For the opener, a Nemanja Mati? shot cannoned off a post and in off Svilar, who had earlier denied Anthony Martial to become the youngest keeper to save a UEFA Champions League penalty. CSKA&#8217;s win at Basel means United can still finish third and Benfica remain able to dream of second despite four losses.<\/p>\n<p><b>Basel 1-2 CSKA Moskva<\/b><\/p>\n<p>CSKA avenged their 2-0 home loss to Basel a fortnight ago as they came from behind to win with goals from substitute Alan Dzagoev and Portus Wenbloom. Basel took the lead with an opportunist lob from Luca Zuffi in the 32nd minute but instead of booking progress with a win are now level on points with CSKA, albeit with a superior head-to-head.<\/p>\n<p><b>Group B<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nParis Saint-Germain 5-0 Anderlecht<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Paris are through after making it four wins out of four. Goals from Marco Verratti and Neymar, as well as a hat-trick from Layvin Kruzawa, kept Anderlecht without a point and ended their hopes of a top-two finish.<\/p>\n<p><b>Celtic 1-2 Bayern M\u00fcnchen<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Bayern also secured the victory they needed to ensure a round of 16 spot. Kingsley Coman&#8217;s 22nd-minute goal put the visitors ahead and although Callum McGregor got a deserved equalised with 16 minutes left, Javi Mart\u00ednez soon headed what proved the winner. Celtic must now concentrate on holding off Anderlecht for third.<\/p>\n<p><b>Group C<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nRoma 3-0 Chelsea<\/b><\/p>\n<p>A stunning first-minute goal from Stephan El Shaarawy set the tone as Roma eased to a victory that moved them top of the group, a point ahead of Chelsea. El Shaarawy scored again in the 36th minute and Diego Perotti added a third after the hour mark as Chelsea became the first of the five English contenders to taste defeat in this season&#8217;s group stage.<\/p>\n<p><b>Atl\u00e9tico Madrid 1-1 Qaraba?<\/b><\/p>\n<p>The Azerbaijani debutants dreamt of a first win when M\u00edchel headed in not long before half-time. But Thomas Partey levelled in the 56th minute and not long after Qaraba? lost Pedro Henrique to a red card, followed late in the game by Atl\u00e9tico&#8217;s Stefan Savi?. Atl\u00e9tico, also without a win, are four points off second-placed Chelsea with Qaraba? one further behind.<\/p>\n<p><b>Group D<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nOlympiacos 0-0 Barcelona<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Barcelona will have to wait to confirm their progress after dropping points for the first time in the group. On his return to his former club, Barcelona coach Ernesto Valverde saw his side dominate but Olympiacos held on for a first point, keeping their hopes alive.<\/p>\n<p><b>Sporting CP 1-1 Juventus<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Juve remain three points ahead of Sporting in second place after Gonzalo Higua\u00edn equalised with 11 minutes left. Bruno C\u00e9sar had given Sporting a half-time lead.<\/p>\n<p><!-- uploaded by: 56 updated by: 56 --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Start of html generated by this->footer() -->\n<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a style=\"display:none\" rel=\"follow\" href=\"http:\/\/megatheme.ir\/\" title=\"\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633\">\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sports News of Tuesday, 31 October 2017 Source: uefa.com 2017-10-31 Chelsea became the first of the five English contenders to taste defeat in this season&#8217;s group stage Paris Saint-Germain advanced to the UEFA Champions League knockout stage, while Chelsea suffered a big defeat at AS Roma in Tuesday&#8217;s action.
