Matchday four of the Champions League, played on 3 November, produced a run of heavy results. Paris Saint-Germain, the holders, were the most emphatic side, while Barcelona, Inter Milan and Manchester United each collected wins that changed the picture in their groups.
PSG's fast start in Villarreal
Paris Saint-Germain won 6-0 at Villarreal, their fourth win from four matches, which leaves them top of the table. The French side scored four times in the first 17 minutes, through Joao Neves (9th minute), Desiré Doué (12th minute), Senny Mayulu (13th minute) and Fabian (17th minute). Fabian and David Boly added goals after the interval, in the 50th and 78th minutes. The four-goal lead came faster than any previous side in Champions League history, passing Real Madrid's 2011/12 mark of 4-0 in the 20th minute against Dinamo Zagreb. PSG are the only team with a maximum of twelve points so far.
Barcelona beat Aston Villa at Camp Nou
Barcelona beat Aston Villa 3-0 at the Camp Nou, handing the Europa League winners their first defeat of the season in the Champions League. Lamine Yamal opened the scoring in the 7th minute after punishing a mistake Villa made while building up play from the back. Raphinha scored twice after the interval, and the second goal was set up by Joao Cancelo with an outside-of-the-boot pass. Hansi Flick's side have now won three of their four matches. Leon Goretzka came on for Villa in the 62nd minute and had a header that went just wide. Prince William watched the match alongside his son Prince George.
Manchester United come back against Roma
Manchester United recovered from 0-2 down to beat AS Roma 3-2, ending a run of nine matches without a win. Matias Soulé (11th minute) and Donyell Malen (17th minute) had given Roma the lead. Bruno Fernandes pulled one back from the penalty spot in the 58th minute. Matheus Cunha then scored twice in the closing stages, and it was the club's first win since 10 September. Cunha was sent off in stoppage time at 90+1 after collecting a second yellow card.
Inter win at Feyenoord
Inter won 3-0 at Feyenoord's De Kuip, their second consecutive Champions League victory after a poor start to the campaign. Yann Bisseck put Inter ahead early in the first half, cutting inside from the edge of the box and finding the far corner with his left foot. Pio Esposito headed in from close range in the 34th minute after a deflected shot landed at the second post. Piotr Zielinski made it 3-0 in the 54th minute with a left-footed strike from around 18 metres. Bisseck, a 25-year-old born in Cologne, scored his first Champions League goal and hopes to be named in the Nations League squad that Jürgen Klopp announces on 5 November. Manuel Akanji and Gjivai Zechiël were both booked after a clash, and Tjark Ernst kept goal for Feyenoord.
