Antonio Rudiger fired a last-minute winner as Real Madrid hit back from 3-1 down to beat Roma 4-3 at the Olympic Stadium.

Donyell Malen struck twice early in the second half to put Roma in control after Kylian Mbappe had cancelled out Marten de Roon’s opener for the Italian side before the interval.

Shaktar Donetsk won their ‘home’ tie at Stamford Bridge 3-1 against AEK Athens, thanks to two goals in the last 10 minutes from Vinicius Tobias and Gleiker Mendoza.

Holders Paris St Germain produced a first-half masterclass in a 4-2 win against Manchester City, whose former boss Pep Guardiola was watching on at the Etihad Stadium.

Erling Haaland’s header early in the second period reduced the deficit and after Maghnes Akliouche had fired PSG’s fourth, the Norway striker struck his second.

Bradley Barcola fired a hat-trick and Ronald Araujo also scored his first goal for Liverpool as they won 6-3 in Austria against LASK.

Araujo’s header and a first-half double from £122million signing Barcola gave Andoni Iraola’s side a 3-0 interval lead and Jeremie Frimpong headed them 4-0 up early in the second period.
