Sports Desk, Dec 10 (EFE).- Goals from Kylian Mbappe, Vinicius Jr, and Jude Bellingham gave Real Madrid a much-needed 3-2 Champions League win against Atalanta on Tuesday.
Mbappé opened the scoring after 10 minutes before pulling out with a muscular issue, and Charles De Ketelaere equalized in the first-half stoppage time.
Vinicius and Jude Bellingham scored within three minutes of each other in the 56th and 59th minutes, and Ademola Lookman pulled one back with a left-footed shot in the 65th minute before Retegui struck in the final minute of stoppage time.
With two games to play, Real are 18th in the 36-team standings on nine points, three adrift of the top eight who qualify directly for the Round of 16.
Meanwhile, a third consecutive come-from-behind win on Tuesday moved Bayern Munich into the top eight of the Champions League after beating Shakhtar Donetsk 5-1.
Kevin Santos gave Shakhtar an early lead, but Konrad Laimer soon leveled the game, and Thomas Muller put his side back in front before halftime.
A third goal came from Michael Olise from the penalty spot in the second half, and Jamal Musiala added to the equation before Olise completed a brace.
Bayern’s win lifted them to eighth on 12 points, while Shakhtar dropped to 27th with four points.
Mohamed Salah’s penalty made the difference in Tuesday’s 1-0 Champions League win over Liverpool in Montilivi, as the English side consolidated their lead in the league phase of Europe’s top club competition with their sixth win in six games, while Girona ended up in 30th place with three points.
Goalkeepers Paulo Gazzaniga and Allison Becker were the two main protagonists in a game full of chances for both teams that ended in the 63rd minute with Salah’s decisive 1-0. EFE
