Queen Elizabeth was remembered fondly before the latest round of Champions League fixtures on Wednesday night (September 14).

In Glasgow, Rangers fans created a mosaic of the British flag and Queen Elizabeth during the minute's silence, before the crowd launched into a rousing rendition of 'God Save the King'.
 

The Scottish side went on to lose against Napoli 3-0 at Ibrox, as the Italian club maintained their position on top of Group A.

At Stamford Bridge in London, an impeccable minute's silence was observed before Chelsea's match against RB Salzburg.

New coach Graham Potter's first game in charge ended in a 1-1 draw, after Raheem Sterling's opener was cancelled out by Noah Okafor's 75th minute equaliser.

The Etihad Stadium in Manchester also observed a minute's silence before kick-off, with fans holding up various flags remembering the Queen.

Pep Guardiola's side again relied on the brilliance of prolific striker Erling Haaland, as the Norwegian acrobatically scored an 84th minute winner to beat Borussia Dortmund 2-1.
