UCL: Lookman Assists As Atletico Draw With Stuttgart, PSG Floor Barcelona

Ademola Lookman registered an assist as Atletico Madrid played out a 1-1 draw against VfB Stuttgart in their UEFA Champions League encounter on Tuesday night.

Jamie Leweling gave Stuttgart the lead nine minutes before half-time, but Atletico responded shortly after the restart.

Lookman, who started the match on the bench, came on for Jonathan David and set up Julian Alvarez for Atletico’s equaliser in the 47th minute.

The visitors were reduced to 10 men after Morten Hjulmand was sent off four minutes after the hour mark.

The assist takes Lookman’s tally to one goal and one assist in three Champions League appearances for Diego Simeone’s side this season.

Meanwhile, defending champions Paris Saint-Germain handed Barcelona their first defeat of the season with a thrilling 4-2 victory at the Parc des Princes.

The two sides exchanged goals, with Désiré Doué and Lucas Hernandez finding the net for PSG, while Xavi Espart and Lamine Yamal scored for Barcelona to keep the contest finely balanced.

However, Vitinha and Fabián Ruiz struck later in the match to seal all three points for the French champions and inflict a first defeat of the campaign on the Blaugrana.
