We all could do with a break - but instead tomorrow we have more Champions League football!

Wednesday night =

Istanbul Basaksehir v Manchester United (17:55 GMT)

Chelsea v Rennes (20:00 GMT)

Manchester City

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola to BT Sport: "In the first half we played really well. In the second half we struggled for some moments but when we scored the second one it was over.

"We've had a good three games, nine points. We need three more points or one more point to qualify. We have five days to recover for Liverpool and then the international break.

"They had one or two chances [to equalise]. When we controlled in the way we control, we cannot finish games - we struggle with the second goal - but finally with an incredible goal from Gabriel Jesus and then from Joao Cancelo we win the game.

"John Stones is back, an incredible performance - almost perfect. It's not easy when you're a long time without playing.

"The forecast in the next three days says it will be sunny in Manchester. It's rare. We're going to have tomorrow off. After that on Friday and Saturday we'll prepare for the Liverpool game. But the players need a break."

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp speaking to BT Sport: "That was a performance we needed tonight. My boys played an incredible game, the front line defending and attacking was outstanding. Midfield organisation, desire, readiness. Top level, last line pushing up and knowing the threat Atalanta can cause. You win a game 5-0, you could score more goals but our goalie had to still make three world-class saves. Overall a really good game.

"It's about the players, it was difficult against us tonight, I don't think anyone could've defended against Sadio Mane, Mo Salah and Diogo Jota so it wasn't about the tactics or our system it was about the team.

"90% of my players have three games in the international break, my players are still on duty. After City this weekend it's only me who gets a week off. But we have to recover now and we will need it. Then we can see who is available and City are a different team so we have to make sure we're ready for that."

Bayern Munich looked in trouble as it was 2-2 against Red Bull Salzburg with 11 minutes to go, before the European champions scored four late goals as the Austrians capitulated.

Robert Lewandowski ended with two, there was an own goal from Rasmus Kristensen, with further Bayern goals from Jerome Boateng, Leroy Sane and Lucas Hernandez.

FC Porto were too good for Marseille as they Portuguese side scored early on through Moussa Marega, a penalty from Sergio Oliveira made it 2-0 and Luis Diaz added a third.

Marseille had a chance to equalise when it was only 1-0, but former West Ham midfielder Dimitri Payet blazed a penalty over the crossbar.

This was Porto's second win and they are second in Group C, three points behind leaders Manchester City.

Ajax are second in Group D, although five points behind leaders Liverpool. All the action happened in the first 18 minutes, with Antony Santos putting the Dutch side ahead away at FC Midtjylland in the opening minute.

Ex-Southampton midfielder Dusan Tadic added a second, before Anders Dreyer pulled one back back it was not enough for the Danish side who have lost all three group matches.

Liverpool hat-trick scorer Diogo Jota speaking to BT Sport: "I’m playing in the best team of my career so far. I don’t know if it's the best moment of my career but obviously scoring goals is my way of playing football. I’m happy with this, a great win away in Champions League, a good moment and a good night."

On his favourite goal of the night: "The first one was my favourite because it unlocks the game – for all teams it’s important to get the first goal in each game. We scored early so that’s a good moment for me and the team and then we can manage the game our way."

On playing with Sadio Mane and Mo Salah: "Obviously they are two world class players, we all know their quality which makes it easier for me to do my job because they are outstanding and we had a great game together today."

On what they can take into Man City game: "Well five goals, that doesn’t happen so often to score five in one game. The clean sheet as well if we can keep a clean sheet against City we will win the game."

Real Madrid captain Sergio Ramos: "It's a good result, three points in a group that had gotten tough. When you win, you recover emotionally, those doubts that generate bad results.

"You have to leave like this, it was a final, a life or death match. When you see that they equalise, you have to play it, go upstairs ... We bet on a card and it went well."

Just the 35 goals in the Champions League tonight!

Man City were in control but there was always that element of a lack of concentration. They were their won downfall at times and it was almost lazy. Olympiakos had opportunities to score which they probably should've done. At the end of the day they've got the three points but Pep Guardiola will say okay we've won by three goals but they need to up their game for the game against Liverpool at the weekend.

Lemmespeak: Foden is wasting his time in that blue shirt. He looks frustrated of late. He missed the bus to make his mark in yesteryears amazing City squads.

What a finish from Joao Cancelo, he's only just come onto the pitch and he's finished that like a striker.

Pep Guardiola will be happy to get the maximum points so far in the group stages of the Champions League but he will be bitterly disappointed with the performance tonight because it drops well below the standards that he sets.

But that's job done for tonight.

It was shaky for a while there but City come through as you'd expect in the end.

It's all over at the Di Stefano as Real Madrid beat Inter Milan 3-2 for a first Champions League win of the season thanks to Rodrygo's winner.

Real are level on four points with second-placed Shakhtar Donetsk, one point behind leaders Borussia Monchengladbach. Inter are bottom on two points.

Three goals in nine minutes from Bayern Munich mean they will beat Red Bull Salzburg to make it three wins out of three.

Jerome Boateng headed in from Joshua Kimmich's corner to make it 3-2 to Bayern, before former Manchester City man Leroy Sane curled in a fourth and Robert Lewandowski has just headed in a fifth.

Comprehensive.
