History for Viking as they secured their first point in Champions League league phase history in a 3-3 draw with Bayern Munich. While Bayern finished with 10 due to a moment of madness from Michael Olise throwing a ball in the face of a Viking player, Viking also went ahead 2-0 in the first half when Bayern were at full strength. They then drew level in stoppage time as Bayern have suffered their second consecutive draw, which Vincent Kompany will need to take a good look at.
Meanwhile, it wasn't a good day for Italian sides, with Inter and Napoli conceding crooked numbers and losing in matches that they'd have banked on getting points from, and It's going from bad to worse for Manchester United. Lenny Yoro was sent off in their 2-0 loss to Atletico Madrid, extending their winless run to five games in all competitions. It's a worrisome time for Michael Carrick as the Red Devils were never in the match.
Arsenal and Barcelona took care of business despite less-than-stellar starts in the first half, while RB Leipzig and Sporting CP secured valuable points. Sabah also entered the history books with their first-ever UCL win, knocking off Slavia Prague.
In stoppage time, we're level again! Bayern were defending well, but this may secure the first Champions League point in club history in impressive fashion.
Bayern went ahead, but Michel Olise threw the ball in the face of a Viking defender right in front of the referee, and Leny Yoro was also sent off for Manchester United before they conceded yet another goal to Atletico Madrid.
The man has been having a game and a half, and he has now added a hat trick for good measure. Alarm bells are ringing for Inter right now.
It was a pretty quiet first half in London, but those generally favor Arsenal, and today is no different. Three goals in seven minutes, and the Gunners will now be heading to cruise control. It's a lovely day when Timber, Eze, and Saka all find the back of the net.
What can you do, the man is unstoppable, and Bayern has finally grown into this one and will likely find a winner.
Lamine Yamal what have you done?! The Spanish winger just ran circles around Elmali. I don't know how he kept the ball in bounds, let alone played a perfect pass for Anthony Gordon to score. It's such an impressive feat for a guy who you're running out of superlitaves for.
It's quite a header from Fermin Lopez, as who else sets it up but Lamine Yamal. It really feels like Barcelona are conceding first just to make their games more interesting.
As expected, it's a triple change for Kompany as Saibari and Davies enter. Still plenty of time left, but you'd want a first goal sooner than later.
You can only hope to contain the attack for so long, and Joao Cancelo found space. Despite playing left back, he has now scored in three of his last four games for club and country. Feels like only a matter of time until Barcelona finds another.
40 minutes in, Bayern now trail 2-0 after Peter Christiansen has found the back of the net. The Bravarians have dominated possession, but they don't have much to show for it at this stage. Something may have to change at halftime, as this is largely the team which also drew Augsburg over the weekend.
Barcelona hasn't dealt with much adversity this season, but with Galatasaray going ahead, their road to perfection is in danger. Galatasaray thought they had a second but it was ruled out. Was the international break a bit too long?
Going ahead in eight minutes, great start. Allowing two goals in four minutes to lose that lead, not so much. This isn't going how Massimiliano Allegri would've liked, and while Napoli have had a tough time without Scott McTominay, this isn't a great start.
Having a chance to go ahead away from home, you've gotta take it, and despite getting a chance from the penalty spot and having Ivan Perisic there to take it, it will go as an opportunity wasted.
Bet you didn't see that coming! Champions League first-timers Viking win a corner against Bayern Munich and take full advantage of the opportunity, Gianni Stensnes scoring with a header two minutes in. It isn't hard to make the argument that Bayern could've done better - Stensnes's ball takes a bounce in front of goal before finding its way into the back of the net.
The late slate is underway as there are now seven consecutive matches going.
Man of the match: Giuliano Simeone - Atletico Madrid -- The Argentinian winger had a strong start to the new season with two goals scored and two assists delivered so far in all competitions and he's now one of the key players of the team led by his father Diego. Giuliano is expected to be a pivotal player on Tuesday as well when Atletico Madrid will host Manchester United at the Metropolitano. -- Francesco Porzio
Prediction: Atletico Madrid 2, Manchester United 2 -- The question heading into this one is whether or not Manchester United can break out of their midtable Premier League mode to string together a dominant performance against a European perennial and ... the answer might be no. United might be better than their domestic record suggests but they struggle to get out of trouble and seem destined for a deadlock with last season's semifinalists, who have their own up-and-down track record in the Champions League. -- Pardeep Cattry
It's all going wrong for Manchester United as even playing up a man they weren't able to get past Tottenham during the weekend and now the Red Devils face another tough test in Atletico Madrid away from home. Following their UCL win over Sabah, United have now failed to win in four consecutive matches while Michael Carrick's seat has to be getting warmer, and a loss in Madrid will continue a slide that he can't come back from.
Nine games into the season, World Cup winner Baena has already doubled his goal tally from year one at Atletico Madrid, and with 18 shots to his name, this is not a player who is afraid to pull the trigger. Nominally Atleti's left winger, Baena is free to switch flanks, step infield and just go where the move seems to take him. That might not sound very Diego Simeone-esque but when you have a talent like this on your hands, you make adjustments. -- James Benge
We have two games already underway as Sabah could be in line for their first ever Champions League victory, and Sporting CP continues to ride the wave of Luis Suarez. The Colombian striker has now become the outright leader in UCL goals in Sporting CP history as they club looks to continue to build on the good work that they've done in this competition over the years. The late games will bring their own fireworks, but so far the close matches early are a solid start.
