Real Madrid and Tottenham Hotspur secured their places in the last 16 of the Champions League in the first set of games on Matchday 5. Madrid threw away a 2-0 lead to draw 2-2 with Paris Saint-Germain but its progress had been secured before kick off, thanks to Club Brugge’s 1-1 draw away to Galatasaray – a remarkable game in which the celebrations after Krepin Diatta’s last-minute leveler led to both him and Clinton Mata picking up second yellow cards – but Tottenham had a much more trying night, having to come from 2-0 down to beat Olympiacos.
