Barcelona survived a scare against Galatasaray in the Champions League on Tuesday. Arsenal rolled over Lille and it was more misery for Manchester United. Luis Diaz looked to have completed the comeback, but a red card for Michael Olise and a 90th minute goal from Herman Haugen provided another twist.
But Bayern Munich was stunned by a late equalizer from Viking in a 3-3 draw in Norway. Barcelona’s 100% start to the season was under threat down 1-0 to Galatasaray in Istanbul, but the Spanish champion rallied to a 4-1 win. Bayern was in even more trouble against Viking, trailing 2-0 at halftime before Harry Kane turned the game around with two goals after the break.
Michael Carrick’s team has won just two games in all competitions this term and fell to a fourth loss after goals from Pablo Barrios in the first minute and Ademola Lookman in the second half. Aleksey Batrakov gave Galatasaray the lead before his team had a second goal ruled out for a tight offside. Joao Cancelo’s goal leveled the score just before halftime and it was all Barcelona after that with goals from Fermin Lopez, Anthony Gordon and Karim Adeyemi. Second-half goals from Kaheem Parris and Joy-Lance Mickels secured the historic win in Baku. The club was only founded nine years ago.
A bizarre sending-off for Olise paved the way for Norwegian team Viking to rescue a draw in its first Champions League home game since 1992. Sporting Lisbon also sealed a 2-0 win at Lens through goals from Luis Suarez and Issa Doumbia. Brajan Gruda’s first Champions League goal lifted Leipzig to a 1-0 win over PSV Eindhoven to rebound after a heavy opening loss to newcomer Como.
Leipzig keeper Maarten Vandevoordt earlier saved a penalty from PSV’s Ivan Perisic.
