In the third matchday of the UEFA Champions League, Bayern Munich drew 2-2 with Arsenal at home, with Declan Rice scoring the equalizer in the 82nd minute after Harry Kane had put the hosts ahead via a penalty. The match featured notable absences for Bayern due to family bereavement and suspension, while Arsenal lost Bukayo Saka early to injury. In other results, Manchester United suffered a heavy 1-4 defeat away to Como, where Nico Paz scored twice, and Real Madrid extended their perfect record by beating RB Leipzig 4-1. Belgian side Club Brugge defeated Lens 3-0, securing their second win of the tournament, while Inter Milan recorded their first victory with a 1-0 win over Shakhtar Donetsk.

Manchester United suffered a crushing 4-1 defeat at Como in the third round of the UEFA Champions League, deepening the crisis for manager Michael Carrick and leaving the club without key forward Benjamin Šeško due to injury. The match concluded with a dramatic draw in Munich, where Bayern Munich and Arsenal shared points after a 2-2 stalemate. Other results saw Real Madrid secure a 4-1 victory over RB Leipzig, while Club Brugge defeated Lens 3-0. The evening’s central fixture at the Allianz Arena began poorly for the visitors. Bukayo Saka sustained a knee injury in the tenth minute and was replaced by Eberechi Eze. The substitute quickly made his impact, scoring in the 25th minute following a long diagonal pass from captain Martin Ødegaard. VAR confirmed no offside had occurred. Bayern responded ten minutes later when Harry Kane delivered a through ball to Alphonso Davies, who finished calmly to equalize. In the second half, the balance shifted again. A handball by Gabriel Magalhães, referred to in sources as Timber, led to a penalty kick. Kane converted the spot kick in the 61st minute to put Bayern ahead 2-1. This goal marked Kane’s score in his tenth consecutive Champions League match, bringing him within one game of Cristiano Ronaldo’s all-time record of eleven. However, Arsenal refused to accept defeat. In the 82nd minute, Viktor Gyökeres set up Declan Rice, whose low drive into the corner restored parity. Goalkeeper Manuel Neuer denied Arsenal a winner in stoppage time, ending the contest in a draw. Meanwhile, in Italy, Manchester United faced their first major test against Como, a club competing in the Champions League for the first time this season. The hosts took an early lead in the second minute when Argentine forward Nico Paz struck a shot from outside the box. Como extended their advantage in the 49th minute, with Paz providing the assist for Greek striker Anastasios Duvikas, who scored his third goal in three European matches. The gap widened further in the 57th minute. After a lost possession by Carlos Baleba, Paz ran onto the ball and fired past the goalkeeper to make it 3-0. Jacobo Ramón added a fourth goal for Como in the 76th minute. Joshua Zirkzee managed to pull one back for United in stoppage time, but the damage was already done. The result marks United’s sixth match without a win under Carrick. The absence of Benjamin Šeško weighed heavily on the Red Devils. The 23-year-old Slovenian international has been sidelined since mid-September due to a calf injury. Reports indicate he missed the summer preseason and has only featured in six matches this season, scoring twice. Medical uncertainty surrounds his return. According to reports citing British media, United officials fear he could be out for four months, potentially missing the remainder of the calendar year. Manager Michael Carrick stated that tests were still ongoing and that clearer information would be available by the end of the week. He noted that the club might need to seek a new striker in the January transfer window if the recovery period extends. Other notable performances included Real Madrid’s dominant display against Leipzig. Bernardo Silva opened the scoring in the 43rd minute, followed by Arda Güler in the 52nd. Kylian Mbappé and Yan Diomande added late goals, with Mbappé assisting Diomande’s strike. RB Leipzig’s Tidiane Gomis reduced the deficit in the 85th minute, but the Spanish champions maintained control. In Belgium, Club Brugge secured a 3-0 win over Lens. The match held particular significance for 17-year-old Tian Nai Koren, the son of former Slovenia national team player Robert Koren. It was the first time the teenager sat on the bench for a senior Champions League match. Although he did not enter the game, his presence marked a milestone in his career. Hans Vanaken, Joaquin Seys, and Carlos Forbes scored for the Belgian side. Galatasaray achieved a comeback victory in France, beating Lille 4-2. The Turkish side trailed 2-1 before goals from Alexei Batrakov, Victor Osimhen, and an own goal by Berke Özer turned the tide. The match was officiated by Slovenian referee Rade Obrenović. Aston Villa continued their perfect campaign with a 3-1 home win over Viking Stavanger. Ross Barkley and Emiliano Buendía scored penalties in the first half, while Henrik Heggheim’s own goal increased the margin. Peter Christiansen pulled one back for the visitors late in the game. Real Betis returned to Europe after 21 years away, claiming a 1-0 victory over Feyenoord thanks to a penalty by Isco in the 59th minute. Inter Milan recorded their first win of the competition, defeating Shakhtar Donetsk 1-0 via a goal from Carlos Augusto in the 77th minute, despite playing with ten men for the final quarter-hour after Alessandro Bastoni was sent off. Sporting Lisbon failed to extend their winning streak, losing 3-2 at home to LASK Linz. Luis Suárez scored both goals for the Portuguese side, but goals from Christoph Lang, Saša Kalajdžić, and Krystof Danek secured the win for the Austrian visitors. Following these matches, Paris Saint-Germain, Aston Villa, Liverpool, Real Madrid, and Real Betis remain unbeaten with maximum points. Stuttgart, Arsenal, and Bayern Munich have also avoided defeat in the league phase thus far.

Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes publicly attributed the team's 1-4 defeat to Como in the Champions League to tactical decisions made by manager Michael Carrick and his coaching staff.
