Football Park's European Football: Weekend Round Up

Having already looked at all of the matches played on Saturday in the Premier League, our attention turns to the European scene.

There was a Madrid derby and a clash between the top two in Italy, amongst Borussia Dortmund and PSG's fixtures.

Here's our European football round-up.

Atletico Leave Europe Speechless With Huge Win

Diego Simeone and Atletico Madrid's struggles have been hugely publicised this season, with just two wins from six heading into this derby, against a Real Madrid side they so rarely beat.

However, a remarkable 5-2 victory against the table-toppers means they now shoot up into fifth place, six off Real and seven from Barcelona.

Robin Le Normand's early goal was cancelled out by Kylian Mbappe and Arda Guler, which meant it looked as if Real Madrid were headed for the interval in front.

However, Alexander Sorloth struck three minutes into first half added time to send the sides into the dressing rooms at two apiece.

A Julian Alvarez brace in 15 minutes - one from the penalty spot - had the Rojiblancos in dream land.

Veteran forward Antoine Griezmann came off the bench to compound Xabi Alonso's misery with a fifth goal in the 90+4th minute.

The result sees Barcelona move to the top of the summit, after they beat Real Sociedad 2-1.

Routine Wins For Top Two In Germany

Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund are back to being the main two sides in the Bundesliga, having been separated for a couple of seasons by Bayer Leverkusen.

Bayern won on Friday night, putting four past Werder Bremen, whilst Dortmund beat Mainz 2-0.

Jonathan Tah, Konrad Laimer and a Harry Kane double set the Bavarians to victory, with Daniel Svensson and Karim Adeyemi the scorers for Dortmund.

Milan Overcome The Champions

AC Milan dethroned Napoli at the top of Serie A, winning 2-1 despite being reduced to ten men.

Alexis Saelemaekers and Christian Pulisic notched first half goals for the Rossoneri, before Pervis Estupinan saw red with 33 minutes to see out.

Kevin De Bruyne converted the resulting penalty from the Ecuadorian's shirt pull, however Antonio Conte's men could not muster an equaliser.

There were wins elsewhere in Italy for Inter and Roma, whilst Juventus drew to Atalanta and Fiorentina with Pisa.

PSG Win

PSG recovered from their Le Classique defeat to Marseille on Monday with a comfortable performance against Auxerre.

Former Bournemouth man Illia Zabarnyi put the Parisiens ahead in the 31st minute, which was added to in the 53rd minute by Beraldo.

Due to Lyon's 1-0 win at Lille, both them and PSG are on the same number of points at the top of the table, with PSG ahead due to a superior goal difference.

Marseille won it late against RC Strasbourg, Amir Murillo scoring in stoppage time to seal a 2-1 victory after Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang had equalised.

Routine in Portugal

Capital rivals Sporting Lisbon and Benfica were in action, ahead of Porto's game on Monday night.

A Vangelis Pavlidis brace gave Jose Mourinho's men a comeback victory against Vicente Barcelos, who had led after 11 minutes.

Sporting overcame Estoril Praia with a single goal, coming early in the 12th minute through Luis Javier Suarez.

Sporting Lisbon sit second on 18 points with Benfica just behind on 17, yet Porto are still in first with 18 having played a game fewer.
