The 2022-23 UEFA Champions League got off to an entertaining start as the first part of group stage games for matchday one brought excitement on Tuesday.
Reigning champions Real Madrid began the defence of their crown in convincing fashion – defeating Celtic 3-0 in Scotland.
Vinícius Júnior, Luka Modric and Eden Hazard were all on target in the second half to ensure Los Blancos got off the mark in superb fashion despite injuries to Karim Benzema and Éder Militão.

Fellow group F members, RasenBallsport Leipzig and Shaktar Donetsk squared off at the Red Bull Arena in a game which surprisingly ended 4-1 in favour of the Ukrainian side.
Maryan Shved opened the scoring for Shaktar in the 16th minute but Mohamed Simakan equalised on 57 minutes, however, Shved netted again 60 seconds later.
Mykhaylo Mudryk and Lassina Traoré scored for Shaktar in the 76th and 85th minute to complete the rout.
Kylian Mbappé was at the double for Paris Saint-Germain as they overcame Juventus 2-1 in their group H encounter.

The Frenchman scored in the fifth and 22nd minute for the Paris club which was enough despite Weston McKennie’s 53rd minute goal for Juve.

In the other group H game, Benfica saw off Israeli outfit Maccabi Haifa 2-0, thanks to second half goals from Rafa Silva (49′) and Alex Grimaldo (54′).
Manchester City began the chase of their first Champions League crown with an emphatic 4-0 win at Sevilla.

Group E produced the surprise result of the round in Maksimir – Zagreb, Croatia.
