Arsenal’s Champions League defence begins in defeat.

Melchie Dumornay’s first-half brace earns all three points for the French side, who extend their unbeaten run in the group stage of the competition to 18 matches.

The first round of the 1970-71 #EuropeanCup pitted East German champions Carl Zeiss #Jena against Turkish league winners #Fenerbahce. The Germans claimed a 4-0 away win in the 1st leg in Istanbul to take control of the tie. They won 5-0 on aggregate. Here Vogel is denied by Turkish goalkeeper Datcu.

Marvin Gaye's 'What's Going On' (1971) is included in the Library of Congress's National Recording Registry, which celebrates culturally, historically & aesthetically significant recordings.
