Yesterday's champions league football results were very surprising and included a huge upset for Chelsea in their clash vs Roma. We also got to see Man United, Chelsea, Barcelona, Bayern Munich and more big names from European football as the battles continue to make it through the group stages of the UEFA Champions League!
Roma Vs Chelsea
The Roma vs Chelsea game was easily the most entertaining game of the day as Chelsea fell apart in the first minute which ultimately lead to a disastrous 3-0 defeat away from home to the Italian club Roma. This loss means Chelsea are now the first club from the English Premier League to be beaten in the Champions League this season!
The problems started just 39 seconds into the first half of the game with Edin Dzeko flicking a long ball from Aleksandar Kolarov’s to the feet of Stephan El Shaarawy who smashed it home from 25 yards. Chelsea's nightmare continued as Alvaro Morata missed a great chance at close range to equalize and then El Shaarawy made it 2-0 in the 36th minute with another goal setup by a long ball, which the Chelsea defense failed to deal with. Perotti sealed the scoreline at 3-0 with a 20 yard goal as the Chelsea defenders could not close him down after a fast run.
Despite the 0-3 scoreline Chelsea had plenty of chances to score and even had more shots than Roma and a similar amount of possession, they just could not get a goal with any of their 6 shots on target and ultimately were let down by their abysmal defending.

Manchester United Vs Benfica
Two goals for Manchester United saw them finish 2-0 in a close game which could of easily went either way, but luckily for the Red Devils it was their night as Benfica couldn't find the back of the net thanks to some superb saves from David De Gea. Man Utd's first goal was through an unlucky mistake by the Benfica Goalkeeper Mile Svilar in the 45th minute which could of been easily avoided.
The first Man United goal saw Nemanja Matic’s powerful strike hit the woodwork but bounce back across goal and deflect of the Benfica goalkeeper who had dived to save the goal. The second goal came from a late penalty kick which was converted into a goal by full-back Daley Blind in the 78th minute.
