Not only FC Porto brought a Portuguese glow to the Champions League on Tuesday. João Félix and Diogo Jota also raised the Portuguese flag in UEFA’s main club competition.
In group A, the Portuguese international João Félix was decisive for Atlético de Madrid’s victory, by signing the encore that helped the colchoneros to reverse the result in the reception to Salzburg (3-2).
The Madriders had the advantage, with a goal from Marcos Llorente, in the 29th minute, but the Hungarian Dominik Szoboszlai, in the 40th, and the German Mergim Berisha, in the 47th, turned the Austrians around. The Portuguese striker, who started at Atlético’s lead, quickly leveled the match, at 52, before consummating the return, at 85.
Atlético de Madrid, which was coming off a tough defeat (4-0) against Bayern Munich, occupies second place with three points, while Salzburg has one, as did Lokomotiv Moscow, which hours before lost by 2 -1 with the European champions, who lead the group, with six.
Besides FC Porto and João Félix, Diogo Jota also helped elevate the Portuguese colors in this second round of the group stage. The Portuguese international scored the 10,000th goal in the history of the Reds in all competitions, in the 55th minute, before Mohamad Salah sealed the victory against Midtjylland (2-0), in 90 + 3, with a penalty.
The English champion leads group D with six points, two more than Atalanta, which drew 2-2 against Ajax, thanks to two goals from Colombian Duván Zapata, who ‘annulled’ the goals of Dusan Tadic and Lassina Traoré.
After losing to Luís Castro’s Shakhtar Donetsk on the first matchday of Group B, Real Madrid was about to surprise again, but managed to draw 2-2 with Borussia Moenchengladbach in clearance time.
The Frenchman Marcus Thuram seemed to have led the Germans to victory, with goals in the 33rd and 58th minutes, but Karim Benzema, in the 87th, and Casemiro, in the 90 + 3, saved the meringues, who remain in the last Group place, led by El Shakhtar, who adds four points, after today drawing 0-0 against Inter Milan, which has two, the same as ‘Gladbach’.
