Lazio's Remarkable Last-Minute Goal Shocks Atletico Madrid – Unbelievable Champions League Round-Up!

In the final moments of their Champions League Group E match against Atletico Madrid on Tuesday, Lazio goalkeeper Ivan Provedel played a vital role in securing a valuable point for his team. With just five minutes left in stoppage time, Provedel, who had ventured forward for a last-minute corner, headed in the equalizer. This goal, with one of the final touches of the game, resulted in a 1-1 draw for his team.

Provedel made history by becoming the first goalkeeper in 13 years to score in a Champions League match, following in the footsteps of Nigeria's Vincent Enyeama who achieved this impressive feat for Hapoel Tel Aviv. This remarkable accomplishment places Provedel as only the fourth goalkeeper to achieve this milestone overall.

Provedel's goal marked the sixth time a goalkeeper has scored in the Champions League, with only one other goalkeeper, Sinan Bolat, achieving this feat from open play in 2009 when playing for Standard Liege against AZ Alkmaar.

In another Group E match, Feyenoord secured a dramatic 2-0 victory over Celtic. Calvin Stengs and Alireza Jahanbaksh were the goal scorers for Feyenoord, while Celtic ended the game with only nine players.

Stengs' free-kick found the back of the net just before halftime, propelling the Dutch team into the lead. However, the game took a turn for the worse for Brendan Rodgers' men in the second half, as both Gustaf Lagerbielke and Odin Thiago Holm were shown red cards.

Julian Alvarez proved to be Manchester City's savior as they narrowly overcame a significant challenge to defeat Red Star Belgrade 3-1 at the Etihad Stadium. Despite Osman Bukari giving the visitors the lead against the flow of the game just before halftime, Alvarez swiftly responded, scoring only 72 seconds into the second half to restore his team's advantage.

Alvarez played a role in City's second goal as his free-kick caused Red Star keeper Omri Glazer to inadvertently score an own goal. Pep Guardiola's team secured a well-deserved victory when Rodri calmly finished 17 minutes before the end of the match.

In Group G, RB Leipzig's substitute Benjamin Sesko scored in injury time to secure a 3-1 win against Young Boys.

Kylian Mbappe once again showcased his skills as Paris Saint-Germain commenced their Champions League journey with a convincing 2-0 triumph over Borussia Dortmund in their home ground. This victory gave a sneak peek into what can be expected under the guidance of their new coach, Luis Enrique. Mbappe took the lead by converting a penalty in the second half, while Achraf Hakimi perfectly sealed the deal by scoring a remarkable goal, rewardingly concluding PSG's persistent efforts at Parc des Princes.

PSG, the Ligue 1 champions, secured their third victory in six competitive games this season. This win brought them a much-needed sense of relief following their recent defeat. They successfully implemented Enrique's possession strategy, which proved to be effective. With three points, PSG currently sits at the top of Group F, gaining a two-point advantage over AC Milan and Newcastle, who played a goalless draw earlier that day.

Barcelona's new forward, Joao Felix, scored two goals in a commanding 5-0 victory over visiting Royal Antwerp in their opening Champions League Group H match at the Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys. Barca, determined to avoid another early exit from the group stage, showcased their football prowess by maintaining possession and utilizing swift passing. Alongside Felix, Robert Lewandowski and Gavi also found the net, resulting in a comprehensive display of Barcelona's attacking prowess.

Felix broke the deadlock in the 11th minute with a well-placed low shot into the near post, giving the home team the lead. Shortly after, he played a perfect pass to Lewandowski inside the penalty area, who capitalized on the opportunity to extend their advantage. In doing so, Lewandowski joined Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi as the only players to reach the milestone of 100 goals in European competition.

Raphinha provided assistance in extending the lead to 3-0 for the five-time European champions in the 22nd minute when his shot from a difficult angle deflected off defender Jelle Bataille, resulting in an own goal.

Barca, led by Xavi Hernandez, came back stronger after the halftime break with the aim of further increasing their advantage in their 28th Champions League group stage campaign, a record they share with Real Madrid.

Gavi wasted no time in extending their lead to 4-0 by forcefully striking the ball into the top of the net. Shortly after, Felix sealed the victory with a powerful header, securing a dominant performance at Barca's temporary stadium during the redevelopment of Camp Nou.

Meanwhile, in a separate Group H matchup, Porto triumphed over Ukrainian champions Shakhtar Donetsk with a convincing 3-1 win in Hamburg.
