Arsenal pulled a draw while Bacerlona,Bayern and Athletico Madrid wins the match day 1 Champions league fixture.


Alexis Sanchez salvaged a point for Arsenal from their limp Champions League opener at Paris St-Germain.

Edinson Cavani glanced PSG ahead after 42 seconds and
should have had a hat-trick before half-time, firing wide after rounding David Ospina before slipping to fluff a simple finish.

Sanchez rifled in the rebound from Arsenal's first shot on target.

Alex Iwobi might have had a late Arsenal winner before Olivier Giroud and PSG's Marco Verratti were sent off.

Substitute Giroud was brought on to enliven a tame attacking display and picked up two yellow cards in his 27 minutes, the second for an altercation in which Italian midfielder Verratti also picked up a second yellow.

The Gunners were often exposed by the pace of Cavani, Angel di Maria and Serge Aurier and relied on their Colombian goalkeeper Ospina - preferred to Petr Cech - to keep them in it.

Iwobi's low shot was tipped away by Alphonse Areola after Sanchez's equaliser, while PSG would have had a 94th-minute winner had defender Marquinhos not wastefully headed wide from close range.

Anything more than a point for Arsenal would have been harsh on PSG, who outperformed their Premier League opponents but failed to take their chances.

In the other match in Group A, Swiss side Basel were held to a 1-1 draw at home to Ludogorets Razgrad of Bulgaria.
Other match centers Bacerlona trash Celtic 7 nil with Lionel Messi scoring a Hat-trick and Luis Suarez a brace.Also Neyma and Andres Iniesta made their names registered on the score with a goal apiece. while the other fixture in Group C between Manchester City and Borussia Monchengladbach has been rescheduled for Wednesday due to adverse weather.

In Group B, Anderson Talisca produced a stunning 93rd-minute free-kick to earn Besiktas a 1-1 draw against his parent club Benfica.

"It's a draw that feels like a victory," said Besiktas midfielder Ricardo Quaresma.

Talisca's strike in Lisbon leaves both sides adrift of Napoli, who came from behind as summer signing Arkadiusz Milik struck twice in nine minutes to overhaul Dynamo Kiev's lead before half-time in Ukraine.

Saul Niguez's scissor kick from 18 yards proved decisive for Atletico, who had goalkeeper Jan Oblak to thank for saving Andres Guardado's penalty on the stroke of half-time.

English referee Martin Atkinson ruled out "a good goal", according to PSV boss Phillip Cocu, after Luuk de Jong's fifth-minute effort was disallowed in Eindhoven.
