Man City, Barca and Paris impress on opening night

Defending champions Manchester City had to come from behind as they started their title defence with a 3-1 home win against Crvena Zvezda – we hear from the scorer of their third goal Rodri. Barcelona, Paris and Feyenoord enjoyed comfortable home victories - we hear from Barca’s new striker Joao Felix who starred by scoring a double on his Champions League debut for the club. Elsewhere there were away wins for Leipzig and Porto, and we get the thoughts of Newcastle boss Eddie Howe, whose team earned a hard fought point in Milan. However, the moment of the night came in Rome, with Lazio goalkeeper Ivan Provedel scoring an extraordinary late header to earn his side a dramatic point against Atletico.
