Champions League: Atlético leave PSG in trouble as Musiala revives Bayern | Champions League

Paris Saint-Germain‘s disappointing Champions League campaign continued on Wednesday as they fell to a last-gasp 2-1 home defeat by Atlético Madrid which left the Ligue 1 leaders in the elimination zone.

Warren Zaïre-Emery’s opener was quickly canceled out by Nahuel Molina in the first half of a largely disappointing game which ended with Ángel Correa slotting home the winner three minutes into added time.

On four points from as many games, PSG are 25th in the 36-team league, six points behind fellow Ligue 1 sides Monaco and Brest, while Atléti moved out of the red zone with six points.

PSG next travel to Bayern Munich and RB Salzburg and they were again left to rue their missed chances.

“We tried and tried, right up until the last minute,” PSG midfielder Vitinha said. “Unfortunately we conceded a goal on their last chance. Would it be easier with a real center forward? Well, you never know. That’s our game plan. We’ll get better at it.”

Bavaria bounced back from their 4-1 defeat at Barcelona in their previous Champions League match with a 1-0 home win against Benfica courtesy of Jamal Musiala’s header. The German midfielder scored from close range in the 67th minute. Bayern had dominated the match and missed several chances before breaking the deadlock. The result lifts Bayern into 17th place with Benfica, who were toothless in attack, also on six points in 19th.

Robert Lewandowski struck twice as Barcelona cruised to a 5-2 win against Red Star Belgrade in Serbia. The Polish forward scored his 17th and 18th goals of the season in his 16th game to get his 98th in the Champions League as Barçca won seven straight in all competitions. Red Star striker Silas canceled out Iñigo Martínez’s header, but Lewandowski restored Barça’s lead before the break and added his second before Raphinha and Fermín López shined on the goal line. Milson added a late consolation but Barça’s third straight win in this season’s revamped competition lifted them up to sixth.

Brest‘s impressive start to life in the Champions League continued as they won 2-1 at Sparta Prague. Edimilson Fernandes put Brest in control and Kaan Kairinen’s own goal gave them breathing room before Victor Olatunji scored Sparta’s consolation on the stroke of half-time.

Second half goals from Ademola Lookman and Nicolò Zaniolo Atalanta a 2-0 win at Stuttgart and the Italian side are still yet to concede a goal in this season’s competition. The opener came in the 51st minute when Lookman tapped in a cross from Charles De Ketelaere and as the home side struggled to find a way through, Zaniolò hit the decisive second two minutes from time. The defeat ended Stuttgart’s impressive home record of not losing a game in any competition for more than a year, while Atalanta are now unbeaten in their last eight matches.

RB Salzburg recorded their first win, 3-1 with 10 men Feyenoord. Karim Konate scored either side of the interval for Salzburg before VAR upgraded Feyenoord midfielder Chris-Kévin Nadje’s yellow card to red. The home side hit back through Anis Hadj-Moussa, but Daouda Guindo restored Salzburg’s two-goal advantage.

The Ukrainian Champions, Shakhtar Donetskregistered their first win, 2-1 against Young boys in a ‘home’ tie in Gelsenkirchen. Young Boys are among the current bottom five clubs, having lost all of their first four games.
