Around seven months after losing 7-0 to the English treble winners, the Saxons suffered a 3-1 home defeat on Wednesday. Dortmund drew 0-0 at home against AC Milan. Newcastle beat Paris Saint-Germain 4-1, FC Barcelona won 1-0 in Porto. Atletico won 3-2 at home against Feyenoord and Shakhtar Donetsk in Antwerp.
Lazio Rome beat Celtic Glasgow 2-1 away, the duel between Red Star Belgrade and Young Boys Bern ended 2-2.
In Leipzig, City clearly dictated the game, Phil Foden’s lead after work from Rico Lewis was well deserved (25th). Schlager was late for the assist and Seiwald was late for the finish. After the break, the home team got off to a perfect start. Lois Openda pulled away and made it 1-1 with a shot into the far corner via the inside bar (48′).
City then had the reins again, but Erling Haaland shot over from close range (58th) and Foden hit the goal with a free kick (63rd). The decision was made by a shot from Julian Alvarez deflected by Seiwald (84th) and a counterattack completed by Jeremy Doku (92nd). At Leipzig, Schlager played through, Seiwald was replaced in the 85th minute, Christoph Baumgartner came on in the 75th minute.

His compatriot Gernot Trauner wore the Feyenoord Rotterdam ribbon at Atletico Madrid. The Dutch were ahead 1-0 and 2-1 in the Spanish capital thanks to goals from Mario Hermoso (7th/own goal) and David Hancko (34th), but went down after conceding goals from Alvaro Morata (14th, 47th) and Antoine Griezmann (45th + 4) left the field as a 2:3 loser.
Trauner, who was substituted in the 74th minute, was unable to prevent Morata from scoring his goals, and when the score was 2-2, he involuntarily served the ball to Griezmann, who was then successful with a remarkable overhead kick. The ÖFB team player prevented a goal in the 18th minute with a save just in front of his own goal line. In the 39th minute, the advanced Upper Austrian narrowly missed the top corner of the Atletico goal. The parallel match in Pool E brought Lazio 2-1 at Celtic after goals from Kyogo Furuhashi (12th) and Matias Vecino (29th) and Pedro (95th).
Trauner’s ÖFB teammate Marcel Sabitzer was still missing from Dortmund’s zero against Milan due to adductor problems. The draw kept the Italians at two points, while the Germans got their first point. Newcastle moved to the top of Group F with a furious 4-1 home win over Paris. Miguel Almiron (17th), Dan Burn (39th), Sean Longstaff (50th) and Fabian Schär (91st) scored the goals for the “Magpies”, PSG only managed cosmetic results through Lucas Hernandez (56th).
In Pool H, FC Barcelona has a maximum of six points thanks to the 1-0 win at FC Porto. Ferran Torres secured the Catalans victory shortly before the half-time whistle after a mistake by Romario when playing out. In the second group game, Royal Antwerp made it 2-0 through Arbnor Muja (3′) and Michel-Ange Balikwisha (33′), but Danylo Sikan (48′, 76′) and Jaroslaw Rakizkij (71′) turned things around from Shakhtar Donetsk.
