Holders Real Madrid suffered a shock 1-0 loss to Lille in the Champions League (CL) on Wednesday, while Aston Villa defeated Bayern Munich 1-0 in a repeat of the 1982 European Cup final.

Liverpool continued their flying start under new boss Arne Slot with a 2-0 victory at home to Bologna to secure a second successive win over Italian opposition this season.

Kylian Mbappe made his return from injury for Madrid in France as a substitute but he was upstaged by Jonathan David, whose penalty condemned Carlo Ancelotti’s side to a first loss in all competitions since January — a run spanning 36 matches.

“It hasn’t been a very good night for us, we shouldn’t look for excuses,” said Ancelotti.
“We could have equalised at the end but it wouldn’t have been deserved.”

Canada international David, scorer of a hat-trick in Ligue 1 at the weekend, buried his spot-kick at the end of the first half after Eduardo Camavinga used his arm to block a strike from Edon Zhegrova.
Lille goalkeeper Lucas Chevalier produced a string of late saves as the French club clung on for a famous win over the record 15-time European champions.
