In a thrilling night of European club football, four major matches delivered shocks, comebacks, and rising stars across the Champions and Europa Leagues.
In Monaco, Monaco drew 2–2 with Manchester City after a late penalty. City had looked set for victory, but Monaco capitalised on a VAR call in stoppage time to level the game.
Meanwhile, Napoli edged Sporting CP 2–1, with Rasmus Højlund scoring a decisive brace. Sporting had held the initiative for much of the match before the Italian side turned it around.
In Athens, Arsenal prevailed over Olympiacos in a tightly contested match as Gabriel Martinelli broke the deadlock. The English side pushed hard in the second half and held on in a test of wits and stamina
And in Barcelona, PSG — playing with a depleted squad — fought back to beat Barcelona 2–1. Despite injuries and rotations, PSG showed resilience and tactical acumen to overcome the Catalan side on a challenging night.
These results suggest shifting dynamics in European competitions: depth, grit, and opportunism making the difference.
