Football: Liverpool battle to Champions League win and Messi fires PSG
PARIS, France -- Liverpool survived an Atletico Madrid fightback to win 3-2 and Lionel Messi scored twice as Paris Saint-Germain came from behind to beat RB Leipzig by the same score on a breathless night of Champions League action on Tuesday.
Naby Keita doubled Liverpool's lead with a stunning volley but Atletico hit back with French international Antoine Griezmann scoring twice to fire up the home crowd. In a dramatic finish, Atletico were denied a penalty when the referee studied the VAR and decided Jota had not fouled Jose Maria Gimenez.
Leipzig went ahead through goals from Andre Silva and Nordi Mukiele as PSG suddenly looked disjointed. Pep Guardiola declared City's win "one of the best performances in Europe we've done so far" after Riyad Mahrez scored twice and 19-year-old Cole Palmer was among City's scorers. Sheriff Tiraspol's fairytale run of results in the competition ended with a 3-1 defeat at Inter Milan.
