The Champions League returned with a bang last week with some monumental clashes including Bayern Munich versus Chelsea, Newcastle versus Barcelona and Liverpool versus Atletico Madrid.

On Matchday One, 14 teams emerged victorious and the current leaders at the top of the table are Eintracht Frankfurt and Paris Saint-Germain, both of whom won and won comfortably to earn a +4 goal difference.

Frankfurt defeated Galatasary 5-1, while reigning champions PSG beat Atalanta 4-0.

The German side top everyone after their five-goal tally on the night.

There were important wins for the likes of Bayern, Barcelona, Man City, Liverpool and Tottenham, while Club Brugge, Sporting CP, Union Saint-Gilloise, Qarabag, Inter and Real Madrid also claimed all three points.

The most entertaining action could be found at the Allianz Stadium as former competition winners Juventus and Dortmund played out a sensational 4-4 draw, with the Italian giants scoring two in injury time through Dusan Vlahovic and Lloyd Kelly to earn a point.

Which Champions League matches are on Tuesday?

The biggest box office attraction to be found on Tuesday is undoubtedly 'The Special One' Jose Mourinho's return to Stamford Bridge. He is arguably Chelsea's greatest ever manager and this week his Benfica side travel to London to face the Blues.

There is a definite 'favourite versus outsider' feel to Tuesday's action as we have bigger sides like Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, Inter and Liverpool facing unfancied outfits Pafos, Kairar Almaty, Slavia Prague and Galatasaray.
