LONDON, Sept 27 (Reuters) - Barcelona, Juventus, Bayern Munich and Arsenal
all maintained perfect starts to their Champions League campaigns on Tuesday
while Manchester United kick-started theirs with a late winner over Benfica.

highest scorers on the opening night of Matchday Two with a 4-1 win over Udinese
at the Nou Camp to stay top of Group C with World Footballer of the Year
Ronaldinho scoring a hat-trick.
Udinese, who briefly troubled the Spanish champions when Felipe equalised
Ronaldinho's opening goal, were overwhelmed in the end and finished with 10 men
after Vidigal saw the red card four minutes into the second half.
Juventus were also convincing winners, thumping Rapid Vienna 3-0 in their
Group A match at the Stadio Delle Alpi with goals from David Trezeguet, Adrian
Mutu and Zlatan Ibrahimovic although there were only 11,156 fans there to see
them do it.
Bayern Munich continued the domination of the big guns in that group with a
1-0 win over Club Bruges in Munich where Martin Demichelis scored the only goal
after 32 minutes.
