David Luiz returned to Europe at age 38, after four years in his native Brazil, to help Cyprus champions Pafos to a 2-2 draw with Monaco in their debut UEFA Champions League season. The former Brazil star scored his first goal in the competition since October 2017 with a powerful header into the Monaco net at a corner. His previous Champions League goal came in his second spell at Chelsea where he was key in the 2012 Champions League title-winning team. Luiz became the second-oldest scorer in the Champions League, behind only another veteran defender Pepe. Monaco held a 2-1 lead from the 26th, when United States forward Folarin Balogun intercepted a pass by goalkeeper Neofytos Michaeland to score with a low shot. Pafos levelled in the 88th when the ball struck Monaco defender Mohammed Salisu after rebounding from the crossbar for an own goal.
Arne Slot was facing a full-blown crisis at Liverpool on Thursday (November 27, 2025) after the beleaguered English Premier League champions lost by a three-goal margin for the third straight game and plunged into their worst run of form in more than 70 years. PSV Eindhoven pulled away for a 4-1 win at Anfield in the UEFA Champions League to leave Liverpool with nine defeats in their last 12 games, a scarcely believable streak for a team that cruised to the Premier League title a matter of months ago and then spent 570 million US dollars on new players in the summer transfer window. Couhaib Driouech netted a brace, including a stoppage-time goal to seal the win for PSV.
Seventeen years after ten armed Lashkar-e-Taiba terrorists stormed Mumbai on November 26, 2008, the city still lives with the memory of those 60 hours of terror. The coordinated attacks across the Taj Mahal Palace Hotel, Oberoi Trident, CST, Nariman House, and Leopold Café killed 166 people and injured hundreds, exposing vulnerabilities while also revealing acts of courage by security forces, hotel staff, and ordinary citizens. As India marks another anniversary of 26/11, the images from that night continue to stand as stark reminders of resilience forged in tragedy.
A fire that erupted on Wednesday at the Wang Fuk Court residential estate in Tai Po, Hong Kong’s New Territories, has killed at least 44 people, as flames and dense smoke consumed multiple high‑rise blocks. First responders worked across the estate to extinguish the blaze, as residents waited at the scene, with some cheering the firefighting crews. Volunteers coordinated donations of water and snacks at the Church of Christ in China Fung Leung Kit Memorial Secondary School, which served as a temporary evacuation centre for residents displaced by the fire.
Arsenal defeated Bayern Munich 3-1 in a headline UEFA Champions League 2025-26 Matchday 5 fixture at the Emirates on Wednesday, handing the German giants their first defeat of the season and reinforcing the Gunners' position at the top of the league phase table. The hosts struck first when Jurrien Timber nodded in a corner from Bukayo Saka in the 22nd minute. Bayern levelled just 10 minutes later as 17-year-old Lennart Karl volleyed home a fine cross from Serge Gnabry. However, the home side took control after half-time. Noni Madueke restored the lead in the 69th minute, and Gabriel Martinelli sealed the result in the 77th after a rash decision by Manuel Neuer.
Real Madrid came from behind to defeat Olympiacos 4-3 at Georgios Karaiskakis Stadium in a UEFA Champions League 2025-26 Matchday 5 fixture on Wednesday, courtesy of a sensational four-goal haul from Kylian Mbappe. After falling behind to an eighth-minute strike by Chiquinho, Madrid roared back inside 22 minutes as Mbappe equalised, then added a header in the 24th and completed a rapid hat-trick by the 29th. A fourth goal came after the break, but Olympiacos kept the tie alive. Mehdi Taremi halved the deficit in the 52nd minute, and Ayoub El Kaabi pulled one back in the 81st. However, Los Blancos held firm to seal a nervy but thrilling win in Piraeus.
