Matchday four saw the reverse meetings from the stunning goal fest that was matchday three though this time around, the results were reasonably closer as a whole with only four sides striking four or more times.
A
Atletico Madrid sit top of the group after securing a 2-0 win away to Malmo with Koke opening the scoring on the half hour mark before Garcia sealed all three points with a strike in the 78th minute. Juventus sit level on points with Olympiakos after they claimed a 3-2 win at home to the Greeks with Andrea Pirlo opening the scoring in the 21st minute. Botia levelled for Olympiakos just three minutes later before the visitors completed the comeback with a 61st minute strike from Ndinga. However, the Italians bounced back superbly thanks to an own goal from Gago (65) and a crucial third from Pogba (66) which sealed all three points.
B
Real Madrid continued their perfect record in the group with a 1-0 win over a very changed Liverpool side with Karim Benzema sealing all three points and a place in the knockout stages with a 27th minute strike. Basel moved into second place with a comfortable 4-0 win at home to Ludogorets with strikes from Embolo (34) and Gonzalez (40) putting the Swiss in firm control at the interval. The win was confirmed with two further goals either side of the hour with Gashi notching a third in the 59th minute and Suchy making it 4-0 in the 65th minute.

Arsenal blew the chance to advance to the next stage as they let a 3-0 lead slip at home to Anderlecht who salvaged a 3-3 draw late on, Mikel Arteta opened the scoring with a penalty in the 25th minute before Alexis Sanchez added a second just four minutes later. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain made it 3-0 in the 58th minute before a double from Anthony Vanden Borre in the 61st and 73rd minutes made it 3-2 ahead of a last-gasp leveller from Mitrovic which sealed a point.

Doumbia struck for a second time in the 34th minute to put the Russians in control but City's hopes of levelling evaporated in the space of 11 minutes with Yaya Toure sent off in the 70th minute before Fernandinho was also dismissed nine minutes from the end to end a miserable evening at the Etihad.

Ajax's hopes of levelling suffered a double blow with the sending off of Veltman in the 71st minute followed by Messi's record equalling second in the 76th minute which put him level with the legendary Raul as all time top scorers in the competition.

Nemanja Matic ensured the Blues maintained their unbeaten record with a leveller in the 73rd minute to claim a point. Schalke missed the chance to go level at the top as they fell to a 4-2 defeat away to Sporting despite taking a 17th minute lead after an own goal from Slimani.
