On the same night Marseille produced a 2-1 comeback victory at home to Olympiacos, joining them on three points; however, with the Greek side having the head-to-head advantage, OM need to better their result on Matchday 6, when Olympiacos play host to Porto, to finish third. • City eased to three points at the Stade Vélodrome on Matchday 2, Ferran Torres opening the scoring in the 18th minute before goals in the closing stages from İlkay Gündoğan (76) and Raheem Sterling (81) made sure of the victory.
