Champions League round-up: Atletico beat Inter while Pafos continue impressive start in debut season
"It was an enjoyable evening for Diego Simeone in the Champions League as his Atletico Madrid side found a late winner against Inter, the club where the Argentine manager spent two years as a player. Jose Gimenez scored in the 93rd minute at the Metropolitano to secure all three points for Simeone's men after Piotr Zielinski had cancelled out Julian Alvarez's opener. The win for Atletico lifts them up the 12th in the 36-team table as they ended Inter's perfect start to the competition."
"Former Liverpool player Takumi Minamino gave the French club the lead after just five minutes in Cyprus before 38-year-old ex-Chelsea and PSG defender David Luiz drew the hosts level with a powerful header. Folarin Balogun restored Monaco's advantage mid-way through the first-half after an error from Pafos goalkeeper Neofytos Michail and that's how it stayed until the 88th-minute. With Pafos pushing for an equaliser, they were eventually rewarded"
