Erling Haaland scored against his former club as his Manchester City cruised to a 4-1 win over Borussia Dortmund on Wednesday in the Champions League, while Barcelona grabbed a point in a 3-3 draw thanks to a Club Brugge's own goal.
Haaland added his name to the scoresheet five minutes after Phil Foden's opener in the 22nd minute.
Foden completed his brace in the 57th before Dortmund pulled one back in the 72nd. But Rayan Cherki restored City's three-goal advantage in stoppage time.
Brugge had the lead three times against Barcelona, but had to share the points after Christos Tzolis scored an own goal in the 77th to give Barça their final equalizer.
Brugge thought they had sealed an epic win in stoppage time, but Romeo Vermant's goal was ruled out due to a foul in the play.
Bayer Leverkusen, meanwhile, defeated Benfica 1-0 to bounce back from a 7-2 defeat to title holders Paris Saint-Germain in the previous matchday two weeks ago.
Runners-up Inter Milan made it four wins in as many games with a 2-1 triumph against Kairat Almty. Inter, Arsenal and leaders Bayern Munich are the only teams who have won all of their Champions League games so far this season.
Elsewhere, Newcastle defeated Athletic Bilbao 2-0, Galatasaray won at Ajax 3-0 and Atalanta claimed a narrow 1-0 win at Olympique Marseille.
