Inter 3-4 Club Brugge. The night’s biggest shock came in Milan, where 22-year-old Nicolò Tresoldi scored all three of Brugge’s first goals. He put the visitors ahead from the penalty spot in the 30th minute, and after Lautaro Martínez levelled just before half-time, Tresoldi struck again in the 63rd and 74th minutes, both set up by Carlos Forbs. Lautaro scored a second in the 81st minute, but Romeo Vermant restored the lead for Brugge in the 87th. UEFA’s match list credits Ange-Yoan Bonny with Inter’s other goal. It was Inter’s second defeat in two games after losing 2-1 at Real Madrid on matchday 1.
Viking 3-3 Bayern München. Bayern, who had beaten Bodø/Glimt 5-0 on matchday 1, were stunned in Norway.

Harry Kane then scored twice and set up Luis Díaz for a 3-2 lead, extending his Champions League scoring streak to nine games.

Atlético Madrid 2-0 Manchester United. Atlético took the lead after just 47 seconds, when Pablo Barrios finished a simple ball over the top.
