Lamine Yamal and Raphinha's double eventually eased the five-time European champions to victory after the Premier League side gave them a first-half scare. Matty Cash, Victor Lindelof and Johan Manzambi had chances, but Villa were left to contemplate what might have been. They had gifted Barca, who leapfrogged the visitors into second place in the league phase table, a seventh-minute lead when Joao Gomes' panicked ball across the box allowed Lamine Yamal to curl in his 13th goal in 15 games. Yet Villa refused to sit back and played their role in an open and engrossing encounter which almost delivered a leveller. Cash and Lindelof had shots deflected behind, while Manzambi scuffed wide before testing home keeper Joan Garcia. Villa tried to exploit a Barca side without a Champions League clean sheet in 18 games, but were left to rue their misses when Raphinha's low shot clipped Pau Torres to wrong-foot keeper Zion Suzuki and make it 2-0 seven minutes after the break. The former Leeds United forward then added a classy close-range third in the 64th minute after excellent work and a glorious pass from Joao Cancelo on the left, before Suzuki denied Anthony Gordon a fourth. Leon Goretzka's header glanced the post as Villa pushed for a consolation, but Barca finally earned their first European shutout since April 2025.

Things were looking bleak at Old Trafford when his side found themselves 2-0 down after just 17 minutes against their Italian visitors, who had not lost in their 10 Serie A games this season. A nine-game winless run had left Carrick's position increasingly precarious and a poor start left United facing another damaging defeat. But they stormed back in the second half with a show of character and class that had been missing in a troubled campaign where they had previously won just twice in all competitions. Captain Bruno Fernandes started the fightback from the penalty spot before Matheus Cunha struck twice in the space of three memorable minutes to turn the game on its head. What had threatened to be another night to forget became unforgettable for the Old Trafford faithful, while Carrick could breathe a little easier after his side pulled off an unlikely success. United, though, are hardly the first side to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat on Europe's biggest stage. Here are some of the greatest comebacks in Champions League history.

Teenage star Lennart Karl had a first half to forget, but he redeemed himself by breaking the deadlock with a sneaky finish nine minutes after the restart. The 18-year-old nipped in behind Robin le Normand, snatched the ball from the Atletico defender and chipped it effortlessly over Jan Oblak. Konrad Laimer doubled the visitors' lead, blasting a ferocious strike over Oblak and into the roof of the net after he was picked out in space by Harry Kane. Kane, playing in his first European match since winning the Ballon d'Or, had less luck in front of goal and missed the chance to make more history by equalling Cristiano Ronaldo's record for the longest Champions League scoring streak. The England captain had scored in his previous 10 appearances, but he failed to trouble the Atletico goalkeeper - shanking an acrobatic attempt wide before drilling a low strike off target. Oblak made a fine save to tip a deflected strike from Dayot Upamecano on to the crossbar, while Manuel Neuer had a quiet evening at the other end - facing just one shot on target from the hosts. Bayern remain unbeaten in the Champions League this season and they continue their campaign against Lille on Wednesday 25 November, while Atletico face Norwegian champions Viking on the same evening.

Some home supporters departed the ground before the clock had even reached 20 minutes as a rampant PSG netted four times within the opening 17 minutes. All four of those goals came as a result of sloppiness at the back from the Spanish club, which was punished by an attacking line who have already put four past Barcelona and Manchester City in Europe this season. Joao Neves delivered the first when he drilled in from close range after Villarreal failed to deal with a corner. The second came quickly as PSG latched on to a calamitous pass out from the back by goalkeeper Peter Gulacsi and worked the ball to Desire Doue, who fired home. Just a minute later Villarreal were caught out once again as they had possession snatched from them when playing out from the back and Senny Mayulu drove an effort past Gulacsi. Next, it was the turn of Fabian Ruiz to get on the scoresheet as PSG worked the ball back to the Spain midfielder in the box, who drilled inside the near post. Ruiz made it five after the break when he produced a deft touch to leave his marker on the ground before tucking the ball past Gulacsi. Victory was rounded off by 17-year-old David Boly, who surged up the flank and sent an effort in off the leg of a Villarreal defender. PSG are top of the league phase standings on a perfect 12 points and host Roma in their next match on 25 November (20:00 GMT). Villarreal have won just one game and travel to Slavia Prague on the same day for their next fixture (17:45 GMT).

Back-to-back losses for City handed the Gunners the opportunity to seize control of the title race, but they faced a difficult task against a rapidly improving Reds. They broke the deadlock in the 16th minute when Declan Rice's ball across the face of goal was turned in by Kai Havertz at the back post. But after that Arsenal had to withstand wave after wave of Liverpool attacks for the rest of the first half as the home side looked to get back level. David Raya just got to Virgil van Dijk's flick-on when Alexander Isak was set to pounce and the Reds had two penalty claims waved away before Florian Wirtz crashed a free-kick against the crossbar. Liverpool maintained their dominance early in the second half but Arsenal's defence had tightened up considerably and left very few opportunities for the Reds to exploit. The introduction of Myles Lewis-Skelly saw Arsenal regain the momentum in the latter stages and only a brilliant one-handed save by Alisson prevented Christos Tzolis making it 2-0 with a fine first-time strike towards the far corner. Ultimately, Havertz's early goal was enough for Arsenal to take all three points as they celebrated a first win at Liverpool in the Premier League since 2012. The loss for Liverpool means they are fifth but nine points behind leaders Arsenal.
