Roma will travel to Portugal in the second leg with a narrow advantage after a 2-1 win over FC Porto. A tight first hour saw the side remain locked at 0-0 before three goals in just nine minutes shaped the evening, Nicolo Zaniolo putting the hosts in front on 70 minutes and adding to the lead six minutes later. Adrian Lopez struck what could be a vital away goal for the visitors with 79 minutes on the clock.
Real Madrid continued the defence of their title with a 2-1 win at Ajax Amsterdam. Karim Benzema put the visitors ahead on the hour mark before Hakim Ziyech levelled on 75 minutes for 1-1. The visitors sealed the win late on as Marco Asensio struck three minutes from the end.
A comfortable 3-0 win for Tottenham Hotspur at home to Borussia Dortmund gives them a huge advantage ahead of the return leg in Germany.

The second phase of game began with a complete blank as last season's runners-up Liverpool were held to a goalless draw by Bayern Munich. The second tie of the evening also saw a goalless draw as Olympique Lyonnais and Barcelona also cancelled each other out in a 0-0 stalemate.

City's task increased just after the hour as Nicolas Otamendi was dismissed on 65 minutes, however rather than fold the 10 men battled back and not only levelled through Leroy Sane on 86 minutes but completed the comeback in added time with Raheem Sterling's strike.
