Erling Haaland struck twice as holders Manchester City moved a step closer to the Champions League knockout stages with a hard-fought 3-1 win at Young Boys slots
Haaland put City back into the lead on the artificial surface at Bern’s Wankdorf Stadium after Switzerland international Manuel Akanji’s opener had been brilliantly cancelled out by Meschack Elia slots
Substitute Julian Alvarez had an effort ruled out by VAR but Haaland made victory certain with a smart finish four minutes from time slots
The win was City’s third in succession in Group G and they could now secure their spot in their last 16 for an 11th successive year with a follow-up victory over the Swiss side at home in a fortnight slots
Celtic twice lost the lead but picked up their first Champions League point in a 2-2 draw with Atletico Madrid at Celtic Park slots
Kyogo Furuhashi got the hosts off to a flying start with his second goal in two Champions League games and Luis Palma quickly restored the lead after Antoine Griezmann had equalised from the rebound of his own saved penalty slots
Celtic were deservedly on course for a first Champions League group-stage home win in 10 years following a first-half display full of pace and purpose but they started slowly after the break and Alvaro Morata levelled inside eight minutes of the restart slots
The Scottish champions never rediscovered their spark – even after Atletico had Rodrigo Paul sent off in the 82nd minute – and their run without a home win at this level is now at 12 games slots
Paris Saint-Germain claimed a 3-0 victory over AC Milan in the Champions League to go top of Group F slots
The Parisians bounced back from their 4-1 defeat to Newcastle earlier this month with strikes from Kylian Mbappe, Randal Kolo Muani and Lee Kang-in slots
Barcelona moved a step closer to reaching the knockout stages after a 2-1 victory over Shakhtar Donetsk slots
Goals from Ferran Torres and Fermin Lopez made it three wins from three for Xavi’s side slots
Santiago Gimenez helped Feyenoord to a 3-1 win over Lazio slots
The Mexican scored twice during a convincing win at De Kuip slots
Evanilson scored a second-half hat-trick as Porto clinched a dominant 4-1 win over Antwerp and RB Leipzig’s 3-1 victory over Red Star Belgrade gave them a five-point advantage over third-placed Young Boys in Group G slots

England’s head coach Matthew Mott has revealed how the side’s “spiritual leader” Ben Stokes stepped in to rally the dressing room after their shock World Cup defeat by Afghanistan slots
Stokes, who came out of one-day retirement to help defend the trophy he did more than anyone to win in 2019, has yet to feature in India after suffering a hip injury on the the eve of the tournament slots
But Sunday’s upset in Delhi, where a side whose only previous win on this stage was a narrow one against Scotland eight years ago, led Stokes to address his team-mates during a dressing room debrief slots
Test captain Stokes is on track to return in Saturday’s must-win clash against South Africa at Mumbai’s Wankhede Stadium, but has already made his presence felt behind the scenes slots
“He’s like the spiritual leader of the group in many ways and he certainly spoke really well after the game the other day,” said Mott slots
“He spoke about that need to really assert ourselves, which he’s renowned for slots
I said ‘I’ve got this’ and just spoke, talked about the plan going forward for the next few days, and then Stokesy came in on the back of that slots
“He really reinforced what was a great message, particularly for someone who’s sitting on the bench and has a bit of a different lens on things slots
I think it went down well, it brought us back to controlling what we can control, really slots
”Mott’s own attempt at diagnosing England’s problems saw him suggest that the defending champions were suffering from a lack of self-belief slots
Having become the most swaggering side on the planet during their reinvention from also-rans to world champions under Eoin Morgan, England looked uncharacteristically tentative in their losses to New Zealand and Afghanistan slots
It’s that confidence slots

puff your chest out, go out there and really take the game onMatthew Mott“You don’t lose your ability overnight but you can lose your confidence,” he said slots
“It’s that confidence… puff your chest out, go out there and really take the game on, which this team has been renowned for over a long period of time slots
“On reflection we’ve been the reactive team in those two games, so we need to turn that round really quickly slots
“That was one of Stokesy’s biggest points – we’re normally the team that dictates terms and gets the other team unsettled, disrupted and for whatever reason we haven’t been able to do that slots
“We’ve always been on the back foot, trying to pull things back slots
What we need to do is dominate those first 15 overs whether we bat first or bowl first in the next game slots
”Brendon McCullum, Mott’s red-ball counterpart and joint architect of England’s ‘Bazball’ approach in the Test arena, made an unexpected appearance at the team’s Mumbai hotel on Tuesday after arriving on business slots
McCullum memorably said on his appointment last year that he was not interested in the limited-overs job on account of it being too simple in contrast to reviving the Test team, a position Mott suggested may no longer stand slots
“I just saw him down in the foyer and he said exactly the opposite!” he joked slots
“I said, ‘do you want to do a little swap?’ We had a good chat and good catch up slots
”Stokes’ likely return – which is all but certain provided he pulls up well after a thorough workout on Thursday – means Mott must grapple with a thorny selection issue slots
Harry Brook has been keeping his spot warm and would ordinarily be expected to drop out, but his fluent 66 was easily England’s best innings against the Afghans and made a strong case for his retention slots
Experienced seamer Chris Woakes and all-rounder Sam Curran are both vulnerable after struggling badly for form thus far, but with Stokes currently unavailable to bowl that only muddies the waters slots
“It’s still up for debate slots
We’ll have some really good, robust conversations over the next 24 hours,” Mott said slots
“I think we’re going to sit down as a selection group, get the numbers, get some theories out there slots
We’ll normally get to two or three XIs and then debate it, so all things are on the table at the moment slots
”David Willey and Gus Atkinson are waiting if England do decide to cut Woakes after three poor outings in a row, but Mott is not ready to draw an emphatic line under the long-time leader of the attack slots
“Over the history of Woakes’ career, he’s come out on top a lot more than he’s missed out,” he said slots
“He hasn’t been at his best, and he’s the first to admit it, but he’s got a few credits in the bank slots
