Matchday LIVE: PSG held to draw as Man City, Liverpool and Real Madrid seal wins

Exhale. What a day of football that was with some crazy moments all over Europe. A goalfest in Manchester, a comeback in Liverpool, a late winner in Milan and a shocker for PSG. Here are all of the final scores: Inter 0 - 1 Real Madrid Atletico Madrid 0 - 0 Porto Club Brugge 1 -1&nbsp; PSG Liverpool 3 - 2 Milan Manchester City 6 - 3 RB Leipzig Sporting CP 1 - 5 Ajax

And it's all over!

Manchester City and RB Leipzig have traded goals as it's now 4-2. RB Leipzig originally made it 3-2 through Nkunku, who found the back of the net for the second time today. But that scoreline lasted just five minutes before Grealish scored in the 56th minute to restore the two-goal lead. <center> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"> "Class from the £100m man!"

PSG's new goalscorer?!?

With Wednesday's start, Lionel Messi is set to make his 150th Champions League appearance. He's only the third outfield player to reach that mark, joining Cristiano Ronaldo, who has 177, and Xavi, who retired with151 UCL appearances.

Another day, another milestone for the Argentine

Sebastian Haller has opened up on his four-goal explosion after leading Ajax to victory. &nbsp;"I still don't believe it. It's kind of a dream," he told UEFA.com. "I couldn't expect more than this. I am just happy and trying to enjoy tonight. "I just tried to be not too emotional because being so young and playing this kind of games it's a dream, so I was just focused on doing my job, focusing on the other team, tactically, physically and today I thank my team-mates for all this."

Haller on his four-goal outburst

Pep Guardiola called for support from Manchester City fans after the 6-3 win over RB Leipzig. "We scored 16 goals in the last three games here," he told BT Sport.&nbsp;"I'd like more people to come on Saturday. We will be tired. Southampton are so dangerous. I invite all our people to come at 3pm to watch our game."

A good point from Andy Robertson after Liverpool's nine-goal thriller. &nbsp;"It is one of them. Enjoyable for the neutral and I am sure the fans in here loved it by the time we got ahead," he told BT Sport.&nbsp; :First half an hour we blew them away. Then we got sloppy and stopped doing the things we were doing really well. We let them back into the game and walk in at half-time thinking 'how have we let this happen?' "It was important at the start of the second half to come and forget about the last 10 minutes and come out and do what we did for the first half-hour. "We got an early goal and then what a strike by Hendo and then we were able to see out the game. They didn't really have chances after that, which is really pleasing. We know how tough the Champions league is and how important it is to start with three points."

'An exciting game for the neutrals'

What a goal and what a moment for Jordan Henderson. The Liverpool captain did a heck of an impression of his predecessor with his game-winning strike, helping Liverpool earn all three points. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/news/henderson-inner-gerrard-liverpool-milan-champions-league/sqb4s8ga5zht1ensc9w5rx8th">Read what Liverpool correspondent Neil Jones had to say about it on Goal!</a>

Earlier today, Jude Bellingham broke a record previously held by Kylian Mbappe. With his goal against Besiktas, Bellingham&nbsp;became the youngest-ever player to score in consecutive Champions League appearances. The Dortmund star set that mark at&nbsp;18 years,&nbsp;78 days,&nbsp;breaking Mbappe's record set in March 2017 with Monaco when he was&nbsp;18 years, 85 days. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-us/news/bellingham-breaks-mbappes-champions-league-record-for/o1ufvk0ajnxf1hr4qrkldurxv">Read the full story on Goal!</a>

Ander Herrera has weighed in on PSG's 1-1 draw with Club Brugge today. "We knew before the game that they were a strong team," he told Canal+. "I think we played well enough to win the game. "We didn't play an incredible game, but we deserved to win the game. Their goalie was very good. We missed some chances, we'll get better. "We have a very offensive team. Sometimes when you're an offensive team you leave spaces, That's the philosophy of the team, of the club."

Herrera: We're a very offensive team

Safe to say Jack Grealish enjoyed his first Champions League experience. "I loved it. I've been waiting a while. The past few weeks, I couldn't wait for this game. It's a great night," he told BT Sport. "It was one of those games. It had absolutely everything. In the end, we're delighted to get the win against a good team full of energy and young players."

Mohamed Salah's goal was enough to get Liverpool back into the game, but it also saw him equal a Reds legend. With that finish, Salah&nbsp;equaled Steven Gerrard's Liverpool record for most Champions League/European Cup goals at Anfield. Both Salah and Gerrard have 14 goals, and it's a safe bet to assume that there will be more from Salah going forward. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-us/news/salah-equals-gerrards-liverpool-record-for-most-european/ucdqlizbzvfw1vocrbnl3moy7">Read all about Salah's new place in Liverpool history on Goal!</a>

A wild one in Manchester

For the fifth time in seven Champions League games under Mauricio Pochettino, PSG have fired fewer shots than their opponents&nbsp; Tonight, they were outshot 16-9 by Club Brugge as they settled for a 1-1 draw. Reason for concern?

PSG's shooting struggles

Real Madrid have seemingly won it late! An 89th-minute goal from Rodrygo puts Madrid in the lead against Inter as it seems like Carlo Ancelotti's side may just leave Italy with all three points.

GOAL REAL MADRID!

Another one. This time, Gabriel Jesus is the goalscorer as City pour it on 10-man Leipzig to make it 6-3. After Mahrez saw his shot stopped by Gulasci, Jesus steps in to add another one for the hosts, who have been rampant.

SIX FOR CITY!

Porto had seemingly taken the lead in the 80th minute on a goal from Taremi. But, after a VAR review, the referee ruled that Taremi had handled the ball in the build-up as the goal was wiped off and the game remains scoreless.

Porto goal overturned!

It all goes from bad to worse for RB Leipzig as Angelino is sent off in the 79th minute with a second yellow card for a clumsy challenge on Cancelo.

Red card to RB Leipzig!

Manchester City and RB Leipzig trade goals AGAIN. First, a finish from Nkunku, who completes his hat-trick, but City answer back yet again on a goal from Joao Cancelo to make it 5-3. <center> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"> JOAO CANCELO HIT THAT. 🚀 <a href="https://t.co/V3zoCm763L">pic.twitter.com/V3zoCm763L</a> — UCL on Paramount+ (@CBSSportsGolazo) <a href="https://twitter.com/CBSSportsGolazo/status/1438240885523693568?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">September 15, 2021</a></blockquote> <script async="async" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></center>

Haller again!

With the goal, Grealish now has a goal and an assist today. Pretty good Champions League debut, huh?

The stats behind Milan's first half

Second halves are kicking off. Let's see if they can match the first halves.

And we're back underway

Phew. A ridiculous 45 minutes of football. The Champions League really is back, huh? Here's a look at the scores so far: Liverpool 1 - 2 Milan Inter Milan 0 -0 Real Madrid Atletico Madrid 0 - 0 Porto Club Brugge 1 - 1 PSG Manchester City 3 -1 RB Leipzig Sporting CP 1 - 3 Ajax

HALFTIME

Make it 3-1 to City as Mahrez scored from the spot just before halftime to restore the two-goal lead after a foul from Klostermann.&nbsp;

City answer back

Make it 2-1 to City as Leipzig have pulled one back.&nbsp; Nkunku with the goal just three minutes before halftime, giving Jesse Marsch's team something to build on heading into the second half.

Leipzig pull one back

What is happening at Anfield?!? Milan scored twice in a matter of minutes after 40 minutes of absolutely nothing.&nbsp; A scrappy one as the ball carroms off several players in the box and falls right to Brahim Diaz, who is left with a finish that even one of us could score from two yards out. Anfield is STUNNED!

ANOTHER FOR MILAN!

Out of absolutely nowhere. Milan have been outplayed for the entire first half, but that doesn't matter much as Rebic scores in the 42nd minute. Liverpool's press falls asleep and Rebic is left all alone at the backpost for the equalising goal.

MILAN EQUALIZE!

Make it 3-1 to Ajax in what has been today's goalfest. Berghuis with the goal in the 39th minute as he joins Haller on the scoresheet for the Dutch giants.

But Ajax answer back!

Ajax's goalkeeper Remko Passveer is caught out as Sporting CP make it 2-1. After hesitating to come out, Pasveer lets a shot from Paulinho slip right past him in what was an awful sequence for the goalkeeper. <center> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-partner="tweetdeck"> The goalkeeper will want to forget this ASAP 🙈 <a href="https://t.co/Q0PQmSihNd">pic.twitter.com/Q0PQmSihNd</a> — UCL on Paramount+ (@CBSSportsGolazo) <a href="https://twitter.com/CBSSportsGolazo/status/1438225453446221833?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">September 15, 2021</a></blockquote> </center>

Goal PSG!

Salah's spot-kick is saved by Maignan, who then gets a hand to the rebound as well. A huge moment for AC Milan, who really haven't been in it through the first 14 or so minutes

Saved by Maignan!

Robertson rifles a shot that deflects off of Bennacer's hand in the 13th minute.&nbsp; His arm was raised as his back was turned, and the referee immediately points to the spot.&nbsp;

Penalty to Liverpool!

Make it 2-0 to Ajax as Haller has scored twice inside nine minutes.&nbsp;

HALLER AGAIN!

Trent Alexander-Arnold! Plenty of pressure from the Reds through the first nine minutes, and it finally pays off. It's deflected in, but no matter. Liverpool will take it as they go up 1-0 in front of the Kop.

Messi, Neymar, Mbappe... Oh my!

Hello all, and welcome to Goal's matchday coverage of what will certainly be a busy evening of Champions League football. Several of the competition's biggest contenders are in action this evening with there being quite a few clashes between heavyweights. Manchester City, after reaching the final last season, are set to open this season's competition against German powerhouses RB Leipzig while Liverpool will face an old rival in AC Milan. Real Madrid and Inter are set to face off as well while Atletico Madrid will take on Porto and Ajax head to Portugal to take on Sporting CP. Plenty of eyes, though, will be on Brugge, as PSG's attacking trio of Kylian Mbappe, Neymar and the newly-signed Lionel Messi will take the field together against Club Brugge.
