Madrid moved up to third in the Liga thanks to their first victory in three games in all competitions.

Roma lie third in Serie A above arch-rivals Lazio on head-to-head record after the Derby della Capitale finished all square. Eusebio Di Francesco made one change from the side that defeated Barcelona on Tuesday, bringing in Bruno Peres – and the Brazilian hit the woodwork along with Edin Džeko, while Ştefan Radu saw red for Lazio late on.

Champions Bayern made it 15 goals in three Bundesliga games – and 26 in their last six – with a ruthless home display. Sandro Wagner scored twice and Thiago Alcántara, David Alaba and Robert Lewandowski were also on target. Lewandowski now has 27 league goals for the season, three short of his best tally of 30 set in 2015/16 and 2016/17, with five matches still to play.
