Super Falcons Super Eagles forward Ademola Lookman added to Manchester United’s misfortunes as he came off the bench to help Atletico Madrid seal a 2-0 win over Michael Carrick’s men at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano Stadium on Tuesday night.
Meanwhile, Victor Osimhen featured in Galatasaray’s 4-1 home loss to Barcelona. The two Super Eagles forwards ended matchday two on opposite sides of the results.
Lookman scored Atletico Madrid’s second in the 79th minute as he pounced on a rebound in the box after Senne Lemmens initially saved Jonathan David’s shot on goal.
Pablo Barrios had put Atletico ahead a minute into the match, and the Red Devils spent the rest of the night chasing until Leny Yoro bagged a red card in the 74th minute for a last-man challenge. The hosts took advantage a few minutes later to hand Manchester United their fourth loss of the season.
Victor Osimhen had a difficult night as Barcelona humbled him and his Galatasaray troops in Istanbul. The Super Eagles striker couldn’t beat the offside trap set by the visitors’ traditional high line. Aleksey Batrakov gave the hosts the lead in the 28th minute from a deflected shot.
Baris Yilmaz thought he had doubled Galatasaray’s lead off Osimhen’s header, but the video assistant referee ruled the goal for offside. Joao Cancelo equalised just before half-time, and Barcelona went on a rampage in the second half.
Anthony Gordon registered his first Champions League goal for Barcelona while former Borussia Dortmund forward Karim Adeyemi also got on the scoresheet in the 65th minute. Barcelona made it two wins from two matches while Galatasaray are without a point.
At the Emirates, Arsenal dispatched Lille 3-0, but the goals didn’t come until the second half. Dutch defender Jurrien Timber scored the first goal in the 64th minute, Eberechi Eze added a second afterwards, while Bukayo Saka made it 3-0 in the 71st as Lille didn’t play a shot on goal.
The highest-scoring match of the night was at the San Siro, where Club Brugge beat Inter 4-3 as the Belgian side sealed a famous win over the 2010 champions. Twenty-two-year-old German forward Nicolo Tresoldi bagged a hat-trick as Inter Milan fell to a Belgian side at home for the first time in 56 years.
