Tuesday's UEFA Champions League Matchday 7 featured several compelling results as teams vied for positions in the league phase, with the top eight advancing directly to the last 16 and teams from ninth to 24th entering playoffs.
Arsenal secured their eighth straight win, defeating Inter 3-1 at San Siro. Gabriel Jesus scored twice in the first half from close range, marking his first Champions League goals since November 2023. Inter's Petar Sučić pulled one back with a fierce strike, but substitute Viktor Gyökeres curled in the winner six minutes from time, despite David Raya's double save on Federico Dimarco before halftime. Jesus was named Player of the Match.
Real Madrid bounced back from a recent loss to Manchester City with a 6-1 thrashing of Monaco. Kylian Mbappé netted twice in the first half against his former club, followed by goals from Franco Mastantuono, a Thilo Kehrer own goal, Vinícius Júnior's top-corner strike, and Jude Bellingham's finisher. Monaco's Jordan Teze scored a consolation. Vinícius Júnior earned Player of the Match honors.
Bodø/Glimt claimed their first league phase win, beating Manchester City 3-1. Kasper Høgh scored twice from Ole Didrik Blomberg corners midway through the first half, Jens Petter Hauge added a stunning top-corner goal after halftime, and Rayan Cherki replied for City, who lost captain Rodri to a red card. Hauge was Player of the Match.
Other notable outcomes included Sporting CP's 2-1 victory over Paris, powered by Luis Suárez's late double; Tottenham's 2-0 win against Borussia Dortmund with goals from Cristian Romero and Dominic Solanke; Olympiacos's 2-0 shutout of Leverkusen via Costinha and Mehdi Taremi; Ajax's dramatic 2-1 comeback at Villarreal; Club Brugge's 4-1 rout of Kairat Almaty; and a 1-1 draw between Copenhagen and Napoli, where Jordan Larsson equalized from a penalty rebound after Thomas Delaney's sending off.
