Napoli beat Liverpool 2-nil at home while Ajax scored three times against Lille who could not find the back of the net.

RB Leipzig got the better of Benfica with 2 away goals to 1.

Chelsea went down 0-1 to Valencia with Christian Pulisic on the bench and Ross Barkley hitting the bar from the penalty spot.
