The supposedly strongest Champions League opponents from RB Leipzig and Borussia Dortmund suffered setbacks on matchday three. United lost a week after the 5: 0 against RB surprisingly 1: 2 (1: 2) at Basaksehir Istanbul, Lazio only got a 1: 1 (0: 1) at Zenit St. Petersburg.
Former Bundesliga professional Demba Ba (12th) scored the first goal for Basaksehir in the Champions League. Immediately after Edin Visca (40th) made it 2-0, who had already set Ba’s goal, Anthony Martial (43rd) hit back with a head for the English record champions.
Lazio, who won 3-1 against BVB on matchday one, had to do without former Dortmund striker Ciro Immobile in St. Petersburg. The media reported a possible connection with the Corona Protocol. Alexander Jerochin (32nd) gave the Russian champions Zenit the lead with a volley before Felipe Caicedo (82nd) equalized late. Zenit had lost both at BVB (0: 2) and against Club Bruges (1: 2).
