Uefa Champions League action returned on Tuesday night. 16 teams were in action as the group stage entered matchday 5.

The night games were filled with plenty of drama starting from North London where Jose Mourinho made it two wins out of two as Tottenham Hotspur manager.

The Portuguese’s side had trailed 2-0 after 30 minutes but staged a remarkable fightback to claim a 4-2 victory over Olympiacos. They qualify alongside Bayern Munich –  who beat Red Star Belgrade 6-0 thanks to Robert Lewandowski’s four goals –  to the knockout stage from Group B.

Real Madrid surrendered a two-goal as PSG fought back to earn a draw at Santiago Bernabeu. Real looked on course for victory following two goals from striker Karim Benzema but the Parisians hit back through Mbappe and Sarabia.

The draw means PSG top Group A with 13 points from five games while Real are second on eight. Both teams have qualified for the knockout stage.

Paulo Dybala produced a stunning free-kick as Juventus claimed a 1-0 win over Atletico Madrid and in the process clinch top spot in Group D. Elsewhere, Bayer Leverkusen can still overtake Atletico thanks to a 2-0 win over Lokomotiv Moscow who head out of the competition.

Atalanta beat Dinamo Zagreb 2-0, keeping their hopes alive in Group C where three sides can still take 2nd spot.

Shakhtar Donetsk currently lead the way thanks to their 1-1 draw against Manchester City at the Etihad.

And finally, Galatasaray drew a dead rubber 1-1 against Club Brugges, the Belgian side equalising in the last minute and sparking huge celebrations as it confirms their passage into the Europa League.
