The start of the 5th round of the Champions League phase is marked by victories for the favourites: Milan win 3:2 at Slovan Bratislava and Atlético 6:0 at Sparta Prague. In Bratislava, there is a curious sending-off.
AC Milan made the small difference in the last half hour against the still pointless Slovaks. Rafael Leão, who came on for Noah Okafor at the break, made it 2:1 in the 67th minute. Three minutes later, Tammy Abraham profited from a catastrophic defensive error to make it 3:1. Slovan Bratislava reduced the deficit in the final minutes with a fine long-range shot from 19-year-old Nino Marcelli.
Shortly after the goal, however, Marko Tolic allowed himself a rare moment of intemperance. The 28-year-old got terribly upset at a foul by referee José Sanchez and could not contain himself even after being cautioned - until Sanchez showed him a second yellow card just seconds later and sent Tolic off.
Record win for Atlético
Atlético Madrid celebrated a record victory in Prague. The two Argentinians Julian Alvarez and Angel Correa each scored two goals in the Spaniards' highest away win in the Champions League. Like Milan, Atlético Madrid now have nine points to their name.
