Werner injured in Chelsea win: Ronaldo turns Old Trafford into a madhouse

Chelsea FC win clearly, but they have to deal with injuries to their two best forwards. Atalanta Bergamo irritates Manchester United, but Champions League record scorer Cristiano Ronaldo provokes late cheers for the Red Devils.

With a remarkable comeback, Manchester United took the lead in Group F of the Champions League preliminary round. Despite a two-goal deficit, the Red Devils beat Atalanta Bergamo 3-2 (0-2). Mario Pasalic (15th minute) and Merih Demiral (29th) had put Bergamo in the lead in the first half and seemed to exacerbate the earnings crisis for the English record champions. However, after the break, Marcus Rashford (53rd) cut first, captain Harry Maguire (75th) tied before Cristiano Ronaldo (81st) delighted the legendary Old Trafford with his 137th goal in the top flight of European football.

Bergamo, who has to do without the injured German international Robin Gosens, is left with four points, lost the first position of the group by defeat and slipped to third place behind Villarreal CF with the same points. Thanks to a strong final phase, the reigning champions of the Europa League beat Young Boys Bern 4-1, who with three points puts the rear in this still tight group.

Havertz scores for Chelsea

Meanwhile, defending champion FC Chelsea solved their Champions League task with confidence, but lost their star forwards Romelu Lukaku and Timo Werner. In the 4-0 (2-0) game against Malmö FF, Belgian international Lukaku had to fall in the 23rd minute due to injury. Shortly before the break, Werner could not continue either. Goals for the Londoners, coached by Thomas Tuchel, were scored by former Gladbacher Andreas Christensen (9th), Italian European champion Jorginho twice with a penalty (21 / 57th) and Kai Havertz, who replaced Lukaku (48th).

More about the subject

In the second match of Group H, Juventus celebrated. Dejan Kulusevski scored the late winning goal in 1-0 (0-0) at Zenit St. Petersburg (86th). Thus, the Italians remain at the top with nine points. Chelsea also have their sights set on the round of 16, three points behind.

In Lille there were no blows between OSC and Sevilla FC. The French champions are third behind the Andalusians. The first in Group G is RB Salzburg, who won 3: 1 (1: 1) against VfL Wolfsburg, who are now at the bottom of the table.
