The match saw Viktor Gyokeres shine with a hat-trick, helping Sporting overcome an early goal from Phil Foden and secure three critical points to keep their strong group stage campaign alive.

Manchester City took early control of the match, however, Foden’s goal was the only early reward.

Sporting leveled before halftime, with Gyokeres calmly converting Geovany Quenda’s assist. The second half was a different story, as Maximiliano Araujo netted just after the break, and Gyokeres added two penalties, sealing the win and sending the Estadio Jose Alvalade crowd into jubilation.

Erling Haaland missed a key penalty for City, adding to their frustration on the night.

Amorim, who will soon take over as Manchester United’s manager on November 11, leaves Sporting CP in a strong Champions League position with 10 points from four games, while City sits at seven points.

Luis Díaz led the way with a hat-trick, dashing the return hopes of former Liverpool midfielder and Leverkusen coach Xabi Alonso.

The Reds took control in the second half, as Díaz’s well-timed strikes, along with a diving header from Cody Gakpo, overwhelmed the German side.

Real Madrid Yet To Recover From El Clasico Defeat

Meanwhile, AC Milan delivered a surprising 3-1 win over defending champions Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabéu.

Malick Thiaw opened the scoring with a header, and despite a Vinicius Jr. equalizer, Milan pulled ahead with goals from Álvaro Morata and Tijjani Reijnders.

The result sees Real Madrid struggling at 17th in the 36-team Champions League table, while Milan edges closer to a knockout stage position.
