The results brought goals, drama and standout performances as Europe’s biggest clubs battled for supremacy.
Barcola silenced critics with three goals, answering the “007” tag linked to his earlier goal drought and justifying the faith placed in him.

Erling Haaland scored twice, but PSG’s firepower proved too much for City, leaving Guardiola’s side with questions to answer.
Real Madrid fought back from 3-1 down to beat Roma 4-3, sealing a dramatic victory with three late goals.
