GOODBYE!
And so ends another action-packed round of Champions League action!
Just two more matchweeks to go, the league table is starting to take shape, and all six English sides are in strong positions.
Arsenal are sitting pretty with their 100% record and are guaranteed a spot in the top eight, while Man City are well-placed to join them.
Wins for Liverpool and Tottenham have kept them in the hunt, while Newcastle earned a valuable point on the road to stay in contention too.
Chelsea are the biggest loser of the round out of the English side, as their loss to Atalanta has seen them slip behind, but still in contention too.
The stage is set for a huge two weeks in January. Until then!

TNT SPORTS' PUNDITS DISCUSS XABI ALONSO'S FUTURE
Julien Laurens on Alonso: "I think there's a big chance [it will cost Alonso his job]. They go to Alaves on the weekend, which should be a straightforward game, but you don't know.
"Even in the Champions League, they go to Monaco and play Benfica, Jose Mourinho's Benfica, on the last day. They will finish top 24, there is no doubt. But they were five points clear of Barcelona three weeks ago, they're four points behind now.
"It's just not going well. And tonight, it's not going well for him either. He's going to be under more pressure, more scrutiny, and I wouldn't be surprised if he's not there by the weekend."
Owen Hargreaves: "You can't get rid of him. It would be ridiculous. Not a manager that's had brilliant success at Leverkusen. They almost went the whole season unbeaten. They lost in the final against Atalanta.
Obviously, this is a different thing, coming into a football club with the player power that they have and the success that they've had. He's come in and tried to probably coach them a little bit more and get them in certain positions.
"But these boys, with Zidane and Ancelotti, they had so much success with having a bit of freedom. I think, maybe, if he just loosens the strings a little bit...like with Rodrygo, I thought he was great today. He's barely played all season. So if he trusts those boys to get them out of this trouble, you think they will."

OWEN HARGREAVES: NICO O'REILLY IS A SPECIAL PLAYER
"He's a really good player, special player, and he's not even a left-back! You know he's a number ten, and physically, I think he's got everything. I think he's got size and he's got skill. He just destroyed Real Madrid down this left-hand side. His running power...look. He's really got it, Nico. He's developing. He looks like he doesn't feel any pressure."
22:44
JUDE BELLINGHAM: WE TAKE IT ON THE CHIN AND KEEP FIGHTING
"We're still trying to work it out within the changing room, regardless of what goes on outside. We know that's not helpful. One thing is how we manage games. Certain points where we have to suffer, it feels like we always concede, and it puts us on the back foot and makes us have to play a way we don't want to.
"But in the changing room we have what we need to turn it around, we need maybe a bit of luck or maybe something we need to discuss internally. I have faith this season isn't over just because we're in a bad run of form."
Players behind the manager? "100%. The manager has been great. I personally have a great relationship with him and I know a lot of the boys do too. After that run of draws we had some great conversations internally and felt we'd put that form behind us but the last couple of games. No one is downing tools, no one complaining or moaning. We take it on the chin and keep fighting."
On scrutiny on him personally: "Its just life. This is what I've signed up for. I play for the biggest club in the world and one of the most in the world. I don't want pity, I'm living the dream. I role with the punches and the most important thing is that to me."

ERLING HAALAND: THIS WIN IS REALLY IMPORTANT
"Difficult to come here, it's a tough place. The game was a bit chaotic, we couldn't really control it. We get the win in the end, super happy.
"This is a place you want to play, these are games you want to play. With this new format in Champions League, you get to play more games which is nice. I like it.
"It could have looked completely different today if we didn't win because of the Leverkusen defeat, this win is really important. Two more games left. We need to finish strong and hopefully we can be in the first eight because then we're through."
Boost seeing Kylian Mbappe not in team? "We know about their injuries, we have some too but they have many. You don't want anyone to be injured but we expected him to play. I expected to come up against Kylian today.
"But when a player like that is out - you're not happy because you want to play the best - but it gives you a bit of a psychological boost.
"You want to play the best players and after one minute [Raul] Asencio was trying to push me and beef with me which I like personally - I don't mind it. With Antonio Rüdiger as well we have had some great battles, but today he wanted it too much, and we got the penalty."
Chase down Arsenal in Premier League? "I don't like to speak too much about this because we should focus on ourselves and City have been so good at that for 10 years, don't think about others and focus on ourselves. Now we need to focus on Sunday - who is it? Palace on Sunday - games are coming fast. Look at the schedule, it's incredible, and it's about staying fit and taking it game by game and hopefully winning on Sunday."

MIKEL ARTETA REFLECTS ON ARSENAL'S VICTORY
On tonight's result: "We know how difficult it is to play the Champions League and to win away from home, especially when we have that many players out, it makes the task bigger. I talked to the boys, and it was about showing how much we wanted the resilience and how we prepared for it.
On the squad depth: "For example, Norgaard, which is a player that probably prepares the best out of all of them, and is someone who makes all of us better every single day. He wants to play in any position, his attitude is always immaculate.
"I think both of them, Madueke and Martinelli, were outstanding today. The level of threat and finishing was spectacular.
On Gabriel Jesus: "Then, of course, Gabriel Jesus is back after 11 months and this difficult journey that he's been through with all of us. To see him perform in the manner he did, really positive."
"You get an injury, and the surgery and everybody is fully behind you. But there's a moment that you are alone, and you have to go through a lot of pain and difficult moments and uncertainty. He's done that a few times in his career, and he's showed his mental toughness, how much he loves to play football, and we are delighted to have him back.
On issues in defence: "Right now it's about managing the situation in the back line, because some players are there but they cannot play more than 30 minutes. It's been tough, but with the attitude the players have, I know that if I ask anybody to play there, they will do it."

NONI MADUEKE: WE ARE FIGHTING ON ALL FOUR FRONTS
"The first one was really nice, the second one, a tap-in, but that first one was sweet. We are delighted with the result today, really good.
"I think the bare minimum I need to give to my team is threat. They need to give me the ball and think something will happen. And obviously trying to score and be as decisive as possible. That's the level I need to get to in terms of being consistently decisive for my club and country.
On the squad: "We're tight, I feel like that's the main thing. We want each other to do well, we know there are loads of minutes for all of us. We know we have top players everywhere in the squad, it's about all of us as a collective, not the individual.
On the role of the each player: "We know we have a part to play. That's the good thing about this team. Last Champions League game I scored, nice to get another two today and hopefully bring that form to the Premier League.
On the hopes for the season: "I feel like we're fighting on all four fronts, I feel like we can compete -on all four fronts. I feel like we can win this competition. I feel like we can win the league as well, and that has to be our aim. We're in a good place at the moment, we just keep going."
