Barcelona came from behind to beat Galatasaray 4-1 in Istanbul. Aleksey Batrakov gave the Turkish side an early lead, but Joao Cancelo equalised two minutes before half-time. Fermin Lopez put Barcelona ahead in the 50th minute with a header from Lamine Yamal's cross, before Anthony Gordon scored three minutes later to make it 3-1. Fellow summer signing Karim Adeyemi completed the scoring after Gabriel Jesus helped the ball into his path following another Yamal delivery. Barcelona moved to six points from their opening two matches.

Manchester United suffered another setback with a 2-0 defeat to Atletico Madrid after conceding inside the first minute. Pablo Barrios opened the scoring after Alex Baena broke down the left and pulled the ball back into his path. United created several opportunities to equalise, with Bryan Mbeumo missing two good chances and Bruno Fernandes coming close after the break. However, Leny Yoro was sent off for a last-man foul on substitute Jonathan David, and Ademola Lookman sealed Atletico's win in the 79th minute.

Bayern Munich were held to a thrilling 3-3 draw by Norwegian champions Viking. Gianni Stensness headed the hosts in front in the second minute before Peter Christiansen doubled their lead in the 38th minute, giving Viking a 2-0 advantage at half-time. Harry Kane pulled one back from the penalty spot in the 54th minute before equalising six minutes later with an assist from Joshua Kimmich.

Sporting CP made it two wins from two with a 2-0 victory over Lens in France.

Issa Doumbia settled the contest in the 74th minute, running on to a superb through-ball from Silas Andersen before calmly beating Robin Risser.

Sabah claimed their first Champions League victory with a 2-0 win over Slavia Prague. Kaheem Parris opened the scoring in the 49th minute after collecting Ivan Lepinjica's cutback and finishing from the edge of the box. Slavia came close to equalising, but Sabah defended well before Joy-Lance Mickels sealed the win late on. Slavia goalkeeper Jakub Markovic miscontrolled the ball outside his area, and although Mickels' effort looked manageable, defender David Moses failed to clear it, allowing the ball to roll into the net.

Club Brugge defeated Inter Milan 4-3 in a seven-goal thriller, handing the Italian side their fourth consecutive Champions League defeat for the first time in their history. Nicolo Tresoldi opened the scoring from the penalty spot in the 30th minute before Lautaro Martinez equalised just before half-time.
