Tuesday saw Feyenoord rally from a three-goal deficit to draw 3-3 in the Champions League, extending Manchester City's losing streak to six games. After falling down three goals in the first half at the Etihad Stadium, City appeared to be on their way to win after suffering five successive defeats across all competitions. In the 89th minute, however, Feyenoord startled the home fans with an unlikely comeback that leveled the score. At the Stadio Olimpico Lluis Companys on Tuesday, Matchday 5 of the UEFA Champions League group stage, Robert Lewandowski scored the opening goal for Barcelona's against Brest. 

The Polish striker Robert Lewandowski goal not only helped Barcelona advance to the knockout round, but it was also his 100th goal in Europe's premier tournament, a feat that had only been accomplished by Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. TEven though they had to wait nearly an hour to score again, Barcelona maintained their dominance throughout. Dani Olmo, who was brought in by Gerard Martin, ducked past two Brest players with lightning-fast feet inside the area and then fired into the goal. Lewandowski scored his second goal of the night, and a third came in stoppage time. 

With a close victory against Paris St-Germain, who haven't won in the Champions League since September, Bayern Munich increased their chances of finishing in the top eight in the league phase. Seven minutes prior to halftime, defender Kim Min-jae scored the lone goal from close range after Joshua Kimmich's inswinging corner was not handled by PSG goalkeeper Matvey Safonov.

Arsenal defated Sporting Lisbon to get back in winnings ways

At Estadio Jose Alvalade, Arsenal defeated Sporting handily to resume their winning ways in the Champions League. Mikel Arteta's team took the lead early on when Gabriel Martinelli tapped home from a low cross from Jurrien Timber. In a similar manner, they extended the advantage when Kai Havertz prodded in from close range after Bukayo Saka got in behind the Sporting defense and sent the ball across the box. Saka whipped the subsequent spot-kick into the bottom corner to score the goal. Arsenal's fifth goal came when Leandro Trossard headed into an empty net after home goalkeeper Franco Israel parried Mikel Merino's ferocious effort from the area's fringe.

Castello Lukeba's own goal proved to be enough as Inter defeated RB Leipzig 1-0 at San Siro, even though they should have been more comfortable. This evening, when RB Salzburg visited the BayArena, Bayer Leverkusen easily won. Xabi Alonso's team had nothing icy about them, as they got off to a scorching start and jumped out to an insurmountable lead. With three assists and two goals, Charles De Ketelaere was the driving force behind Atalanta's decisive 6-1 Champions League victory over Young Boys on Tuesday.
