Barcelona 1-0 Borussia Monchengladbach

Manchester City 1-1 Celtic
Loanee Patrick Roberts probably enjoyed scoring against his parent club, as Celtic took an early lead, but Kelechi Iheanacho didn’t take long to level things at the Etihad Stadium.
City is fielding an interesting back six, with Pablo Zabaleta as one of its holding mids and Bacary Sagna slid inside to pair with youngster Tosin Adarabioyo.
Celtic's lead was short-lived thanks to Man City's @67Kelechi. #UCLonFOX https://t.co/Z47eJT4hcA
