Matchday 4: Milan 0-2 Ferencváros

Coach Balázs Borbély was so impressed by Ferencváros' dominant first-half performance at San Siro that he struggled to find anything critical to say of his side at half-time. "The only thing I could ask the players was to keep going," he said.

They did that and more; Lenny Joseph struck twice and the Hungarian side then held on following Bamidele Yusuf's 77th-minute dismissal to earn their fourth win of the campaign. "We knew everything about Milan," concluded a proud Borbély after the final whistle. "Ruben Amorim likes to change his team's formation quite often, but we prepared well for that. The main factor behind our victory was our motivation."

Matchday 3: Celtic 1-2 Celta

Celta were quickly set back in the second half in Glasgow, Mika Baur curling in a fine Celtic finish inside two minutes, but the visitors took three points back to Vigo after an impressive rally. Centre-back Javi Rodríguez was the unlikely hero, the 23-year-old stooping to head a 68th-minute equaliser from Hugo Álvarez's wicked free-kick before powering in from outside the box three minutes later. "Honestly, I can't quite believe I have scored two goals," he beamed at full-time.

As for coach Claudio Giráldez, the victory marked the commitment of his Celta squad both on the night and across the season. "Football sometimes rewards you with nights like this," he said. "We were able to turn around a game that had become difficult."

Matchday 2: Salzburg 0-4 Milan

After a Matchday 1 defeat at home to Benfica, Milan bounced back in style with a big win in Salzburg. There was no doubt over who their star of the show was, with 19-year-old Alphadijo Cisse netting a superb perfect hat-trick with a header followed by left-footed and right-footed finishes within 49 minutes before Gonçalo Ramos wrapped things up with a fourth.

"He deserves the opportunities he is getting for what he has done," purred his coach Ruben Amorim after the game, with Cisse having only made his debut for the club as recently as August. "He knows how to be explosive. He has a lot of heart. He has a lot of potential and things to improve."

Matchday 1: Omonia 1-0 Celta

Henning Berg's side expected a fierce test as they welcomed Spanish opponents on Matchday 1, but they showed the right combination of adventurousness and resilience to snatch victory – Jure Balkovec's stunning finish from distance beating visiting keeper Ionuț Radu at his near post in the 88th minute.

Celta had 20 shots on goal to Omonia's ten, and 56% of possession, but the better chances went the Cypriot side's way, Radu making acrobatic blocks to deny Ewandro and Jean-Kevin Duverne in the first half. "We beat a La Liga side," said match winner Balkovec, before bashfully playing down his superb strike: "It's a team sport."
