Real Madrid are among the favourites to take the crown, and are up and running, while Bayern Munich also took maximum points on Matchday One.Wolfsburg and AC Milan prevailed in tricky ties, while Juventus were held by Bordeaux and Atletico Madrid were unable to see off APOEL Nicosia.Manchester United were promised a tough test in Turkey by Besiktas, and that is precisely what they got.Paul Scholes' well-placed header saw them to a 1-0 success in their Group B opener, but Sir Alex Ferguson's men were far from their best on the road.Chelsea overcame horrendous weather conditions at Stamford Bridge to claim a narrow 1-0 win over Porto.The Blues were forced to bide their time before forcing a way through, but Nicolas Anelka's strike seconds after the restart handed Carlo Ancelotti's side three points.Fernando saw red late on for the Portuguese outfit to compound a wretched night.Bayern Munich have taken an early lead in Group A after they saw off Maccabi Haifa 3-0.The German giants were pushed all the way in Israel and were thankful to Daniel van Buyten and a Thomas Muller brace for bailing them out of trouble.Juventus thought they had done enough to see off Bordeaux, but were forced to settle for a 1-1 draw.The Italians forged ahead through Vincenzo Iaquinta, only to then see Jaroslav Plasil haul Laurent Blanc's side level.Wolfsburg made the perfect start to life at Europe's top table as they beat CSKA Moscow 3-1 in the other fixture in Group B.Grafite proved to be the star of the show as he bagged a hat-trick, coolly slotting home the opener, converting from the penalty spot after he had been pulled down in the box and firing home on the turn to kill off the RussiansAlan Dzagoev did hand CSKA a lifeline midway through the second half, but it proved to be nothing more than a consolation.Cristiano Ronaldo was on target once again for Real Madrid as they produced a Jekyll and Hyde performance against FC Zurich.The Portuguese winger opened the scoring with a trademark free-kick, before Raul and Gonzalo Higuain had Los Blancos in complete control before half-time.Xavier Margairaz gave the home support something to shout about when he fired home from the spot in the second half and a remarkable comeback was on the cards when Silvan Aegerter grabbed a second soon after.Ronaldo, though, profited from some sloppy goalkeeping in the final few seconds and Guti lofted home a delicate chip to put the seal on a 5-2 success.Elsewhere in Group C Marseille slipped to a 2-1 defeat against AC Milan at Stade Velodrome.Filippo Inzaghi had the Serie A outfit in front inside half and hour, before Gabriel Heinze levelled.It was to be Inzaghi, though, who had the last word as he bagged his second of the game against the run of play.Atletico Madrid and APOEL Nicosia make up the numbers in Group D, alongside Chelsea and Porto, and they could only produce a goalless draw on Tuesday.
