If we only had one word to describe today's UEFA Champions League matches, we would have to go with "hectic".
Ever since Chelsea destroyed Qarabag's defense, things got out of control in the most relevant club competition in the world. Lionel Messi's absence from Barcelona's starting lineup stole headlines, and it took one more former Blaugrana player to steal the spotlight away from "La Pulga".
We'll kick off at Parc des Princes, with Paris Saint Germain destroying Celtic's defense for the second time in this group stage. Neymar & Co. have made history with their seven-goal display against the Hoops, both for the club and in the competition.

Next we stop by Turin, where Juventus and Barcelona weren't able to break the deadlock. This is the second straight game in which Los Blaugranas have failed to score in this competition, and needless to say, that's something that doesn't happen everyday.
Barcelona have failed to score in back to back games in an opening CL group stage for the 1st time since September 2000 (lost 3-0 v Besiktas & 2-0 v AC Milan) #UCL

Last, but not least, we stop in Switzerland, where Basel shocked Manchester United with a late goal to claim all three points. The game saw Zlatan Ibrahimovic returning to the European competition, and he managed to set a record as he stepped in to replace Anthony Martial.
"New record: Zlatan Ibrahimovic is the first footballer in history to play at least one UEFA Champions League game for seven different teams (Ajax, Juventus, Inter, Barça, Milan, PSG and Manchester United). Anelka and Saviola owned the record previously, with six."
RÉCORD HISTÓRICO - Zlatan Ibrahimovic es el PRIMER JUGADOR que disputa la UEFA Champions League con SIETE equipos diferentes (Ajax, Juventus, Inter, Barça, Milan, Psg y Manchester United). En 6 se quedaron Anelka y Saviola.
