New Delhi: Arsenal extended their winning streak in the Champions League with a sixth consecutive win against Club Brugge. Manchester City won 2-1 against Real Madrid at Bernabéu, while Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) were held by Athletic Club.
Borussia Dortmund and Newcastle were also held by Bodo Glimt and Bayer Leverkusen, respectively. Juventus, Benfica, Copenhagen and Ajax picked up victories on the last night of Champions League action in 2025.
Defending champions PSG were held to a goalless draw by Athletic Club in Bilbao as they became the first club in this season's Champions League to stop the French side from scoring. Unai Simón made a couple of big saves, including two point-blank stops against Senny Mayulu and a late attempt by fellow Spaniard Fabián Ruiz.
Bardley Barcola came closest to scoring for PSG when he raced in behind, but his shot crashed back off the crossbar as the game ended in a draw at San Mamés.
Alejandro Grimaldo netted a late equaliser for Bayer Leverkusen to deny Newcastle United a victory. Anthony Gordon delivered a brilliant performance in the second half as the Magpies looked set to secure all three points, but Grimaldo smashed past Aaron Ramsdale with two minutes remaining.
Leverkusen took the lead in the 10th minute when captain Robert Andrich's header hit Bruno Guimaraes on the back and deflected in. Gordon levelled the match by drilling in a penalty in the 51st minute after Nick Woltemade had been fouled. The England man then delivered a stunning cross for teenager Lewis Miley to head in, but Grimaldo's goal helped the German club to secure one point.
Noni Madueke's brace and Gabriel Martinelli's strike helped Arsenal extend their winning run in the league phase. Madueke netted a stunning opener in the 25th minute of the game. The hosts came close twice through Aleksandar Stanković later in the first half, but Arsenal responded strongly in the second half.
Madueke headed in Martin Zubimendi's cross in the 47th minute before Martinelli cut in to curl a superb third goal just nine minutes later.
Nico O'Reilly's strike and Erling Haaland's brilliant penalty sealed a comeback win for the visitors at Bernabéu. Real Madrid opened the scoring in the 28th minute of the match as Vinicius Junior provided a stunning assist to Rodrygo, who netted with a clean finish.
Just seven minutes later, Nico O'Reilly scored the leveller for the visitors after Thibaut Courtois failed to clear a header from Joško Gvardiol. With half-time approaching, Haaland converted a penalty in the 43rd minute after a foul on the Norwegian international by Antonio Rüdiger. Substitute Endrick came closest to netting an equaliser for the Spanish club, but nodded against the crossbar late on.
