And the rest of Europe kept match with the two favourites for the Premier League title, led by Lionel Messi’s matchwinning double in PSG’S 3-2 comeback success at home to RB Leipzig.

England midfielder Jude Bellingham and in-demand Erling Haaland both played the whole game for German giants Dortmund but were powerless to stop a surprise romp for Group C leaders Ajax.

Marco Reus’ early own goal and Daley Blind’s drive made it 2-0.

Antony then curled home and ex-West Ham striker Sebastien Haller headed his SIXTH goal in three Champions League games this term.

Vinicius Junior netted on 51 and 56 minutes, including a superb solo goal, as Real looked sensational in the second half for a crushing victory at Ukrainians Shakhtar.

Only Sergiy Kryvtsov’s own goal separated the sides at the interval.

But Vinicius then hit a brace and teed up Rodrygo for Real’s fourth before Karim Benzema lunged home for the stoppage-time fifth goal.

But Moldovans Sheriff still remain shock leaders of Group D, albeit now level on six points with Real.

Porto stunned AC Milan 1-0 in Portugal, Columbia winger Luis Diaz pouncing midway through the second period.
