There were few surprises on the first matchday of the fourth round of the Champions League. The favorites confidently took care of business. The match at Old Trafford stood out for its incredible intensity and drama. Manchester United, trailing Roma 0-2, secured a come-from-behind victory – 3-2. This was reported by Qazaqyia.kz citing Kursiv Media.

When in the 17th minute Roma's Dutch forward Doniel Malen converted a penalty to put a two on the scoreboard of the Theatre of Dreams, it seemed that for United everything was over. And not only on that evening. The current manager of the Red Devils, Michael Carrick, did not need to come up with the wording of a resignation statement. Ten matches in a row without a win is too much, and 17th place in the Premier League is too.

The "devilish" depression lasted for almost an hour of play. And then came a comeback that brought the battered Old Trafford back to the times of Sir Alex Ferguson.

Brazilian Mateus Cunha earned a penalty, and Bruno Fernandes converted it – 1-2. In a fiery finale, Cunha struck twice more into the goal of Colombian Davis Vásquez. After that, having done his job, he left the field due to a second yellow card.

United ended their black streak on moral and volitional strength. And Roma lost for the second time in the current League while leading by two goals. On October 14, the same misfortune happened to Gian Piero Gasperini's men in a home match against Real Madrid.

(The remaining matches of the 4th round will take place this evening)

Barcelona confidently dealt with the Europa League trophy holder at the Nou Camp – 3-0. The best young player in the world according to France Football, Lamine Yamal, upset the Japanese goalkeeper of English Aston Villa, Zion Suzuki, early in the match. Brazilian Raphinha scored a brace after the break.

Champions Cup holder French PSG sank the Yellow Submarine in its own dock – 6-0. By the 18th minute, Spanish Villarreal was losing 0-4. In the second half, Luis Enrique's charges brought the score to a tennis-like one.

Bayern Munich, with the freshly minted Ballon d'Or winner Harry Kane in the lineup, accepted Atletico's challenge in Madrid. And in end-to-end attacking football, they neutralized the Mattress Makers' winning mood – 2-0. Instead of Kane, this time the young (he is only 18) Lennart Karl and Austrian Konrad Laimer stood out.

Italian Inter, which lost to Milan in Serie A at the weekend (1-3), unexpectedly defeated the far-from-weak Feyenoord in Rotterdam – 3-0. For Romanian Cristian Chivu's team, in full accordance with its name, Germans Jan Bisseck, Italian Francesco Esposito and Pole Piotr Zielinski scored.

Donetsk Shakhtar, which hosts Champions League opponents at London's Stamford Bridge, failed to cope with Lisbon's Sporting. The decisive goal was scored by Italian Issa Doumbia at the end of the hour of play.

A quick brace by Russian Alexey Batrakov, completed in the 15th minute, decided the outcome of the Istanbul confrontation. Galatasaray defeated German Stuttgart – 2-0.

Each of the 36 teams will play 8 matches against different opponents in the main round of the Champions League. The top 8 clubs from the overall table will advance directly to the Round of 16. Teams occupying places 9 through 24 will take part in playoff matches for the right to play in the Round of 16. Clubs from 9th to 16th will be seeded in the playoff draw. Teams occupying places 25-36 are eliminated from the tournament.

Kazakhstan's Kairat, which played in the Champions League last season, this time did not make it to the main tournament of the main European cup.

The Almaty side started in the Conference League with an away draw (1-1) against Riga. In the second round, Kairat lost at home to Greek Panathinaikos – 1-5. On Thursday, November 5, Zora Arutyunyan's team, who temporarily replaced Rafael Urazbakhtin at the helm, will play in Bergamo against Italian Atalanta.
