Sporting Lisbon 4-1 Manchester City

Manchester City suffered their third straight loss in all competitions after being thrashed 4-1 by Sporting Lisbon in the UEFA Champions league.

Pep Guardiola handed a first start to Jahmai Simpson-Pusey in defence while Savinho and Rico Lewis were recalled after Saturday's loss to Bournemouth.

The Citizens got off to the perfect start to the game when Phil Foden opened the scoring after four minutes with a powerful finish after winning the ball high up.

Sporting were back on level terms in the 37th minute as Viktor Gyökeres raced through on goal and calmly slotted into the far corner for his third goal of the tournament.

The hosts took the lead a minute after the break when Maximiliano Araujo finished off a swift attack by drilling the ball through Ederson's legs.

It got better for Sporting three minutes later after being awarded a penalty for Josko Gvardiol's clumsy foul in the box, which allowed Gyokeres to dispatch from 12 yards out.

City were awarded a penalty of their own with 25 minutes to play following a VAR review,  however Erling Haaland was unable to capitalise and smashed his spot-kick against the crossbar.

Sporting wrapped up the win in 80th minute after being awarded their second penalty, which Gyokeres converted to complete his hat-trick.

Real Madrid 1-3 AC Milan

Real Madrid fell to their second defeat in the League Phase at the hands of AC Milan on Tuesday night.

The visitors got the breakthrough after 12 minutes when Malick Thiaw nodded home a corner from Christian Pulisic.

Los Blancos got back on level terms ten minutes later when Vinicius Junior converted a penalty after the Brazilian was brought down by Emerson.

Milan were able to restore their lead when Alvaro Morata netted against his former team with a close range finish after Rafael Leao's initial shot was saved by Andry Lunin.

The Serie A side made the game safe in the 73rd minute when Leao surged towards the box before picking out Tijjani Reijnders, who controlled well before firing home.

Liverpool 4-0 Bayer Leverkusen

Liverpool maintained their winning start in the League Phase with 4-0 victory over Bayer Leverkusen at Anfield.

After a scoreless first half, the Reds raced into a two-goal lead after Luis Diaz and Cody Gakpo scored in quick succession after the hour mark.

Diaz would go on to get his second with seven minutes left on the clock, before the Colombian completed his hat-trick in second-half stoppage time.

Lille 1-1 Juventus 

Juventus battled back to secure a 1-1 draw against LOSC Lille at the Decathlon Arena.

It was the home side who got the breakthrough in the 27th minute with his fifth goal in the Champions League campaign.

The Serie A out were able to get back on level terms on the hour mark, with Dusan Vlahovic converting a penalty.
