Ademola Lookman scored nine minutes after coming off the bench as Atl\u00e9tico Madrid<\/a> <\/strong>defeated Manchester United 2-0, while Victor Osimhen played the full 90 minutes in Galatasaray\u2019s 4-1 home defeat to Barcelona in Tuesday\u2019s UEFA Champions League action.<\/p>\n

Lookman seals Atl\u00e9tico victory<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Atl\u00e9tico took the lead after just 53 seconds when Pablo Barrios converted Alex Baena\u2019s cutback.<\/p>\n

Manchester United threatened through Bryan Mbeumo, but goalkeeper Jan Oblak made key saves to keep the visitors out. Alejandro Grimaldo also came close for Atl\u00e9tico, striking the angle of the post and crossbar with a free-kick.<\/p>\n

Johnny Cardoso thought he had doubled Atl\u00e9tico\u2019s lead, but his goal was ruled out after a VAR review found a handball by Marcos Llorente in the build-up.<\/p>\n

Introduced in the 70th minute, Lookman struck in the 79th to seal the victory for Atl\u00e9tico, who claimed their first points of the league phase and extended their unbeaten run against United to five matches.<\/p>\n

Barcelona punish Galatasaray<\/strong><\/h3>\n

At Rams Park, Galatasaray took a surprise lead in the 28th minute when Aleksey Batrakov\u2019s shot deflected off Jo\u00e3o Cancelo and into the net.<\/p>\n

Cancelo made amends by curling in Barcelona\u2019s equaliser shortly before half-time. The visitors then took control, with Lamine Yamal providing two assists in four minutes as Barcelona completed a 4-1 comeback victory.<\/p>\n

Osimhen played the full match but couldn\u2019t prevent Galatasaray from suffering a heavy home defeat. The result extended Barcelona\u2019s winning run across all competitions to 10 matches.<\/p>\n
