Atletico Madrid claimed an important UEFA Champions League victory over Manchester United at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano, with an early strike from Pablo Barrios and a late finish by Lookman settling the contest.

The result headlined an eventful night of league-phase action that also featured Barcelona’s comeback win over Galatasaray, Arsenal’s three-goal victory against Lille and a six-goal draw between Bayern Munich and Viking.

Lookman Seals Atletico Madrid’s Win After United Red Card

Atletico needed less than a minute to take the lead against Manchester United. Barrios finished a move inside the opening minute to put the Spanish side in front and leave the visitors chasing the game.

United had opportunities to restore parity. Bruno Fernandes came close with an effort that struck the crossbar, but Michael Carrick’s side could not find an equaliser.

The match shifted further in Atletico’s favour when United defender Leny Yoro was sent off after a video assistant referee review. The dismissal left the visitors with a numerical disadvantage during the closing stages.

Atletico took advantage in the 79th minute. Goalkeeper Senne Lammens saved an attempt from Jonathan David, but the rebound fell to Lookman, who finished to secure the 2–0 victory.

The goal capped an influential substitute appearance from the Nigerian forward and confirmed Atletico’s first win of the Champions League league phase.

Arsenal Beat Lille as Timber, Eze and Saka Score

Arsenal continued their strong start to the competition with a 3–0 victory over Lille at the Emirates Stadium.

The London side had to wait until the second half to break the deadlock. Jurrien Timber opened the scoring in the 64th minute before Eberechi Eze extended the advantage three minutes later.

Bukayo Saka completed the scoring in the 71st minute, helping Arsenal collect another three points.

The result gave Mikel Arteta’s side further momentum in the league phase, while Lille were unable to turn their defensive resistance into a positive result.

Barcelona Recover to Defeat Galatasaray 4–1

Barcelona produced an impressive comeback to beat Galatasaray 4–1 at Rams Park in Istanbul.

Aleksei Batrakov gave the Turkish hosts the lead, but Barcelona responded before half-time through Joao Cancelo.

The visitors then moved ahead after the interval as Fermin Lopez and Anthony Gordon scored in quick succession. Substitute Karim Adeyemi added a fourth goal to complete the victory.

The result maintained Barcelona’s winning start to the competition and demonstrated their ability to respond after falling behind away from home.

Bayern Munich Held to 3–3 Draw by Viking

Bayern Munich dropped points in Norway after Viking fought back to claim a 3–3 draw in an entertaining encounter.

Viking established a two-goal advantage through Gianni Stensness and Peter Christiansen, putting Bayern under pressure before the interval.

Harry Kane brought the German side back into contention after the break, converting a penalty before scoring again to level the match. Luis Diaz subsequently put Bayern ahead, completing their turnaround.

However, Bayern’s advantage did not last. Michael Olise was sent off, and Viking capitalised on the situation when Herman Haugen scored a late equaliser.

The draw denied Bayern all three points despite their recovery from two goals down.
