The shock of the night came in Italy, where Como 1907 wrote themselves into Champions League folklore with a stunning 4-1 rout of visiting Manchester United FC. Under torrential rain at the Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia, the debutants powered to a 4-0 lead, inspired by Nico Paz’s brace and goals from Tasos Douvikas and Jacobo Ramon. The result deepens the crisis for Manchester United FC, who could only manage a late consolation through Joshua Zirkzee, extending their winless run and piling pressure on manager Michael Carrick. Cesc Fabregas’s side, meanwhile, savored a historic, statement-making night.
Elsewhere, Real Madrid CF continued their perfect start with a commanding 4-1 win over RB Leipzig. New signing Bernardo Silva opened his account, and further goals from Arda Guler and Kylian Mbappé showcased the hosts’ attacking power. Yan Diomande added a spectacular volley against his former club, sealing the win and reaffirming Real Madrid CF’s status as frontrunners under Jose Mourinho. For the visitors, an early fight faded as the Spanish giants took control after the break.
There was no shortage of drama in France, where Galatasaray SK came from behind to defeat Lille OSC 4-2. Victor Osimhen returned to haunt his old club with a stunning second-half strike, earning Man of the Match honors while showing respect by not celebrating. The victory lifts the Turkish champions and injects new life into their campaign. In England, Aston Villa FC maintained their flawless run with a 3-1 win over Viking FK, with Ross Barkley and Emiliano Buendia leading the charge and a Henrik Heggheim own goal putting the match out of reach.
Elsewhere, Club Brugge KV earned a comfortable 3-0 win over Racing Club de Lens, their sixth straight victory in all competitions, while Sporting Clube de Portugal suffered a dramatic 3-2 home defeat to LASK Linz—a result that tightens the group and ends Sporting’s perfect start. FC Internazionale Milano and Real Betis Balompié each secured narrow 1-0 home wins over FK Shakhtar Donetsk and Feyenoord Rotterdam respectively, while FC Bayern München and Arsenal FC played out a 2-2 draw, with the visitors rallying from behind but losing Bukayo Saka to injury.
With upsets, historic milestones, and dominant performances, the Champions League’s league stage continues to deliver compelling storylines. As the dust settles, the race for knockout qualification looks tighter and more unpredictable than ever.
