Manchester City rallied from behind to defeat Real Madrid 2-1 in the Champions League on Wednesday night.

Los Blancos took the lead through Rodrygo, but City equalised thanks to Nico O’Reilly.

But the decisive goal came from the penalty spot, with Erling Haaland sending Thibaut Courtois the wrong way.

Arsenal maintained their pristine record in the competition with a 3-0 victory over Club Brugge.

Noni Madueke scored both sides of the half, before Gabriel Martinelli continued his streak of scoring in every Champions League game this season.

In the other games, PSG drew 0-0 with Athletic Bilbao, Benfica beat Napoli 2-0 and Juventus saw off Pafos 2-0.
