PARIS Saint-Germain scored seven and both Barcelona and PSV Eindhoven hit six in big victories while Arsenal crushed Atletico Madrid 4-0 on a prolific night of Champions League action on Tuesday.
Erling Haaland was among the scorers in Manchester City's 2-0 win at Villarreal as a total of 43 goals rained down across nine games.
However, it was champions PSG who stole the show with their 7-2 win at Bayer Leverkusen in Germany.
Desire Doue scored twice in between goals by Willian Pacho and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia for PSG in a first half which saw Alejandro Grimaldo miss a penalty and Aleix Garcia net from the spot for Leverkusen.
Both sides had a man sent off in the opening period, with Robert Andrich seeing red for Leverkusen and Ilia Zabarnyi walking for the visitors.
Nuno Mendes got the French side's fifth goal shortly after the break and Garcia pulled it back to 5-2.
Ousmane Dembele, on his return from injury and first appearance since winning the Ballon d'Or, got PSG's sixth and Vitinha completed the scoring at the death.
