Paris Saint-Germain produced the standout result of Tuesday’s Champions League action, thrashing Villarreal 6-0 in Spain, while Bayern Munich beat Atletico Madrid 2-0.

Inter Milan also enjoyed a comfortable night against Feyenoord, with Galatasaray, Sporting CP and LASK among the other sides to pick up wins.

Atletico Madrid 0-2 Bayern Munich

Bayern Munich beat Atletico Madrid 2-0 thanks to second-half goals from Lennart Karl and Konrad Laimer.

Karl broke the deadlock in the 54th minute, taking advantage of a defensive mistake from Robin Le Normand to put the German champions ahead.

Laimer doubled Bayern’s lead 20 minutes later after being picked out by Harry Kane, leaving Diego Simeone’s side with little time to respond.

Villarreal 0-6 Paris Saint-Germain

Paris Saint-Germain ran riot against Villarreal, scoring four times inside the opening 17 minutes on their way to a 6-0 win.

Joao Neves opened the scoring in the ninth minute before Desire Doue and Senny Mayulu struck in quick succession to put the French champions 3-0 ahead.

Fabian Ruiz added a fourth after just 17 minutes before grabbing his second shortly after half-time.

Boly completed the scoring in the 78th minute as Luis Enrique’s side maintained their perfect start to the Champions League campaign.

Galatasaray 2-0 VfB Stuttgart

Aleksey Batrakov scored twice in three first-half minutes as Galatasaray beat Stuttgart 2-0 in Istanbul.

The visitors almost took an early lead when Jamie Leweling struck both posts, but Batrakov opened the scoring in the 12th minute after Roland Sallai’s cross fell kindly into his path.

The Russian midfielder doubled his tally just three minutes later, latching onto a ball over the Stuttgart defence from Davinson Sanchez before finishing past Fabian Bredlow.

Stuttgart had a Chris Fuhrich effort ruled out for offside in the second half as Galatasaray held on for the win.

Shakhtar Donetsk 0-1 Sporting CP

Issa Doumbia scored the only goal as Sporting CP edged Shakhtar Donetsk 1-0 at Stamford Bridge.

The Ukrainian side nearly broke the deadlock early in the second half when Kaua Elias saw his effort saved by Rui Silva, with Goncalo Inacio clearing the rebound off the line.

Sporting punished that missed opportunity in the 59th minute when Doumbia combined with Sergi Altimira before converting from close range.

Eduardo Quaresma almost doubled the visitors’ advantage shortly afterwards, but Shakhtar goalkeeper Dmytro Riznyk produced an excellent save.

Bodo/Glimt 0-0 Lille

Bodo/Glimt and Lille played out a goalless draw in Norway, with neither side able to find a breakthrough.

The Norwegian champions, who had beaten Borussia Dortmund 1-0 earlier in the competition, were unable to repeat that result against their French opponents.

Feyenoord 0-3 Inter Milan

Inter Milan cruised to a 3-0 win over Feyenoord in Rotterdam, with Yann Bisseck, Francesco Pio Esposito and Piotr Zielinski all on the scoresheet.

Bisseck gave Cristian Chivu’s side the perfect start when he opened the scoring after just eight minutes.

Esposito doubled Inter’s advantage in the 34th minute, leaving the Dutch hosts facing a difficult task heading into half-time.

Zielinski added a third nine minutes after the restart as Inter comfortably saw out the remainder of the contest.

LASK 4-0 Slovan Bratislava

LASK thrashed Slovan Bratislava 4-0 in Austria, scoring three times before the interval.

Jorgensen opened the scoring in the 19th minute before grabbing his second 18 minutes later to put the hosts firmly in control.

Marin Ljubicic added a third just before half-time, leaving Slovan facing an uphill battle.
