The UEFA Champions League resumed with thrilling matches following the conclusion of the FIFA international break last week.
Atletico Madrid, Arsenal, Bayer Leverkusen, Barcelona, and Atalanta scored five or more goals, overpowering their opponents during the match day five.
Arsenal stunned Sporting with a 5-1 win, with five different goal scorers: Gabriel, Gabriel Martinelli, Bukayo Saka, Kai Havertz, and Leandro Trossard. Gabriel, the defender, had an excellent showing, denying Swedish sensation Viktor Gyökeres any opportunities in front of goal.
Barcelona returned to winning ways after struggling in their recent La Liga matches, where they were held to a 2-2 draw by Celta Vigo and defeated by Real Sociedad.
The La Liga front-runners secured a 3-0 victory, with Robert Lewandowski scoring a brace to mark his 100th UCL goal. Dani Olmo also delivered a sublime performance, helping Barcelona retain their momentum in the Champions League.
Sparta Prague was left in shambles on their home turf by a resilient Atletico Madrid, who dominated the Czech club with a colossal 6-0 victory. Angel Correa and Julian Alvarez each scored a brace, while Antoine Griezmann and Marcos Llorente added a goal.
Atalanta soared high on Matchday 5 of the UEFA Champions League, putting six past a vulnerable Young Boys side in Switzerland. Belgian star Charles De Ketelaere was involved in five of Atalanta’s six goals. Ademola Lookman was an unused substitute, with no explanation provided.
Feyenoord broke Manchester City’s hearts yet again, coming back from 3-0 down to neutralize Erling Haaland’s brace and İlkay Gündoğan’s lone goal in the final minutes of a dramatic tie. This marks Manchester City’s sixth game without a win, following five consecutive defeats and a draw tonight.
Bayern Munich edged past PSG with a lone goal scored in the first half by Min-Jae Kim. Despite PSG maintaining composure with 43% possession and 11 goal attempts, the French champions were unable to breach Bayern Munich’s defense by full time.
