Manchester United were dealt a major blow to their UEFA Champions League hopes as they fell to an agonising 3-4 defeat against Copenhagen.
Haaland was close to scoring six goals in a single match against RB Leipzig in UEFA Champions League. But Pep Guardiola denied him of this opportunity by substituting him in the 63rd minute of the game.
Atletico was given a penalty, but Lucas Hradecky stopped Yannick Carrasco's attempt, and Saul Niguez headed the rebound over the crossbar.
FC Barcelona got their Champions League off to a thundering start with a 5-1 rout of the Viktoria Plzen. And three of those goals were the work of Lewandowski, who has now scored 89 goals in the competition, the first three of those for Barca amounting to his sixth UCL hat-trick.
As Man City piled on the goals in the second half, Haaland became the youngest player ever to score 25 goals in the Champions League.
"After a few bad results it was important to do well today. Our response was very good," said Barca coach Ernesto Valverde.
Reportedly, Mourinho has already lost the dressing room.
United are winless in their last four games (all competitions) now.
"I'm not at 100% of my fitness, no one is at 100%, it's the start of the season and we haven't played many matches," said Neymar.
Mourinho's side are second in Group H, two points behind Juventus.
