| Ronaldo celebrates 107th Champions League goal |
Champions League holders
Real Madrid beat APOEL Nicosia 3-0 in Group H on Wednesday night, with
Cristiano Ronaldo straight back in the goalscoring groove.
Ronaldo is currently
serving a domestic ban for pushing the referee after being sent off in the
Spanish Supercopa clash with Barcelona last month.
But the Portuguese
superstar scored twice on his return - taking his Champions League career goals
tally to a record 107 - and Sergio Ramos added a spectacular overhead kick.
Man City, who won 4-0 at
Feyenoord, now have back-to-back home Group F games against Shakhtar
Donetsk and Napoli and it is the Ukrainians who have joined Pep
Guardiola's side on three points.
Shakhtar won 2-1 against
Napoli with Taison and Facundo Ferreyra on target, before the Italian side's
Arkadiusz Milik grabbed a consolation from the penalty spot.
Liverpool were held 2-2
at home by Sevilla in Group E and the other game in the group saw Spartak
Moscow draw 1-1 at NK Maribor, Aleksandr Samedov putting the Russians
ahead before Damjan Bohar equalised five minutes from time.
In Group G, Monaco drew
1-1 at RB Leipzig with Emil Forsberg's goal for the hosts quickly
cancelled out by Youri Tielemans.
Besiktas won 3-1
at Porto with Talisca, Cenk Tosun and Ryan Babel all on target.
Porto's consolation came from a Dusko Tosic own goal.(Sky Sports)
