Manchester City suffered a rare Champions League defeat at the Etihad Stadium on Tuesday as Bundesliga side Bayer Leverkusen claimed a stunning 2-0 victory to end the hosts' 23-game unbeaten home run in the competition's group or league stage, Reuters reported.

The loss spoiled Pep Guardiola's 100th Champions League match as City manager and left the Premier League side provisionally sixth on 10 points after five games. Alejandro Grimaldo and Patrik Schick scored for Leverkusen, who are 13th.

Guardiola rested most of his regular starters for the first half with 10 changes to his team and the risky move backfired, according to Reuters.

Juventus substitute Jonathan David struck a stoppage-time goal to give his side a 3-2 Champions League win over Norway's Bodo/Glimt inside the Arctic Circle on Tuesday as the Italians grabbed their first victory in this season's competition, Reuters reported.

Juve officials Giorgio Chiellini and Damien Comolli almost missed the game after their plane was diverted to Sweden because of snow, and they might have wished they'd stayed there when the home side took the lead through Ole Didrik Blomberg midway through the first half.

As often at their Aspmyra stadium, Bodo began brightly and goalkeeper Nikita Haikin was a rock between the posts, but Juventus turned up the heat, equalising through Lois Openda's first goal for the club three minutes after the break, according to Reuters.

Newcastle United's three-match Champions League winning streak was halted on Tuesday as they lost 2-1 at Olympique de Marseille after Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scored twice for the home side, Reuters reported.

Harvey Barnes gave the visitors a dream start in the Stade Velodrome when he broke the deadlock from close range after five minutes with his fourth goal in his last three matches in all competitions.

Aubameyang turned the scoreline around though with two goals in four minutes shortly after the interval to give the French side their second win of the campaign, according to Reuters.

Chelsea rolled back the years with an imperious Champions League performance on Tuesday, sweeping aside a toothless Barcelona 3-0 to take a hefty step towards securing an automatic qualifying place and leaving the Spaniards fighting to avoid a playoff, Reuters reported.

After an early own goal and a red card for Barcelona’s captain Ronald Araujo at the end of the first half, teenager Estevao smashed in a fabulous second and Liam Delap got the third, and the Londoners also had three goals ruled out.

"It is a huge night for Estevao, a huge night for the whole club," said Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca. "Winning the Club World Cup has been important for the players in terms of confidence, they realise they can win against any team. A winning mentality is the only way to build something important, according to Reuters.
