Paris St Germain scored a historic hat-trick against Real Madrid in the Champions League, while Tottenham wasted a 2-0 lead against Olympiacos.

PSG had a very difficult test without the terrifying attacking trio of suspended Neymar, injured Killian Mbappe and Uruguayan Adinson Cavani.

The men of the German coach Thomas Tokel showed their abilities in front of the prince's garden against the old Real Madrid, the former Argentinian player Angel Di Maria doubled, and added Belgian full-back Toma Munier third in the net against the defending champion 13 times.

The capital's attack was not modest, with newcomers Pablo Sarabia and Mauro Icardi in danger ahead of Belgian Thibaut Courtois, who played against his former Costa Rican substitute Keylor Navas.

With the return of the terrible trio, the Qatari-owned team hope to reach the final - at least - for the first time in their history.

Liverpool lose
The combination of loss of attacking efficiency and reluctant defense has inflicted a new loss on Liverpool at home to Napoli with an explicit double at the San Paolo.

The attacking trio of Egyptian Mohamed Salah, Senegal's Sadio Mane and Brazil's Roberto Firmino missed several chances against the southern team on Tuesday, while Europe's best player Virgil van Dijk made an unusual mistake that allowed Fernando Llorente to score the reassuring goal.

The Reds' first loss, which has been their 14th consecutive league win, was a 3-0 loss to Barcelona in the first leg of their last semi-final in Spain.

"It hurts because we got our chances," said German coach Juergen Klopp, who lost 1-0 at Napoli last season before returning from afar and lifting their sixth title.

Cooler Spurs
Tottenham, last season's runners-up, missed a two-goal lead for the second time this season and were held to a 2-2 home draw by Olympiakos.

Argentine coach Mauricio Pochettino criticized his players' desire after an unpleasant performance saved by duo Harry Kane and Brazilian Lucas Mora.

"It's not about the tactics or the quality of the players, but how to prepare yourself to be ready to fight," said Pochettino, who saw his side draw after a 2-0 lead at Arsenal earlier this month.

The Spurs have won only three times in their last 12 games of all competitions.

Salzburg and the new Ajax
Austrian champions Salzburg made a strong mark in their first group game since 1994, when young Norwegian Erling Halland scored a hat-trick in a 6-2 win over Belgian Genk.

The 19-year-old, who has scored 17 goals in nine games this season, believes that his team can follow in the footsteps of Ajax Amsterdam, known for producing young talent and battling champions, when he eliminated Real Madrid and Juventus from the last version.

"Everything is possible. We all saw Ajax last season, it would be nice to be the new Ajax," he told UEFA.
