The visitors went two up thanks to Gareth Bale and Cristiano Ronaldo.Real's prolific No. 7 just loves scoring in Germany, per Squawka Football:Yet as much as Ronaldo loves scoring against German opposition, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang enjoys finding the net against Los Merengues. The Gabon striker got Dortmund back in it nine minutes into the second half to continue his fantastic run against Real:Not to be outdone, Ronaldo got his second to help ice a terrific feast of attacking football on 79 minutes. Completing his brace added one more goal to the gaudy numbers Ronaldo has produced since joining Real in 2009:In Group E, Liverpool's shaky defence lasted just 23 minutes before conceding in the Russian capital. A thunderous free-kick from Fernando caught Loris Karius out and got Spartak on the board.Fortunately for Liverpool, they can still rely on the inspiration of Philippe Coutinho. The classy No. 10 equalised from inside the penalty area eight minutes later.The goal helped Coutinho maintain his status as Liverpool's attacking talisman, per BT Sport Football:Liverpool also drew their Group E opener, a 2-2 stalemate against Sevilla at Anfield last time out, and the Spanish side were in fine form at home to Maribor. Wissam Ben Yedder opened the scoring with a brace in 11 first-half minutes.The former Toulouse forward joined the ranks of Sevilla's most prolific goalscorers in this competition, per OptaJose:Ben Yedder completed his hat-trick from the penalty spot with eight minutes remaining and made history for Sevilla:Group F saw Liverpool's Premier League rivals Machester City make slightly hard work of beating Shakhtar.

It means the free-scoring Citizens have taken maximum points from their first two games.One reason for City's fast start has been the quality of David Silva. The cerebral playmaker created City's first goal, continuing his recent run of steady supply, per WhoScored.com:The group's other game saw Napoli brush off Feyenoord in Naples thanks to goals from fluid front three Lorenzo Insigne, Dries Mertens and Jose Callejon. Napoli lost to Shakhtar last time out but still look like being City's main competition.Group G saw a shock as Porto won 3-0 in Monaco. Two goals from Vincent Aboubakar sent Porto on their way before Miguel Layun added a third.This result willbe a shock for last season's beaten semi-finalists and Ligue 1 champions.The cost of another defeat is double for Monaco after Besiktas won again. Anderson Talisca and a resurgent Ryan Babel scored in Turkey to overcome RB Leipzig and maintain Besiktas' formidable home form in European competition, per the tournament's official Twitter account:Of course, no team can boast a run of form in the Champions League to match Real. The winners of three of the last four tournaments looked ominously good in Dortmund, while Spurs showed they are better equipped for this level than last season.It's a different story for Liverpool, though, as manager Jurgen Klopp's team is left still searching for the winning formula.
