Monaco’s poor start to their Champions League campaign continued when they were held to a 0-0 draw at home by Tottenham Hotspur on Wednesday night in new coach Sebastien Pocognoli’s first game in charge in the competition.

The Ligue 1 side, who have two points from three games, had the clearest chances but Tottenham keeper Guglielmo Vicario proved decisive between the posts.

Tottenham, who conceded more than 20 shots in a one-sided encounter, are 15th in the 36-team table on five points while Monaco sit in 27th place, in the elimination zone.

Meanwhile Jude Bellingham scored his first goal since June as Real Madrid saw off a spirited performance by Juventus to maintain their 100% record in this season's Champions League on Wednesday at the Santiago Bernabeu.

The goal was created by Vinicius Jr, who in the 58th minute took on three Juventus players and made space to shoot. His attempt rebounded off the post for Bellingham to slot home his first goal of the season since returning from shoulder surgery.

Elsewhere Bayern Munich outclassed visitors Club Brugge 4-0 with three goals in the first 34 minutes to maintain their flawless start to the season and make it three wins from three matches in the competition.

The German champions have now won all 12 matches across all competitions this season while also staking an early claim for a Champions League knockout stage spot with a maximum nine points.

First half goals from 17-year-old Lennart Karl, who became the youngest German scorer in the competition, Harry Kane, who took his tally to 20 goals from 12 matches for Bayern this season, and Luis Diaz in the 34th minute sealed the game, before substitute Nicolas Jackson added another in the 79th.

In the other late kick-offs, Sporting Lisbon edged Marseille 2-1 while Atalanta and Slavia Prague played out a 0-0 draw.

Then earlier in the day Athletic Club defeated Qarabag 3-1 while Galatasaray beat Bodo Glimt by the same scoreline to record back-to-back victories thanks to two goals from striker Victor Osimhen.
