Barcelona survived a scare against Galatasaray in the Champions League on Tuesday. Arsenal rolled over Lille and it was more misery for Manchester United. Luis Diaz looked to have completed the comeback, but a red card for Michael Olise and a 90th minute goal from Herman Haugen provided another twist.
But Bayern Munich was stunned by a late equalizer from Viking in a 3-3 draw in Norway. Barcelona’s 100% start to the season was under threat down 1-0 to Galatasaray in Istanbul, but the Spanish champion rallied to a 4-1 win. Bayern was in even more trouble against Viking, trailing 2-0 at halftime before Harry Kane turned the game around with two goals after the break.

Michael Carrick’s team has won just two games in all competitions this term and fell to a fourth loss after goals from Pablo Barrios in the first minute and Ademola Lookman in the second half. Aleksey Batrakov gave Galatasaray the lead before his team had a second goal ruled out for a tight offside. Joao Cancelo’s goal leveled the score just before halftime and it was all Barcelona after that with goals from Fermin Lopez, Anthony Gordon and Karim Adeyemi. “We have to play like this, control the game, move the ball. This is our quality. This is our strength, and we have to show our level. Tripic then provided the cross that allowed Haugen to head in the equalizer in the 90th minute. Second-half goals from Kaheem Parris and Joy-Lance Mickels secured the historic win in Baku. The club was only founded nine years ago.
“In the second half, we dominated the game,” Barcelona coach Hansi Flick said. “We were dominant, but at the moment it feels like every chance for the opposition leads to a goal,” Bayern coach Vincent Kompany said.
