Paris St Germain made light of the absent Zlatan Ibrahimovic to claim a 3-2 Champions League victory over Barcelona last night.

Barca had not conceded a goal this season but David Luiz, Marco Verrati and Blaise Matuidi all punctured their defence to give the French champions three points.

Luiz put the home side ahead in the 10th minute only for Lionel Messi to equalise two minutes later at the end of a sharp move before Verrati’s 26th-minute header put PSG in front again.

Matuidi caught the Barca defence snoozing again early in the second half and although Neymar pulled one back with a fine goal almost immediately PSG held firm.

PSG lead Group F with four points, with Barca on three and Ajax Amsterdam third two points after drawing 1-1 with APOEL.

Francesco Totti became the oldest scorer in European club competition history when he netted after 24 minutes to give Roma a 1-1 draw at Manchester City in their Champions League Group E match at the Etihad Stadium.

Totti, who turned 38 on Saturday, chipped the ball over goalkeeper Joe Hart for his landmark goal which resulted in City failing to win their first home match in the competition for the fourth successive season.

Totti, who is in his 23rd season with his only professional club, beat the record previously held by Ryan Giggs who scored when he was 37 years 289 days old for Manchester United against Benfica in September 2011.

City went ahead in the fourth minute when their former defender Maicon put his arm around Sergio Aguero and pulled the Argentine down leaving referee Bjorn Kuipers no alternative but to award the penalty which Aguero swept home sending Roma’s stand-in keeper Lukasz Skorupski the wrong way.

But City failed to build on that early advantage and although they played better in the second half when James Milner and Frank Lampard came on as substitutes, impressive Roma were worth their point.

In the other Group A match, Thomas Mueller’s first-half penalty gave Bayern Munich a 1-0 triumph at CSKA Moscow, their second victory in two games in the behind-closed-doors fixture.

The Group E match was played in front of an empty house at the Khimki Arena after a ban from European soccer’s governing body UEFA was imposed for the racist behaviour of CSKA’s fans.

The lack of atmosphere made life more comfortable for the visiting five-times champions, who largely controlled the game against injury-hit CSKA, could have scored several goals but had to settle for victory from Muller’s 21st minute spot-kick.

Nemanja Matic’s header gave Chelsea a 1-0 win at Sporting Lisbon in the Champions League and inflicted a home defeat on the Portuguese side for the first time in four years of European competition.

Matic winner

In a match where both teams showed relentless attacking intent, the Serbian’s goal gave Jose Mourinho’s team victory against their Group G rivals who had been unbeaten in their previous 16 matches in Europe at the Alvalade Stadium.

Booed by the home fans throughout, Matic, who used to play for Sporting’s bitter rivals Benfica, nodded in Cesc Fabregas’s inswinging free kick at the back post after 34 minutes.

The victory took Chelsea to the top of the table on four points, with fellow Group G rivals Schalke 04 being held to a surprise 1-1 draw at home to Maribor.
