Tuesday evening’s action

Sparta Prague 0-6 Atlético de Madrid

Atleti sealed an emphatic victory in Prague with a ruthless attacking display. Julián Alvarez struck either side of Marcos Llorente’s floating cross in each half (the first was a stunning free-kick), putting the visitors in control just before the hour mark.

Diego Simeone’s men showed no let-up as the match progressed, with substitute Antoine Griezmann marking his 100th UEFA Champions League appearance with a low finish and fellow substitute Ángel Correa scoring twice from close range in the space of four minutes late.
Player of the match: Julián Alvarez (Atlético de Madrid)

Slovan Bratislava 2-3 AC Milan

Christian Pulisic gave Milan a 21st minute lead, finishing confidently after meeting Tammy Abraham’s pass. The hosts leveled three minutes later, Tigran Barseghyan tapping the ball over Mike Maignan, but a string of second-half goals denied them their points in the first competition phase.

Rafael Leão restored the lead with a delicious drink of his own, before Tammy Abraham took advantage of David Strelec’s misplaced back pass. Substitute Nino Marcelli gave the home team hope with a fierce goal, but that hope was dented when Marko Tolić was subsequently sent off.

Young boys 1-6 Atalanta

Atalanta recorded a striking victory thanks to double play from Charles De Ketelaere and Mateo Retegui. Retegui scored with a fine finish, although the hosts equalized through Silvère Ganvoula’s header.

However, the team fell behind after quick goals from De Ketelaere and Sead Kolasinac and before half time it was 4-1 when Retegui pounced on a cross. De Ketelaere scored his second after the break, before Lazar Samardžić’s solo goal sealed the victory for the visitors.

Barcelona 3-0 Brest

Robert Lewandowski’s two goals – including his 100th in the UEFA Champions League – and Dani Olmo’s strike were the difference as Barcelona recorded their 11th consecutive home win in all competitions. Lewandowski broke the deadlock from the penalty spot to mark his century, before Olmo showed off his sublime footwork to add a second.

There was still time for Lewandowski to score another goal for Barcelona’s third in added time, expertly taking Alejandro Balde’s pass in his stride and coolly slotting home.

Bayern Munich 1-0 Paris Saint-Germain

Minjae Kim’s header saw Bayern extend their winning run without conceding seven games in all competitions. The Korean international nodded emphatically into the roof of the net after the Paris defense failed to clear Joshua Kimmich’s swirling ball from a corner.

Paris, who were reduced to ten men just before the hour mark after Ousmane Dembele’s dismissal for a second yellow card, could have fallen further behind had Matvei Safonov not used his fingertip to convert Jamal Musiala’s powerful strike onto the post.

Denzel Dumfries fired wide just after half-time, while Yann Sommer at the other end denied Antonio Nusa as the Nerazzurri recorded a fifth consecutive clean sheet in this season’s competition.

Manchester City 3-3 Feyenoord

Feyenoord came from 3-0 down, scored three late goals and achieved a remarkable point against City. A double from Erling Haaland and a deflected shot from İlkay Gündoğan had initially given the hosts complete control.

But Anis Hadj Moussa took advantage of a hesitant defense to give the visitors hope before Santiago Giménez tapped in to further reduce the deficit. That made for an exciting finish and Dávid Hancko caused a wild celebration when he headed in after an Igor Paixão cross.

Sporting came out with purpose after the break and got a goal back through Gonçalo Inácio, but Bukayo Saka’s penalty and Leandro Trossard’s header from a rebound completed Arsenal’s victory.
