Atalanta Bergamo’s first victory in this Champions League season was overshadowed by the injury to German national soccer player Robin Gosens. The full-back was replaced after eleven minutes in the 1-0 win against Swiss champions Young Boys Bern on Wednesday evening.
He was injured without any external influence, but there is still no diagnosis. It is therefore questionable whether the 27-year-old Gosens can be nominated for the international matches against Romania (October 8) and North Macedonia (October 11) in the World Cup qualification. National coach Hansi Flick wants to announce his squad on Friday.
The winning goal in the Bergamo game, which was led by the German referee Felix Brych, scored Matteo Pessina (68th). The ball crossed the line once in the first half, but Sandro Lauper’s own goal was not recognized. Atalanta captain Rafael Toloi was offside.
The Bernese, trained by ex-Schalke coach David Wagner, surprised Manchester United with a 2-1 home win on matchday one, Bergamo had separated from FC Villarreal 2-2.
In addition, Zenit St. Petersburg prevailed 4-0 against Malmö FF from Sweden. Claudinho brought the Russian home side in the front (9th), before Daler Kusjajew (49th), Alexei Sutormin (80th) and Wendel (90th +4) made things clear.
The sovereign performance was favored by a dismissal against Anel Ahmedhodzic, who wanted to prevent a counterattack with his hands.
Cristiano Ronaldo has set the next record in the Champions League. The football professional from Manchester United stood on Wednesday evening in a 2-1 (0-0) against Villarreal for the 178th time in the highest European competition and crowned his appearance with the winning goal in the fifth minute of stoppage time.
Record for Ronaldo
He had previously shared the record with former Spanish top goalkeeper Iker Casillas. After the 1: 2 opening defeat at Swiss champions Young Boys Bern and the intermittent goal by Paco Alcacer (53rd), the record scorer and United were under pressure on the second match day. Alex Telles initially equalized (60th), before Ronaldo, pale for long stretches, struck.
FC Barcelona is still in crisis. With the 0: 3 (0: 1) defeat at Benfica Lisbon, which Darwin (3rd / 79th / penalty) and Rafa (69th) sealed, the situation for coach Ronald Koeman is becoming more and more precarious. The Catalans had already lost their first game 3-0 against FC Bayern Munich, who defeated Dynamo Kiev 5-0 (2-0) in the parallel game in Group E, and are also weak in the Spanish league.
To make matters worse, Eric Garcia also saw the yellow-red card (87.) In the top match in Group H, Juventus Turin won 1-0 (0-0) against defending champion Chelsea. The Italian European champion Federico Chiesa surprised the Londoners seconds after the restart. Zenit St. Petersburg beat Malmö FF from Sweden 4-0 (1-0).
Claudinho brought the home side in the front (9th), before Daler Kusjajew (49th), Alexei Sutormin (80th) and Wendel (90th +4) ensured clear conditions. The sovereign performance was favored by a dismissal against Anel Ahmedhodzic, who wanted to prevent a counterattack with his hands (53rd).
In addition, the German international Karim Adeyemi RB Salzburg secured a 2-1 (1-0) home win against OSC Lille. The 19-year-old scored two penalties (35th / 53rd). For the French, Burak shortened Yilmaz (62nd). The group opponents VfL Wolfsburg and FC Sevilla played 1: 1 (0: 0).
