For his return to the Champions League on Tuesday evening, Lille could not do better than a draw at the Pierre-Mauroy stadium against the Germans of Wolfsburg (0-0).

Despite numerous occasions, Jocelyn Gourvennec's men have remained silent.

They could have won by the smallest of margins thanks to a goal from forward Jonathan David, but it was denied.

In Group G, all teams have one point, as Seville and Salzburg also drew (1-1) earlier in the evening in Andalusia.

Cristiano Ronaldo scorer but beaten in Switzerland

Always as effective, Cristiano Ronaldo scored upon his return to competition with Manchester United, but could not prevent the Red Devils from giving in to Bern (2-1), who created the feat.

The realism of "CR7", already double scorer in the league on Saturday against Newcastle (4-1), was not enough to dominate the restless Young Boys, compact, and in numerical superiority from the expulsion of Wan- Bissaka (35th).

The Swiss champions stuck to the score on a recovery from Ngamaleu (66th), then took the advantage in stoppage time thanks to Siebatcheu (90th + 5).

Bayern too powerful for Barcelona

A year after the terrible 8-2 inflicted on the Catalans in the quarter-finals of the last edition, Bayern Munich reaffirmed its superiority over FC Barcelona, ​​lacking 3-0 benchmarks on Tuesday at Camp Nou.

For their first in more than fifteen years in the Champions League without Lionel Messi, the Catalans have suffered from his absence and a gap separates them from the German giant, who has imposed himself based on his unbeatable admirals Thomas Müller (34th) and Robert Lewandowski (56th, 85th).

Juventus regains color

Thanks to a placed header from Romelu Lukaku, Chelsea began victoriously defending their title by beating the Russians of Zenit Saint Petersburg (1-0). For its part, Juventus, stationary in the league with only one point in three matches, took advantage of the return of the Champions League to start its season with an authoritative victory in Malmö (3-0) in Sweden. The South American internationals, left to rest Saturday in Naples (1-2) after their late return to Europe, set the pace: center of Colombian Juan Cuadrado for the plunging head of Brazilian Alex Sandro for the 1-0 (23rd) then penalty from the Argentinian Paulo Dybala for the 2-0 (45th).
