Former Champions League winners Manchester City were the big winners as they beat Sparta Prague 5-0. Two goals from Erling Haaland, Mattheus Nunes, Phil Foden and John Stones helped seal the route.

This brace helped Man City’s number nine reach 44 Champions League career goals—he’s only 24! Fellow English side Liverpool edged out German side RB Leipzig 1-0, thanks to a Darwin Nunez goal.

The Reds have a 100% record in the competition. In the game of the night, Barcelona overcame Bayern Munich 4-1. A Raphinha hat-trick and a Robert Lewandowski goal helped the Blaugrana to such a rout.

England captain Harry Kane scored for the visitors Bayern. This defeat, their second in a row, means that The Bavarians are in a lowly 23rd place. OSC Lille, who defeated Real Madrid in this year’s Champions League, saw off their city rivals Atletico Madrid 3-1.

Two goals from Jonathan David and Edon Zhegrova’s strike cancelled out Julian Alvarez’s opener. Last year’s Europa League winners Atalanta were held to a 0-0 draw by Celtic, despite having 22 shots.

Brest and Bayer Leverkusen drew 1-1, ending both teams’ 100% record. That’s your Champions League round-up for this week. See you at the same time on Tuesday next week.
