PSG rout Villarreal, Barcelona beat Aston Villa as United stage late comeback in Champions League

Paris Saint-Germain crushed Villarreal 6-0, Barcelona defeated Aston Villa 3-0 and Manchester United recovered from two goals down to beat Roma 3-2 at Old Trafford in UEFA Champions League fixtures on Tuesday, November 3, 2026.

Holder Paris Saint-Germain extended a perfect start to the competition while Manchester United's victory handed beleaguered manager Michael Carrick a reprieve; Barcelona relied on an early Lamine Yamal strike and a brace from Raphinha to secure their win. Bayern Munich, despite missing a host of stars, beat Atletico Madrid 2-0 to move into the top eight positions. Several other group-stage matches produced decisive scorelines across the day.

United trailed 2-0 inside 18 minutes after Mathias Soule opened the scoring in the 11th minute and Donyell Malen converted a 17th-minute penalty, but Bruno Fernandes pulled one back from the spot in the 58th minute. Matheus Cunha scored twice in quick succession, in the 83rd and 86th minutes, to complete the turnaround and was sent off in stoppage time. The late comeback altered the mood at Old Trafford after an early hostile atmosphere.

PSG produced a relentless first half, netting four goals within eight minutes through Goncalves Neves (9), Doue (12), Mayulu (13) and Ruiz (17). Fabian Ruiz added a second goal on 50 minutes and David Boly completed the 6-0 victory with a strike in the 78th minute. The scoring sequence set the tone for a comprehensive win on the road at Villarreal.

Barcelona opened through Lamine Yamal in the seventh minute and Raphinha doubled the advantage in the 52nd and 64th minutes to finish 3-0 against visiting Aston Villa. Raphinha's brace continued a productive goalscoring run for the winger, and Yamal's early strike provided an immediate lead for the hosts.

Bayern Munich defeated Atletico Madrid 2-0 with goals from Karl in the 54th minute and Laimer in the 74th minute, a result that moved Bayern into the top eight positions despite the absence of several regular players. Other group-stage outcomes included Shakhtar Donetsk 0-1 Sporting Lisbon (Doumbia 59); Galatasaray 2-0 VfB Stuttgart (Batrakov 12, 15); Feyenoord 0-3 Inter Milan (Bisseck 8, Esposito 34, Zielinski 54); Linzer ASK 4-0 Slovan Bratislava (Jorgensen 19, 37; Ljubicic 44; Adeniran 48); and Bodo/Glimt 0-0 Lille.

The results left PSG with an unblemished start in the Champions League, Bayern elevated into the competition's top eight positions, and Manchester United's recovery provided temporary relief for Michael Carrick and his squad as the group stage continues.
