It was a good night for Liverpool and Manchester City as both got their Champions League group stage campaigns off to a winning start.
Liverpool were below their best but saw off Dutch giants Ajax in Amsterdam thanks to Nicolas Tagliafico's own goal, while City were made to work hard for their 3-1 home win over Porto.
Elsewhere, reigning champions Bayern Munich began the defence of their title with an emphatic 4-0 thumping of Atletico Madrid, while Romelu Lukaku's double earned a point for Inter Milan against Borussia Monchengladbach.
Earlier on in the evening there was a huge surprise as a Shakhtar Donetsk side who've seen their squad decimated by positive coronavirus tests earned a famous 3-2 win away at Real Madrid.
