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

Injury-ravaged Bayern Munich pulled off an impressive 2-0 success at Atlético Madrid on Tuesday, while under pressure Michael Carrick saw Manchester United come from 2-0 down to win 3-2 at home to Roma in the Champions League - their first victory in 10 games.

Aston Villa's perfect record is over as Lamine Yamal's early goal and Raphinha's double sealed a 3-0 Nou Camp win for Barcelona, who go above the Birmingham outfit into second. 

Holders and leaders Paris Saint-Germain, who beat Barça on the last Champions League matchday, made it four wins from four with a rampant 6-0 triumph at Villarreal.

The French giants were 4-0 up inside 17 minutes and Fabian Ruiz scored his second after the break. Inter prevailed 3-0 at Feyenoord, LASK won 4-0 at home to Slovan Bratislava and Bodø/Glimt against Lille finished 0-0.

Bayern's Manuel Neuer, now the record German appearance maker in the competition with a Lionel Messi-beating 164 appearances, was back fit alongside Michael Olise but their other injury issues meant left back Alphonso Davies played further forward. 

Teenage forward Lennart Karl, criticized by club bosses recently, also came into the line-up and squeezed the ball home on 54 minutes. Konrad Laimer then secured the three points with an unstoppable shot.

"We are very convinced with the squad that we have," Laimer told Amazon Prime. "In the end it was a well-deserved win here against a good team."

Coach Vincent Kompany missed his fourth game in a row due to illness, making the Bavarians' victory and dominant performance even more impressive as they rose to eighth, the last automatic last-16 place. Atlético are 22nd.

Carrick saved?

United's Carrick, having inspired a resurgence last term which took them back in the Champions League, looked on the brink after Matías Soulé's goal and Donyell Malen's penalty. United fans threw tennis balls onto the pitch at the break in frustration at the owners.

Bruno Fernandes halved the deficit with a retaken penalty after his first effort was saved before United's Bryan Mbeumo the hit both posts with one shot. But Matheus Cunha's late brace turned the game on its head, only for the Brazil striker to be sent off in stoppage time.

Midfielder Youri Tielemans said of Carrick, "There has been a lot of pressure on him and that's how we repay him, with a comeback like this, big character, big fight."

The three-time European Cup winners last won a game in any competition against Sabah in the Champions League in early September.  With four of eight league phase matches gone, they sit 17th, just outside the seeded spots for the last-16 play-offs. Roma dropped to 19th.

VfB Stuttgart lost for the first time in the Champions League this season to dip to 10th after Aleksei Batrakov scored twice in a 2-0 win for Galatasaray.

The Germans threatened early on in the hostile Istanbul atmosphere when Jamie Leweling's shot also came off both posts. 

But 18th-placed Gala soon went ahead when Jeff Chabot's mistake in the box was pounced on by Russian Batrakov, who fired into the top corner. The stadium speakers were quickly playing Russian music again when the 21-year-old nutmegged keeper Fabian Bredlow on 15 minutes. 

"You can't afford to play catch-up at this place, but the result isn't an accurate reflection of the game," Stuttgart coach Sebastian Hoeness said.

Managerless Sporting lie sixth after a 1-0 win over Shakhtar Donetsk thanks to Issa Doumbia sweeping home in London.

Nine league phase games follow on Wednesday.
