Luis Diaz’s double helped 10-man Bayern Munich maintain their perfect start to the season at the expense of defending European champions Paris St-Germain.
The German side made it 16 successive wins in all competitions, including four out of four in the Champions League to top the league phase table.
Diaz had a mixed night, scoring twice to put Bayern in control before being sent off on the stroke of half-time following a rash challenge from behind on Achraf Hakimi.
The Moroccan full-back was in tears as he was helped off with a serious-looking ankle injury, and the AFCON tournament held in his homeland in December.
Hakimi left the stadium on crutches, wearing a protective boot and PSG captain Marquinhos said: “We have to wait for the tests, they’ve done some minor tests.”
In a chaotic first half at Parc des Princes, Vincent Kompany’s side showed a bravery and willingness to press high up the field, which paid dividends when Diaz hit the opener in the fourth minute.
Ousmane Dembele thought he had levelled midway through the half with PSG’s first shot of the game when he chested in from close range, but his effort was ruled out for offside.
The Ballon d’Or winner then left the field with what appeared to be a calf injury moments later.
Bayern continued to ask questions of the hosts and were desperately unlucky when Serge Gnabry’s shot crashed off one post and on to the other.
But Diaz struck his second in the 32nd minute after stealing possession from a slack Marquinhos and coolly finishing.
The Colombia winger, though, was dismissed just before the break for his tackle on Hakimi. A yellow card was upgraded to a red following a review from the video assistant referee (VAR), with the Moroccan clearly upset.
PSG threw everything at Bayern in the second half, but constantly came up against a brick wall and looked like they weren’t going to find a route back into the encounter.
But with 16 minutes remaining, substitute Joao Neves stole half a yard of space to hit a bicycle kick beyond Manuel Neuer.
That effort reignited PSG and Neuer faced a barrage of shots in the closing stages, making several fine saves to deny Neves, Warren Zaire-Emery and Vitinha, as the holders suffered their first defeat of this season’s competition.
PSG next host Tottenham on Wednesday, 26 November (20:00 GMT), while Bayern visit Arsenal – who have also won all four games – on the same night (20:00 GMT).
Liverpool were back to their best as they dominated Real Madrid with an outstanding performance to secure a crucial Champions League victory at Anfield.
Arne Slot’s Premier League champions ended a spell of six defeats in seven games with a win against Aston Villa on Saturday, and the revival continued as Real were overpowered.
Liverpool’s victory was far more convincing than the scoreline suggests, with Alexis Mac Allister finally breaking the deadlock in the second half as former Reds defender Trent Alexander-Arnold watched from the bench with his new side strictly second best.
Mikel Merino scored twice as Arsenal comfortably beat Slavia Prague in the league phase of the Champions League to extend their winning run to 10 matches in all competitions.
It was also an eighth successive clean sheet – matching a club record set back in 1903 over two different seasons.
Spaniard Merino was starting up front in place of the injured Viktor Gyokeres and, just as he did last season when he deputised for Kai Havertz, the midfielder showed his versatility to provide a focal point and make a crucial contribution for his team.
Mikel Arteta’s side started the second half extremely well and doubled their lead seconds after the restart when Merino volleyed Leandro Trossard’s cross into the bottom corner.
He added his second in the 68th minute when he rose to meet a Declan Rice cross as home keeper Jakub Markovic came out but failed to collect the ball.
There was also another piece of history on the night as Max Dowman, at 15 years and 308 days old became the youngest player to feature in the Champions League when he replaced Trossard – breaking the mark set by Youssoufa Moukoko at 16 years and 18 days with Borussia Dortmund in 2020.
Napoli failed to score for a second match in a row as the Italian champions were held to a goalless draw at home by Eintracht Frankfurt in the Champions League.
Antonio Conte’s side were looking to bounce back from a humbling 6-2 defeat by PSV Eindhoven on matchday three, but struggled to create clear chances in the absence of injured midfielder Kevin de Bruyne.
Napoli started well but lacked communication in the final third. Rasmus Hojlund and Frank Anguissa got in each other’s way with both trying to head in Eljif Elmas’ cross, before the winger saw his goal-bound strike inadvertently deflected over by Scott McTominay.
Both sides have four points after four Champions League games.
