WINNERS
ROBBIE RUSSELL, the 25-year-old Massachusetts product and former Duke star, made his European Champions League debut when he came on for Norway's Rosenborg in the 23rd minute of a 2-1 loss Greece's Panathinaikos.
BAYER LEVERKUSEN. The German club, fielding four of the 65 Brazilians involved in Champions League play, outplayed Real Madrid in a 3-0 win at the BayArena.
HENRIK LARSSON, the Swede who scored 242 goals in a seven-season stint with Celtic, scored Barcelona's final goal in a 3-1 win that marked Celtic's first home loss in 19 Champions League games.
LOSERS
TIM HOWARD's starting job in the Manchester United goal is in serious jeopardy. He bobbled Juninho Pernambucano's low free kick, allowing Cris to bury the rebound in a 2-2 tie with Lyon. That came days after he dropped a high ball that led to a goal in 2-2 tie with Bolton in English Premier League play. These blunders served as reminders of Manchester United's exit in last year's Champions League, when Porto knocked the Red Devils out after Howard failed to handle a free kick.
ROMA. The Italian club's home match against Dynamo Kiev was abandoned after 45 minutes when referee Anders Frisk suffered a bloody gash on the head after being hit by an object thrown by a Roma fan. Frisk, unable to continue, ruled that the remaining officials' safety could not be guaranteed. A UEFA disciplinary hearing on Tuesday will determine whether Roma will be ejected from the competition, which could cost the club, whose shares already dropped 9 percent after the incident, $20 million.
PSV EINDHOVEN. The Dutch club fell, 1-0, on a Alex own goal to Arsenal. American DaMarcus Beasley started and played 59 minutes for PSV.
