Liverpool have made a stunning start in the competition under coach Arne Slot, winning all six of their matches to move provisionally five points clear of second-placed Inter Milan. The English giants were given a tough night by Champions League debutants Girona, who fell to a fifth defeat and are on the verge of elimination.

“In six games, I’m really pleased with all the results... [but] I’m far from pleased about the performance tonight,” Slot told reporters. “[We had] hardly any control at all over the game, maybe the second half was a bit better, but then I’m trying to be positive.”
Salah sent Paulo Gazzaniga the wrong way to net his 50th Champions League goal. Meanwhile, Bayern Munich routed Shakhtar Donetsk 5-1 to move into the automatic qualifying positions for the round of 16. Michael Olise scored a wonderful solo goal for his first of two in the game.
