by Associated Press Champions League: Olympiakos stuns Atletico 3-2 Associated Press - 16 September 2014 16:50-04:00 PIRAEUS, Greece (AP) — Atletico Madrid slipped to a surprise 3-2 defeat to Olympiakos on Tuesday in a disappointing return to the Champions League for last season's finalist. Atletico fell behind in the 13th minute of the Group A match when defender Arthur Masuaku aimed a left-footed drive past goalkeeper Jan Oblak, who was making his debut for the Spanish club. Striker Kostas Mitroglou unselfishly left the ball to Imbrahim Afellay who made in 2-0 in the 31st. But Mario Mandzukic pulled a goal back before the break, left unmarked to head in a cross from Cristian Ansaldi. Mitroglou scored what proved to be the winner in the 73rd, turning on the ball to beat Oblak, before substitute Antoine Griezmann found the net in the 86th for Atletico.
