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.

Barcelona were the 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.
