Bayern belie injuries to beat Atléti, United hit back for 3-2 victory

Bayern Munich overcame injuries to secure a 2-0 victory over Atlético Madrid in the UEFA Champions League. Meanwhile, Manchester United fought back from a 2-0 deficit to defeat Roma 3-2 at their home stadium, marking their first victory in 10 games. Aston Villa's perfect record in the Champions League ended with a 3-0 loss to Barcelona in Spain, as Lamine Yamal's early goal and Raphinha's brace secured the win for the Spanish giants, who now move into second place.

Paris Saint-Germain, the reigning Champions League holders, maintained their perfect record with a convincing 6-0 win against Villarreal. Inter Milan also claimed a 3-0 victory over Feyenoord, while LASK defeated Slovan Bratislava 4-0, and Bodø/Glimt and Lille played to a 0-0 draw. Bayern Munich's Manuel Neuer, the competition's record appearance maker with 164 matches, returned to action alongside Michael Olise, while Alphonso Davies played a more forward position due to his injury.

Teenager Lennart Karl, who faced recent criticism from the club, came on as a substitute and scored the winning goal in the 54th minute. Bayern's coach, Vincent Kompany, missed his fourth consecutive game due to illness, adding to the impressive nature of Bayern's dominant performance. This result propelled Bayern to eighth position, their final automatic spot in the last-16 stage of the tournament.

Atlético Madrid currently sit 22nd. At Manchester United, Bruno Fernandes equalized for the hosts, and despite Matheus Cunha's late goals, the Brazil striker was sent off in the final minutes. United's four Champions League matches so far have left them in 17th place in the league after only four league phase matches.
