of the Champions League league phase held some surprises. Bayern Munich notably had to fight to snatch a point against the Norwegians of Viking FK (3-3). Inter Milan lost at home to Club Brugge (3-4).
For Bayern, there was first this disastrous first period with two goals conceded and a poor defense. Vincent Kompany also greatly reshaped his last line at the break. And his team moved forward. Double from Harry Kane to return to 2-2, then goal from Luis Diaz to take the advantage (2-3, 71st). And then Munich will be weighed down by Michael Olise.
The Frenchman will receive two yellow cards in quick succession and be sent off in the 73rd minute of play. A boon for the locals who will manage to snatch a draw by scoring a third and final goal at the dawn of stoppage time (3-3). In the provisional ranking, Bayern is fourth but should fall. Viking takes his first point.
Barça wakes up and temporarily takes the lead
For Inter Milan, the evening was even worse. A chase continues that the Nerazzurri ended up losing against Club Brugge (3-4). Visitors open the score, but Milan equalize. Two new achievements from the same Nicolo Tresoldi for a hat-trick. New response from Lautaro Martinez, author of a double. But another Bruges goal. And the final reduction in Inter’s score, signed by Ange Bonny, will be of no use.
When at FC Barcelona he conceded a first goal and almost went 2-0 down before the VAR indicated an offside on the Galatasaray side. Then, the Catalan infernal machine started. João Cancelo, Fermin Lopez, Anthony Gordon and Karim Adeyemi all found the target to sign a clear victory (1-4). Lamine Yamal, double decisive passer this evening, also allowed his team to find themselves first in the ranking. Other results of the evening, Villarreal overthrew Naples (2-1), RB Leipzig won at the last minute against PSV Eindhoven (1-0) and at the start of the evening, Sabah FC beat Slavia Prague (2-0).
