At Old Trafford, another record for Cristiano Ronaldo seemed doomed to another night of little glory for Manchester United. Villarreal dominated most of the game, the Red Devils arrived at match time at a disadvantage – a goal for the Spaniards scored by Paco Alcacer – but a superb goal from Alex Telles, assisted by Bruno Fernandez, gave a new one. A driving force for the team. In the 95th minute, Lingard converted a ball inside the penalty area, and Ronaldo, with his usual sense of timing, added another goal to the record (137 in the Champions League) giving Solskjaer three goals. Points and a huge Oxigen balloon.
And in the other Group F match, Atalanta did not show the usual scoring line, but Pesina’s goal, in the 68th minute, was enough for the Bergamo team to beat the Swiss Young Boys in Italy.
