Berlin (dpa) - Manchester United missed the early entry into the second round of the Champions League and now even has to worry about remaining in the European premier football class.

The team of coach Ole Solskjaer lost against Paris Saint Germain, among other things by a brace from Neymar with 1: 3 (1: 1).

This means that there will be a showdown on the last matchday in Group H: RB Leipzig has nine points after its lucky 4: 3 (2: 1) at Basaksehir in Istanbul as well as Manchester and Paris with coach Thomas Tuchel.

United has to go to Leipzig on December 8th, the French receive the Turks.

In Dortmund's Group F, Lazio Rome has to tremble for the place in the next round despite the 1-1 (0-1) at BVB.

In the duel for second place, the Italians (9 points) play against Club Bruges (7).

The Belgians kept their chance with a 3-0 (1-0) win against Zenit Saint Petersburg.

In Juventus Turin 3-0 (1-0) against Dynamo Kiev, even Juve's superstar Cristiano Ronaldo was in the shadow of a woman despite his 750th professional goal.

The French Stéphanie Frappart was the first referee to lead a game in the men's Champions League.

The 36 year old's performance was flawless.

Last year she had already called the Supercup match between Liverpool FC and Chelsea FC (7: 6 after penalties) on August 14th.

Turin's victory had little sporting significance.

The Italians were already in Group G next to FC Barcelona (3-0 at Ferencvaros Budapest) as the last sixteen.

Frenchman Olivier Giroud was the man of the match day.

The striker scored all four goals in the 4-0 (1-0) of his Chelsea FC at Sevilla FC.

The Londoners and the Spaniards had already played their way into the knockout round in Group E.
