completes rousing comeback
PSG beats Barcelona in Champions League thriller as Liverpool completes rousing
comeback
By JAMES ELLINGWORTH
AP Sports Writer
Paris Saint-Germain was too powerful for even Lamine Yamal's magic as it ended
Barcelona's 11-game winning run to top the Champions League table on Tuesday.
PSG is joined by Liverpool as the only teams with three wins after Alexis Mac
Allister led a rousing 4-3 comeback win over Villarreal.
Yamal had just displayed stunning skill to level the score at 2-2 from a narrow
angle when PSG took the lead again through Vitinha, before Fabian Ruiz added
another for a 4-2 victory.
Injuries to stars Ousmane Dembl and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia took some of the
shine off the win for PSG, which could now face having to cope without two of
its biggest difference-makers in attack.
The game took place with a visible police presence outside, against the
backdrop of violent unrest across France.
What began in France as protests against school conditions has expanded to
include a wide range of other groups and causes. There have been violent
clashes, fires and looting.
Mac Allister and Ngumoha turn it around for Liverpool Eighteen-year-old Rio Ngumoha played a starring role in Liverpool's comeback, setting up goals for Ronald Araujo, Mac Allister and Florian Wirtz. Liverpool had been 2-0 down after an erratic start, which included captain Virgil van Dijk holding up his hands in apology after his wayward header allowed Georges Mikautadze to score the opener for Villarreal. Manchester City bounced back from defeat to PSG with a slick 5-1 win against AEK Athens, with top scorer Erling Haaland on the bench. Phil Foden scored a hat trick, with his second goal the pick of the bunch coming at the end of a sweeping attack. Atletico Madrid held on with 10 men for a 1-1 draw with Stuttgart, foiling the German underdog's bid to join PSG and Liverpool on nine points. Julian Alvarez's goal for Atletico had canceled out Jamie Leweling's opener when midfielder Morten Hjulman made a reckless sliding tackle from behind on Angelo Stiller to leave Atletico clinging on.
McTominay scores two in Napoli win Scott McTominay scored his first two goals of the season to help Napoli beat Bodo/Glimt 4-3 and relieve pressure on coach Massimiliano Allegri. Serhou Guirassy scored twice but Borussia Dortmund wasted plenty more chances in a 2-1 win over Azerbaijan's Sabah. It wasn't the sort of convincing victory the German team was hoping for, after last week saw a loss to Bodo/Glimt before a draw at Union Berlin which allowed Bayern Munich to take the Bundesliga top spot off Dortmund. Pavel Kacor's leaping volley in the 90th minute earned Slavia Prague a 2-2 draw with Fenerbahce, which had been leading 2-0 early on before a defensive blunder by Matto Guendouzi let the Czech side back into the game. PSV won 1-0 against Porto, which slumped to a third loss. Roma cruised to a 4-0 win over Slovan Bratislava. ___ See AP's full soccer coverage here
