The crowd had jeered loudly after the halftime whistle as Madrid struggled and looked set for its second straight Champions League loss following a 14-match unbeaten run in the competition. PSV players perform a high five after the Champions League opening phase soccer match between Paris Saint-Germain and PSV Eindhoven at the Parc des Princes stadium in Paris, France, Tuesday, Oct. 22, 2024. PSG, which has four points from three games, had a stoppage-time penalty overturned by video review.
Belgium’s Brugge had to play most of the game with 10 men after Raphael Onyedika was sent off in the 40th minute but still leveled the score with a goal from Kyriani Sabbe in the 51st. Tijjani Reijnders later scored twice to give Milan the much-needed win. Gabriel Martinelli’s shot bounced off the post, hit the backside of goalkeeper Dmytro Riznyk and deflected into the net in the 29th at Emirates Stadium. Riznyk made amends by saving a penalty by Leandro Trossard in the 77th.Playing in Europe’s top competition for the first time in 41 years, Villa is the only team to have won its first three games after beating Bologna 2-0. John McGinn and Jhon Duran were the second-half scorers at Villa Park for Unai Emery’s team.
