Champions League roundup: Mbappé hits four at Olympiakos, Atlético stun Inter | Champions League


Kylian Mbappé scored the second-fastest hat-trick in the Champions League as he helped himself to all four goals in Real Madrid’s 4-3 win at Olympiacos. The La Liga leaders were trailing to Chiquinho’s early strike at the Stadio Georgios Karaiskakis before he intervened with a seven-minute treble after 22, 24 and 29 minutes.

Only Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah, who achieved the same feat in six minutes and 12 seconds against Rangers in October 2022, is ahead of him in the all-time list.

Mbappé added a fourth in between fine headers from Mehdi Taremi and Ayoub El Kaabi to edge Madrid over the finishing line.

José María Giménez’s stoppage-time header gave Atlético Madrid a last-gasp 2-1 victory over Inter after Julián Alvarez and Piotr Zielinski had scored.

Goals from Ademola Lookman, Ederson and Charles De Ketelaere inside five second-half minutes eased Atalanta to an impressive 3-0 win at Eintracht Frankfurt, while Geovany Quenda, Luis Suárez and Francisco Trincão were on target as Sporting beat Club Brugge by the same scoreline.

Copenhagen survived a late fightback to secure their first victory of the campaign as they held to beat Kairat Almaty 3-2. Goals from Viktor Dadason, Jordan Larsson and Robert looked to have the hosts home and hosed with 17 minutes remaining, but Dastan Satpayev and substitute Olzhas Baibek ensured a tense conclusion.

Mohammed Salisu’s late own goal handed Pafos a 2-2 home draw with Monaco, who led twice through Takumi Minamino and Folarin Balogun either side of David Luiz’s equaliser, which, at 38, made him the competition’s second-oldest goalscorer.
