Champions League Round-Up: Cristiano Ronaldo headed Manchester United to a 1-0 win against his former club Sporting in their opening Champions League Group F match tonight.

Closely marked in the first half, the Portuguese international winger managed to outsmart his former team mates in the 62nd minute to score with a diving header off a Wes Brown cross from the right.
   
Sporting narrowly missed an equaliser in the 78th minute when defender Tonel headed wide after Miguel Veloso's shot from outside the area was parried by Manchester keeper Edwin Van der Sar.

In London Arsenal gave Sevilla a lesson in what the Champions League is all about when they beat the UEFA Cup holders 3-0 in their opening Group H match.
   
Arsenal dominated almost from the first kick and sealed it with goals from Cesc Fabregas after 27 minutes and Robin van Persie in the 59th before substitute Eduardo da Silva slid home the third in stoppage time just minutes after coming on.
   
It was Sevilla's first match at this level since they played in the old European Cup some 50 years ago and despite playing their usual high tempo game, they rarely troubled the home side.
   
Fabregas's long-range strike appeared to be going wide until it took an emphatic deflection off Julien Escude and went in, while Van Persie scored from close range after Bacary Sagna flicked on a Fabregas free kick.

Argentina winger Lionel Messi led Barcelona to a 3-0 home win over French champions Olympique Lyon in their Group E opener.
   
The 2006 winners have only managed to score once from open play in their first three Primera Liga games this season and needed a slice of luck to take the lead against Lyon.
   
Messi crossed low into the area after 21 minutes and Lyon defender Francois Clerc diverted the ball into his own net.
   
Frank Rijkaard's side struggled to add to the score until Messi scored a second in the 82nd. Thierry Henry scored his first goal for Barca at the very end.

Goals from Simone Perrotta and Francesco Totti handed Serie A leaders AS Roma a confident start to their Champions League campaign with a 2-0 win over Group F rivals Dynamo Kiev.
   
Italy midfielder Perrotta sneaked in behind the Dynamo defence to head in a Max Tonetto cross and put the home side in front in the ninth minute.
   
Totti broke free from some tight marking 25 minutes into the second half to double the advantage with a diagonal right-footed shot.
   
Roma's 100th victory in European competition maintains their 100 per cent record.
