In a thrilling UEFA Champions League encounter, Atalanta suffered a 3-2 defeat to Real Madrid, despite a stunning goal from Ademola Lookman. The match was vital for Real Madrid, who were looking to recover from a tough start to their European campaign. With just two wins from four games, Los Blancos had to secure a win to keep their knockout stage hopes alive.
Real Madrid took the lead in the 10th minute through Kylian Mbappe's controlled finish, but Atalanta responded just before halftime, with Charles De Ketelaere scoring a penalty to level the score. After the break, Vinicius Jr. put Madrid back in front in the 56th minute, followed by Jude Bellingham’s powerful shot in the 59th minute to make it 3-1.
Lookman, who has been in fine form this season, pulled one back for Atalanta in the 72nd minute. The Nigerian winger controlled a long ball on the edge of the penalty area before curling a low shot past Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois, marking his third goal in five UCL matches and his 16th goal contribution of the season.
Despite Lookman’s efforts, Atalanta couldn’t complete a comeback, and Real Madrid clinched the win, advancing to the knockout stage with nine points from six matches. Meanwhile, Liverpool maintained their perfect record in the group stage with a 1-0 win over Girona, securing their place in the next round. Other notable results included PSG’s 3-0 victory over RB Salzburg and Bayern Munich’s dominant 4-1 win against Shakhtar Donetsk.
