Luis Enrique's side are third, although only one point inside the top eight, while Athletic are 28th and in danger of elimination. PSG dominated the game at San Mames and had most of the clear chances without beating home keeper Unai Simon. Fabian Ruiz fired two good chances over the bar, with Simon making good saves to deny Senny Mayulu on either side of half-time. The best chance came when Bradley Barcola raced through on goal and hammered a shot off the crossbar. And Ruiz almost scored a late winner when he was denied well by Spain team-mate Simon - with Yuri Berchiche clearing off the line. The Bilbao hosts, whose only shot on target came late on through Asier Hierro, sit two points off the knockout phase play-off places.

The result leaves Dortmund on 11 points, two places and a point outside the top eight, while the Norwegian side sit in 32nd after failing to win any of their opening six matches. When Julian Brandt opened the scoring for the hosts from Fabio Silva's pass it looked like being a comfortable evening for Niko Kovac's side, who thrashed Villarreal in their last home outing. However, veteran defender Haitam Aleesami headed in an equaliser for the visitors from a well-worked corner. In the second half former AC Milan striker Jens Petter Hauge again pegged the home side back with a close-range finish after Brandt had re-established Dortmund's lead. While the Bundesliga side were largely dominant, having 22 efforts on goal to Bodo/Glimt's seven, Kjetil Knutsen's side deservedly took the acclaim of a large section of travelling supporters at the final whistle. Prior to kick-off Dortmund legends Dede and Marco Reus were paraded on the pitch, with the former Germany winger announced as a club ambassador. Reus, who now plays for LA Galaxy in the MLS, made over 400 appearances for Dortmund and captained the club for five seasons. Dortmund travel to Tottenham for their next match in Europe's elite club competition on Tuesday, 20 January. Bodo/Glimt host Manchester City on the same evening.

Jose Mourinho's Benfica side began the league phase with four defeats in a row but have now followed up victory at Ajax with a home win against the Italian champions. The hosts came close to scoring with two opportunities in the space of 30 seconds but Franjo Ivanovic had a shot parried by Vanja Milinkovic-Savic with Fredrik Aursnes then firing wide when shooting across goal. But Benfica, who had to battle through two qualifying rounds to get into the league phase, took a 20th-minute lead through Richard Rios' flicked effort after Napoli failed to clear a cross into the penalty area. Rios then turned provider as his low cross from the right was superbly diverted into the net at the near post by Leandro Barreiro early in the second half. Napoli pushed to get a goal and a route back into the game but Scotland midfielder Scott McTominay headed wide following a corner after Benfica goalkeeper Anatoliy Trubin had denied David Neres. The result leaves Napoli 23rd in the 36-team league on seven points, with two-time European champions Benfica two places below them on six points. The sides between ninth and 24th at the end of the league phase will feature in the two-legged knockout play-off round, with both Napoli and Benfica needing to pick up more points to secure their spots. Napoli play at Copenhagen on 20 January and end with a home game against Chelsea on 28 January, while Benfica travel to Juventus on 21 January before entertaining Real Madrid a week later.

Much of the build-up to the clash was dominated by the exclusion of Mohamed Salah from the Reds squad after he claimed the club had "thrown him under the bus" and his relationship with manager Arne Slot had broken down. And with the Egypt forward left back in Liverpool, Szoboszlai stepped up to take the decisive late spot-kick after Alessandro Bastoni was adjudged, following a video assistant referee (VAR) check, to have tugged at the shirt of Florian Wirtz in the box. Inter keeper Yann Sommer dived the right way, but the power of the penalty proved too much and Liverpool held on for a welcome three points after a turbulent few days at the club. After a worrying run of nine defeats in 12 games, Slot's side are now unbeaten in four. The Reds have 12 points from their six Champions League ties and victory here propelled them into the top eight of the league phase, where automatic qualification to the last 16 is guaranteed. Inter dropped down to fifth, on the same points tally, as they suffered a first home defeat in 19 matches in the competition - since September 2022 against Bayern Munich.

The visitors went ahead in the 21st minute when Ansgar Knauff raced on to Nathaniel Brown's pass, held off Alejandro Balde and slotted the ball past Joan Garcia. England forward Marcus Rashford, on as a half-time substitute, made an instant impact as his cross from the left was headed in by Kounde in the 50th minute. The France defender scored his second three minutes later, this time connecting with Lamine Yamal's delivery when unmarked six yards out. The victory takes five-time European champions Barca on to 10 points from their six matches and, with two games to go, still in contention to claim a top-eight place that would see them jump straight into the last 16 and avoid the play-off round. Hansi Flick's side play at Slavia Prague on 21 January and end their league phase campaign at home to Copenhagen a week later. Meanwhile, Eintracht Frankfurt, seventh in the German Bundesliga, are in serious danger of being eliminated from European competition as they only have four points from their opening six matches.
