Inter Milan, FC Barcelona, Bayern Munich and Atletico de Madrid enjoyed successful outings in the latest round of UEFA Champions League matches.
Hakan Calhanoglu's penalty and an organised defensive display gave Inter Milan a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Arsenal in the Champions League.
Inter moved to ten league phase points with a 1-0 victory over Arsenal on Wednesday.
The hosts started brightly, with Denzel Dumfries hitting the crossbar, and despite Arsenal having much of the first-half possession, the Italian side took the lead from the penalty spot just before half-time.
Arsenal went in search of an equaliser but Inter dug deep defensively to see out the win, with Dumfries clearing off the goal line from Buyako Saka's corner and Yann Bisseck blocking a close-range effort from Kai Havertz.
Arsenal's Champions League campaign resumes at the end of the month away to high-flying Sporting Lisbon, but before then they have Premier League matches away to Chelsea then at home to Nottingham Forest, either side of the international break.
In another match, Robert Lewandowski's double helped free-scoring FC Barcelona secure emphatic 5-2 victory over Crvena Zvezda.
Inigo Martinez's deft header put the Blaugrana ahead, only for Silas to level after a well-worked Crveno-beli move.
