Matchday six of the new-look Champions League saw Barcelona and Real Madrid win 3-2 thrillers on the road, Manchester City lose again and Liverpool maintain their lead.
Here are the five most interesting statistics to emerge from the action.
Manchester City's defensive problems are now a serious concern and their next Champions League outing in January could see the problem continue - they face PSG at the Parc des Princes.
Mbappé's opening goal in Bergamo saw him carve out a place in the tournament record books.
Both men contributed to their tallies when they faced off in a thriller at the Westfalenstadion on Wednesday.
The unwanted distinction of becoming the first team to be mathematically eliminated from the new Champions League format fell to the German outfit, who lost all of their opening six fixtures.
Atlético de Madrid secured Julián Alvarez's signature during the summer because he could not be guaranteed regular Manchester City minutes due to Erling Haaland - the only man who can match him when it comes to goals-per-minute in this competition.
