          That's another matchweek done and dusted in Europe's Top 5. This one saw upheaval at the top of the table as three teams from the Premier League Big 6 lost in the same matchweek, with Manchester City's losing consecutive matches for the first time in over a year.

          Over in La Liga, Barcelona continued in their merry, goal-scoring ways while the floods in Spain meant some matches were rescheduled. In Bundesliga, Bayern Munich were among the goals while title holders Bayer Leverkusen struggled. Juventus were back to winning ways in Serie A while Atalanta beat league leaders Napoli to cut their lead.
