Champions League: Lille Bows Against Galatasaray, Manchester United Dark at Como
Victor Osimhen scored his first Champions League goal of the season as Galatasaray ended a five-game away losing run.
On Wednesday, Galatasaray secured their first UEFA Champions League victory by defeating Lille 4-2, ending the Turkish club's away losing streak in the competition.
After Yunus Akgün opened the scoring, Soriba Diaoune scored twice to put Lille ahead before Lucas Torreira and Osimhen reclaimed the lead for the visitors.
The 27-year striker, who played for Lille during the 2019/2020 season, fired past goalkeeper Berke to make it 4-2, choosing not to celebrate against his former club.
Lille remains without a point after their group-stage matches, placing significant pressure on head coach Davide Ancelotti's squad to recover in the competition.
Elsewhere in Europe, Como defeated Manchester United 4-1 at Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia, compounding the English club's recent struggles in continental competition.
Lille didn't win on Wednesday 21 October against the Turks of Galatasaray, 4-2 winners at the Pierre-Mauroy stadium, and remains at the bottom of the table with three defeats in three matches. Manchester United had a nightmare night in Como, which outclassed English club 4 to 1.
The path of the cross continues for Lille in this Champions League, beaten dryly at the Pierre-Mauroy 4-2 stadium against Galatasaray. Despite the doubling of the young Diaoné, the Dogues chain a third defeat in as many days and slide gently, unless miracle, towards a elimination.
