Matchday two saw some sides look to recover from losses while others had their sights on a second consecutive win with a minority looking to build on a draw in their first game of the group stage.
A
Atletico Madrid recovered from their opening night loss to Olympiakos with a narrow 1-0 win over Juventus with the crucial strike coming just 16 minutes from the end when Arda Turan opened the scoring for the La Liga side and sealed their first points of the campaign. Malmo also got their campaign off the mark with a 2-0 win over Olympiakos with Marcus Rosenberg claiming a brace with strikes in the 42nd and 82nd minutes.
B
Basel recovered superbly from their mauling by Real Madrid by securing their first points of the campaign with a narrow 1-0 win at home to Liverpool with the Swiss side opening the scoring after 52 minutes with a strike from Marco Streller to hand a first defeat to the travelling Reds. Real Madrid recovered from an early shock to win 2-1 away to Ludogorets, the Bulgarians took the lead after six minutes with a strike from Marcelinho before a surprise penalty miss from Cristiano Ronaldo in the 11th minute maintained the hosts advantage.
Cristiano Ronaldo made amends for his earlier miss by converting from the spot in the 25th minute to level the score at 1-1 and the La Liga side ensured that their 100% start to the campaign would continue when they went 2-1 ahead in the 77th minute with a goal from Karim Benzema which sealed the points.
C
Bayer Leverkusen got of the mark in the group with a 3-1 win over Benfica with strikes from Kießling and Heung-Min in the 25th and 34th minutes putting the Germans in control at the interval before Salvio reduced the deficit for the Portuguese side in the 61st minute. However, Leverkusen secured the win in the 64th minute with a successful penalty from Calhanoglu for 3-1. Zenit and Monaco shared the points in a 0-0 draw which to be fair neither side will be proud of given they each had the chance to go clear at the top of the group.
D
Arsenal bounced back from their opening defeat in style with a 4-1 win at home to Galatasaray with Danny Welbeck opening the scoring in the 22nd minute before adding a second on the half hour mark for 2-0. Alexis Sanchez put the hosts in control at 3-0 in the 41st minute before Welbeck completed his hat-trick just seven minutes into the second half for a 4-0 lead. Wojciech Szczesny was dismissed for Arsenal on the hour with Yilmaz converting the resulting penalty for 4-1 but Arsenal held firm for the win.
Borussia Dortmund extended their perfect start to the group stage with a comfortable 3-0 win away to Anderlecht with Ciro Immobile opening the scoring after only three minutes. The Belgians did well to keep the score at one but were unable to draw level. Dortmund completed the win with a brace from substitute Ramos who struck in the 69th and 79th minutes to send the Germans clear at the summit.
E
Bayern Munich made it two wins in a row with a narrow 1-0 win away to CSKA Moscow with the crucial strike coming in the 22nd minute as Thomas Muller converted a penalty which proved to be enough to secure all three points. Manchester City sit five points off the summit after a 1-1 draw with Roma but City will be cursing their luck as after opening the scoring in the fourth minute with a Sergio Aguero penalty, they were pegged back by an historic goal from Francesco Totti in the 23rd minute who became the oldest scorer in the Champions League at the age of 38.
F
Apoel and Ajax shared the points in a 1-1 draw which saw the Dutch side take the lead in the 28th minute with a strike from Andersen but the lead lasted just four minutes as the Cypriots levelled with a penalty from Manduca which ensured a point apiece. In a battle between two heavyweights, PSG secured a 3-2 win against Barcelona with a frantic start seeing David Luiz put the hosts in front in the tenth minute before an instant leveller from Lionel Messi just seconds later.
Verratti regained the lead for the hosts in the 26th minute and they went even further in front in the 54th minute when Matuidi made it 3-1 before Neymar reduced the deficit to 3-2 just two minutes later but the Catalans were unable to draw level as the hosts held on for the win.
G
Schalke and Maribor shared the points in a 1-1 draw with Klass Jan Huntelaar putting the Germans in front in the 37th minute before Bohar struck an equaliser in the 56th minute to ensure a share of the points. Chelsea claimed their first win of the campaign with a narrow 1-0 win away to Sporting with the crucial strike coming in the 34th minute from Nemanja Matic which proved to be enough to secure all three points.
H
BATE secured their first points of the campaign with a 2-1 win at home to Atletico Bilbao with Polyakov putting the hosts in front in the 19th minute before Karnitski doubled the lead in the 41st minute but the deficit was cut just before the interval as Aduriz struck for the visitors in the 45th minute. However, that is how the score remained until the end as BATE secured all three points.
FC Porto staged a late fightback to claim what could be a vital point after they came from 2-0 down to draw 2-2 away to Shakthar Donetsk. Teixeira put the Ukrainians ahead in the 53rd minute and they extended the lead with just five minutes to go through Luis Adriano. However, Jackson Martinez reduced the deficit in the 89th minute before salvaging a draw with a penalty in the final minute.
