Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti claims Vinicus Junior is back to his best after he inspired their 2-1 victory at Braga on Tuesday.

The Brazilian set up goals for Rodrygo and Jude Bellingham as Los Blancos moved a step closer to guaranteeing a spot in the last 16.

And Ancelotti hailed his attacker, who has struggled for form so far this term.

He said: "I think he has returned to his best level. He has given two assists. You can say that he made the difference in today's game."

Harry Kane scored and assisted to help Bayern Munich claim victory at Galatasaray in the Champions League.

The England captain converted an easy tap-in after 73 minutes to give Bayern a 2-1 lead before assisting Jamal Musiala six minutes later.

In the first half, Argentine forward Mauro Icardi cancelled out Kingsley Coman's eighth-minute opener with an audacious Panenka penalty.

Victory extends Bayern's winning streak in Champions League group games to 16.

They maintain their lead at the top of Group A with three wins from three.

In an end-to-end encounter, Bayern Munich broke the deadlock when Musiala jumped over the ball with a clever dummy to let Leroy Sane's pass roll to Coman, who fired home from the edge of the area.

Galatasaray pushed forward in search of an equaliser and were awarded a penalty when Joshua Kimmich took out Icardi with a reckless sliding tackle in the box.

The striker was met with huge cheers from the home crowd at RAMS Park as he dinked his spot-kick over Bayern goalkeeper Sven Ulreich.

Icardi should have added a second for the Turkish side just before the break, but, despite finding himself unmarked, his shot was high and wide.

The hosts started the second half brightly and Kane cut a frustrated figure as his team-mates struggled to pick him out.

However, it did little to impact the former Tottenham striker's confidence as he attempted a daring backheel, which was deflected back into his path and resulted in a simple finish and his second Champions League goal for the German champions.

Martinelli raced 50 yards to score the opener in the final seconds of first-half stoppage-time, and on 53 minutes Jesus netted for the third straight Champions League game in spectacular style to put us in command.

Nemanja Gudelj headed Sevilla back into the game soon after, but we held firm to get the victory.

Brazilian magic sent us back to the top of our Champions League group at the halfway stage as Gabriel Martinelli and Gabriel Jesus struck to beat Sevilla.

Martinelli raced 50 yards to score the opener in the final seconds of first-half stoppage-time, and on 53 minutes Jesus netted for the third straight Champions League game in spectacular style to put us in command.

Nemanja Gudelj headed Sevilla back into the game soon after, but we held firm to get the victory.

Martinelli makes the difference

The players emerged to a cacophony of noise inside the Estadio Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan as the home crowd tried to gain an early advantage, but we would have the best chance of the opening 15 minutes. 

Gabriel Jesus burst forward and played in Martinelli who went one-on-one with Orjan Nyland in the Sevilla goal, but saw his attempt stopped by the foot of the shot-stopper with the ball unfortunately ricocheting off our man and out.

Ironically as the rain came down, the chances dried up as the half went on, but the next best two went to the reigning Europa League holders. Lucas Ocampos prodded wide after making a good run, and as the half entered stoppage time, Youssef En-Nesyri dragged an effort just past David Raya’s far post in what was the home side’s best move of the half.

That looked to be that for the first half, until our trio of Brazilians sprang Sevilla with a surprise in its final seconds. While the Spanish side were probing in our box, Gabriel cleared to Gabriel Jesus who skillfully trapped the ball, and then bettered that with a Cruyff turn that dazzled both Gudelj and Boubakary Soumare. 

That allowed him to feed Martinelli who had a whole half of empty pitch to run into, and he calmly used it all to advance around Nyland and slot into the net to hand us a half-time lead.

Harry Maguire’s header and Andre Onana’s stoppage-time penalty save secured Manchester United a vital Champions League win against Copenhagen in their first home match since the death of Sir Bobby Charlton.

Tuesday’s Old Trafford encounter allowed the club to come together and pay tribute to the World Cup winner and all-round gentleman following his death at the age of 86 on Saturday.

Charlton starred for United and in 1968 led them to European Cup glory at Wembley, where Erik ten Hag’s men would love to return for June’s Champions League final.

Goals from key duo Son Heung-min and James Maddison sent Tottenham back to the Premier League summit with a professional 2-0 win over Fulham.

Spurs had claimed top spot before the international break, but watched rivals Arsenal, Manchester City and Liverpool all leapfrog them across the weekend to raise the stakes of Monday’s London derby.

Fulham proved no match for Ange Postecoglou’s resurgent team and after Son grabbed his seventh goal of an impressive season in the 36th minute, he turned provider after half-time with an assist for partner in crime Maddison.

It was the latest example of the pair combining and a further nod to the present with Son’s once-famed partnership with Harry Kane, now of Bayern Munich, fast becoming a distant memory.

Manchester United paid tribute to Sir Bobby Charlton with a 2-1 Premier League victory at Sheffield United.

United are mourning one of their greatest ever players following Charlton’s death aged 86 on Saturday morning and goals from Scott McTominay and Diogo Dalot ensured they remembered him with victory.

But Erik ten Hag’s side could not be much further away from the one that Charlton famously led to European Cup glory in 1968 as they were lacklustre against a team who have picked up just one point this season.
