Plzen struck first, Rajatoral's 4th minute goal put the minnows ahead. But, Zoran Tosic's deflected shot equalized and soon Keisuke Honda's composed out side of the boot finish gave the Russians the lead. Plzen then did score, but it was in the wrong goal. They took too long to fightback, Bakos scored to make it 3-2 in injury time.

     Anderlecht were given a beating at home by Greek Super League champions Olympiakos thanks to a hat-trick from on-form striker Kostas Mitroglou. The 25 year-old became the first Greek in the Champions League history to net three goals in a game. His last goal was one of the best of the night as he took it past a defender and rifled a 22 yard shot into the top the corner of the Anderlecht keepers net.

     Despite conceding with 15 minutes to go, Manchester United took a point from Shakhtar Donetsk in Ukraine. Welbeck opened the scoring after Rakyckyj's clearance from a Fellani cross was met and struck well by the England international striker.

Identical to his first, Di Maria slotted the ball into the net from outside of the box to finish off a stunning display from Real Madrid.

     Paris Saint Germain grabbed their second win in the Champions League this season against Benfica thanks to a Zlatan Ibrahimovic double. A controversial opening goal from Ibrahimovic, which looked offside, gave the French side the lead and 18 year-old Marquinhos doubled the score. The Swede, Ibrahimovic, got his brace after he jumped and headed the ball into the net from a Thiago Motta corner to give PSG all three points.

     Manchester City suffered an embarrassing 3-1 defeat to reigning Champions League winners Bayern Munich at home. Awful goalkeeping from Joe Hart let in Bayern winger Franck Ribery's rocket of a shot from outside of the box. A long ball was met by Thomas Muller in the second half ; he took it round Hart and finished to double their lead. Robben hit the third and a late Alvaro Negredo strike gave City a consolation goal. Then, Jerome Boateng was given a straight red card for taking down Yaya Toure on the edge of the box when the Ivorian was about to score.

     Roberto Mancini made a great start as the new Galatasary manager by salvaging a point at Juventus thanks to a 88th minute Umar Bulut equalizer. A horrible defensive error from Juventus at the 36th minute gave Didier Drogba a great chance to score and the striker- cool as ever- slotted past Buffon with ease. Juve equalized after Vidal, who won it, scored the penalty. Then, Fabio Quagliarella headed the ball into the roof of the net powerfully from a Pirlo cross. But, the Italian's celebrations were cut short as Umar Bulut's composed finish gave Mancini's side a point.

     Bayer Leverkusen won 2-1 thanks to a brilliant curling free-kick from Jens Hegeler against Spanish side Real Sociedad. On the stroke of half-time, veteran captain Simon Rofles headed in a delightful cross to give the home side the lead but then, Sociedad won a penalty. Former-Arsenal man Carlos Vela took it but the keeper saved the day with a good jump to the left but the Mexican was alert and tapped in the rebound. Two minutes into injury time, Hegeler curled a free-kick to perfection right into the top corner of the net.
