Basel Shocker for Mourinho’s Chelsea

Jose Mourinho's first Champions League tie since returning to Chelsea ended in disappointment as Swiss champions Basel earned a shock 2-1 away win at Stamford Bridge.

Same night, Lionel Messi edged closer to Raul’s all-time Champions League scoring record with a hat-trick as a rampant Barcelona put four past Ajax without any reply from the Dutch team. The petit Argentine, who was at his ruthless best in attack, moves up to 62 goals in the competition, nine short of Real Madrid legend Raul. Pique scored in the 75th minute to make it four-nil for Barcelona.

At Stamford Bridge, Oscar put Mourinho's side ahead with an angled first-time shot into the bottom corner at the end of the first half.Basel's Mohamed Salah levelled when he fired across Blues keeper Petr Cech.And the home crowd was left stunned as away skipper Marco Streller won the Group E opener for the visitors with a late near-post header.

Elsewhere, Aaron Ramsey continued his fine form to help earn Arsenal a 10th successive 2-1 away win as they strode past Marseille in the Champions League.
Ramsey's goal six minutes from time settled the contest when he collected Kieran Gibbs' ball to fire in his sixth of the season from 16 yards.Theo Walcott's volley midway through the second half gained control of the game after some early scares.

A stoppage-time penalty by Marseille's Jordan Ayew made little difference.
Ramsey brought down Andre Ayew for the spot-kick, with the Marseille forward appearing to make the most of any contact.But it did little to spoil another fine result for the Gunners, who picked up their sixth successive win since losing on the opening day of the Premier League to Aston Villa.

AC Milan scored twice in three second-half minutes to undo a spirited Celtic performance in their Group H Champions League opener in Italy.
A Charlie Mulgrew direct free-kick inside the Milan penalty area in the 18th minute was deflected out.

Celtic's Emilio Izaguirre guided Cristian Zapata's 82nd-minute strike into the back of his own net. Moments later, Fraser Forster palmed Mario Balotelli's free-kick, but Sulley Muntari poked home on the rebound.
