Manchester United qualified by virtue of winning the FA Cup and were keen to show that they deserved their spot in the Champions League against Swiss champions Basel.

Chelsea vs Qarabag FK 

The Azerbaijanis went into Stamford Bridge already breaking new ground as the first team from the Caspian Sea bordering nation to make the Champions League Group stage.

Barcelona v Juventus

Leo Messi went into the match having never beaten Juventus legend Gianluigi Buffon, would that record continue?

 

Paris St Germain vs Celtic

PSG got the first chance to show off their much-vaunted and incredibly expensive forward line against experienced Champions League competitors in Celtic.

Dubious penalty calls, very near misses.... the result could have been very different!
