High-scoring match day in the Champions League.

In a spectacular match, FC Barcelona and Inter Milan drew 3:3 (1:0).

The Catalans have just four points after four games and are behind leaders Bayern Munich (12) and Milan (7) in Group C.

The round of sixteen can no longer be reached on their own.

Meanwhile, the troubled Liverpool FC has shot some frustration from the soul.

After falling behind early on, Jürgen Klopp's team turned up the heat and won 7-1 (1-1) at Glasgow Rangers.

Mohamed Salah shone with the fastest hat-trick in Champions League history.

Star striker Robert Lewandowski initially saved FC Barcelona from the first major disappointment of the season.

The 34-year-old scored late against Inter Milan to make it 3-3 (1-0) - in a home defeat, the Catalans would have been eliminated from Group C early.

Former Dortmund player Ousmane Dembelé (40') had put Barcelona ahead but Inter turned the game around in the second half after goals from Nicolo Barrella (50') and Lautaro Martinez (63').

Lewandowski's equalizer to make it 2-2 (82') only lasted briefly because Robin Gosens (87') scored.

However, Lewandowski headed the score (90+2), goalkeeper Marc-André ter Stegen saved the important point with a world-class save.

Jürgen Klopp is about to reach the last 16 of the Champions League with Liverpool.

The English won 7-1 (1-1) at Glasgow Rangers.

Roberto Firmino (24th minute, 55th) scored twice for the Reds after Scott Arfield (17th) gave the Scottish record champions the lead.

Darwin Núñez (66') increased before substitute Mohamed Salah (75', 80', 81') made it all clear with a hat-trick.

It was the fastest hat-trick in Champions League history.

Harvey Elliott (87th) scored the final score.

Behind SSC Napoli (12 points), who have already qualified for the round of 16, Liverpool (9) have the best chance of progressing in Group A with two games left.

Rangers (0) are only fighting for third place, Ajax Amsterdam (3) still have a small theoretical chance of second place.

Olympique Marseille defeated Sporting 2-0 (2-0) to move up into second place in Group D with six points, behind Tottenham (7) but ahead of Sporting (6) and Frankfurt (4).

Matteo Guendouzi scored the goal with a penalty kick (20') and Alexis Sánchez (30').

The Portuguese played almost the whole game outnumbered.

Ricardo Esgaio was sent off in the 19th minute with a yellow card, and Pedro Goncalves got it in the second half (61st).
