In Paris, we had eight goals in a back-and-forth game between PSG and Tottenham. Both sides held the lead in the contest, but it was the hosts who eventually put the game to bed, winning 5-3 as Vitinha scored a hat-trick.
Perhaps the biggest clash of the night was between Arsenal and Bayern Munich, two favourites for the crown at the end of the season. It was the home side Arsenal who were better on the night, beating their Bavarian opponents 3-1.
Sporting had a much easier time of it in Lisbon, seeing off Club Brugge 3-0.
