There was no shortage of surprises on a remarkable Champions League night. It started with Manchester City, suffering a resounding defeat at Bodo/Glimt, but Paris Saint-Germain followed suit, brought down by a brace from Luis Suarez. Sporting asserted the law of Alvalade, where they have won every match in the tournament so far, and this time it was the French side that paid the price. It all happened in the second half, with the Colombian scoring the first goal off a set piece. The equalizer was a gem from Kvaratskhelia, who cut inside and fired into the top corner, but just as the 90th minute ticked over, Chevalier made a sloppy deflection on Trincao’s shot, and Suarez headed it in for the final 2-1.
An Australian Open-style scoreline for Real Madrid, who rediscover the warmth of the Bernabéu with a flurry of goals. Mbappé scores a brace early on against his former team, Monaco, then in the second half the Blancos run riot: Mastantuono, then Kehrer’s own goal, followed by Vinicius’s seal. Teze narrows the gap by punishing a reckless Real clearance, and Bellingham rounds off the scoring by rounding the goalkeeper.
other matches— A huge win for Tottenham, who beat Borussia Dortmund in the head-to-head battle for eighth place. Romero broke the deadlock by finishing off a pass in the center of the box, and Solanke doubled the lead by deflecting the ball off himself. The Germans were unable to respond, largely due to Svensson’s 26th-minute red card for a dangerous tackle. It also ended 2-0 in Athens, with Olympiacos defeating Bayer Leverkusen: Costinha scored with a header off a corner, and Taremi finished a counterattack in fine style. Ajax had reason to smile, coming from behind to beat Villarreal: Oluwaseyi gave the Spaniards false hope, Gloukh equalized with a curling free kick, and Edvardsen sealed the comeback with a precise right-footed shot. It was all smooth sailing for Bruges on the road against Kairat Almaty (1-4).
