Champions League: Mourinho snubs Real Madrid, PSG, names best team

Real Madrid manager Jose Mourinho stated that Arsenal is the best team in the Champions League following his team's 4-3 comeback victory against Roma on Wednesday night. Mourinho noted that while Madrid has secured six points from two fixtures after previously beating Inter Milan, he would not call them the best because Arsenal remains in the competition. Real Madrid's next matches include RB Leipzig, AEK Athens, and PSV, before they face Arsenal at the Emirates on December 9.

During the same match at the Stadio Olimpico, Kylian Mbappe became the youngest player to reach 100 Champions League appearances. According to The National UAE, the 27-year-old surpassed a record previously held by Lionel Messi, who reached the milestone at age 28 years and 84 days. Mbappe celebrated the milestone by scoring his 72nd goal in 100 appearances.

In other Champions League action, Shakhtar Donetsk defeated AEK Athens 3-1 at Stamford Bridge. After AEK Athens took an early lead through Lovro Majer, Shakhtar responded with a Pedrinho penalty, a Vinicius Tobias goal, and a strike from Gleiker Mendoza. The Ukrainian side, which is using Chelsea's stadium as its home base, now has four points after two games.
