Shortly after lighting up the European Championship, two of the world’s most exciting young players shone on club football’s biggest stage. With mixed fortunes, however.

Teenager Lamine Yamal’s goal couldn’t prevent 10-man Barcelona from falling to a 1-2 defeat at Monaco in the Champions League — ending the Spanish club’s perfect start to the season.

Meanwhile, it took Florian Wirtz less than five minutes to score his first Champions League goal on his debut in Europe’s elite club competition. Wirtz also netted another as Bayer Leverkusen romped to a 4-0 win at Feyenoord.

Atalanta had a penalty saved in a 0-0 draw with Arsenal. Atletico Madrid beat Leipzig 2-1.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
