Athletic Club defeated Atalanta 2-3 in Bergamo, in a vibrant Champions League matchday.\n\nThe Catalan team keeps alive the hope of securing their direct pass to the round of 16, a goal that could be achieved on the last matchday of the group stage against Copenhagen at the Spotify Camp Nou.\n\nThe first half of the match in Prague was contested, with a score of 2-2. Ferm\u00edn L\u00f3pez scored two goals (min. 34 and min. 42) to reverse Kusej&#8217;s initial lead, before an own goal by Robert Lewandowski at the edge of halftime. In the second half, Barcelona secured the victory with goals from Dani Olmo (2-3, min. 63) and Lewandowski himself (2-4, min. 71), although they regretted Pedro Gonz\u00e1lez &#8216;Pedri&#8217;s injury.\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Draw in Istanbul complicates Atl\u00e9tico&#8217;s situation<\/h2>\n\n\nThe match between Galatasaray and Atl\u00e9tico de Madrid, played at the Ali Sami Yen stadium in Istanbul, ended in a one-all draw.\n\nGiuliano put Atl\u00e9tico ahead with a header in the 4th minute (0-1). However, Llorente, in an attempt to clear, scored an own goal in the 20th minute, after a cross from Sallai.\n\nThe second half saw no changes in the score. This draw complicates Atl\u00e9tico&#8217;s aspirations, who have 13 points and are looking for a place among the top eight in the group stage. The Madrid team will play their options at the Metropolitano against the Norwegian Bodo Glimt.\n\n<h2>Athletic comes back and takes the victory in Bergamo<\/h2>\n\nThe Athletic Club achieved a 2-3 victory against Atalanta in Bergamo, in the penultimate matchday of the Champions League group stage, after coming back in a spectacular second half from Gianluca Scamacca&#8217;s initial goal.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Blue-and-Garnet Success in Prague, Draw in Istanbul, and Basque Victory in the Champions League Barcelona achieved a valuable away victory (2-4) against the combative Slavia Prague, while Galatasaray and Atletico Madrid drew one goal each.
