Champions League schedule, scores and updates

(All times U.S./Eastern)

Top plays 

Mo Salah makes history with Liverpool: Salah made history scoring the lone goal against Midtjylland and passing Steven Gerrard to become the club's all-time leading goal scorer in the Champions League.

Neymar's opening goal for PSG: The Brazilian international was lights out today for the Parisians. He opened the goal scoring in PSG's 5-1 win over Istanbul with this far post shot, complete with a nutmeg to set it up, all while slipping on the grass. 

Luis Muriel's game winner: The Colombian international was subbed on in the 78th minute with a man advantage against Ajax after Ryan Gravenberch was sent off on a second yellow. Atalanta would apply the pressure and Muriel would score the game winner just minutes later clinching their spot in the round of 16.

Karim Benzema opens the scoring for Real Madrid: The La Liga side entered Matchday 6 needing a win to advance out of Group B and their long time goal scorer set the tone with this opening header.

Gladbach advance despite losing: The tensest minutes for Gladbach came after their match ended, when they stayed on the pitch to watch the final minutes of Inter Milan and Shakhtar Donetsk play out on an iPad.

Notable performances  

Let's rate some of the notable performances on the day, with one being the worst and 10 being perfection:  

Neymar, PSG: The Brazilian put on a clinic against Istanbul, scoring a hat trick, earning a penalty kick, and forcing the backline to keep a man on him throughout the game. He is the first player in Champions League history to score 20 goals for two different clubs. RATING: 10

Mo Salah, Liverpool: The Egyptian footballer had another big match for Liverpool as he scored the lone goal in their final matchday, as Liverpool coasted to first place in the group. He passes Steven Gerrard to become the club's all-time leading goal scorer in the Champions League. RATING: 9

Karim Benzema, Real Madrid: The French striker had his best performance of the group stage in Madrid's final matchday, scoring a brace on back to back headers. It was a must win for the La Liga side, and their long time striker delivered. His 527 appearance for Real Madrid now equals Roberto Carlos for most appearances by a non-Spaniard. RATING: 8.5

Ferran Torres, Manchester City: The Spanish winger has come up big for Manchester City in Champions League as the team was dominant throughout their group stage. Torres has scored four goals in five matches as City avoided some of the struggles that have plagued them domestically. RATING: 8.5

Key Moment

PSG and Istanbul Baseksehir: There is now an ongoing investigation regarding an alleged racist incident involving the 4th official and Istanbul's assistant coach. Basaksehir assistant Pierre Webo was shown a red card, which UEFA later froze leading to a confrontation between the former Cameroon international and Romanian fourth official Constantin Coltescu over the latter's language that the Turkish Superleague outfit have called racist.

In response to the moment, the two teams came together to walk off the pitch causing the suspension of the match. The match was resumed today in the 14th minute. Both teams, along with officials, knelt ahead of the match in solidarity against racism.

A look ahead  

Champions League will return with the Round of 16 Draw on Monday Dec. 14. Round of 16 matches will begin in February with first leg fixtures, with second leg fixtures taking place in March. All matches are available on CBS All Access.
