Get the full FC Bayern Munich vs Chelsea recap here.

Luis Enrique can’t have wished for much more. A swashbuckling attacking display that included four goals and a well-deserved clean sheet.

After a league phase campaign fraught with jeopardy last time round, Paris start their quest for a second consecutive Champions League crown in the most consummate of ways.

As for Atalanta, they toiled and stuck to their task, but will now focus on picking up their first points against Club Brugge in two weeks time.

After something of a shaky start, Ajax managed to find their way back into the game. 

Ironically, they had the best chance of taking the lead – Yann Sommer saving expertly from Mika Godts – seconds before Marcus Thuram headed the visitors in front at the other end.

John Heitinga’s men will now have to commit more men forward in search of an equaliser, which could play into Inter’s hands.

Follow the Bayern Munich vs Chelsea match LIVE here.

Against Atletico Madrid, Andrew Robertson and Mohamed Salah have found the net for Liverpool within first 6 minutes of the match.

What a contest we have witnessed! Both teams gave everything, competing all the way. Slavia earned a two-goal advantage thanks to a pair of strikes from Youssoupha Mbodji on his full debut, but Bodø/Glimt displayed the character they so often showed during last season's run to the Europa League semi-finals thanks to substitutes Sondre Brunstad Fet and Daniel Bassi. A breathtaking evening, with both clubs showing why they play at this level.

A pair of penalties from Kylian Mbappé helped Real Madrid turn a deficit into victory in Xabi Alonso's first Champions League game at the helm. 

After withstanding early pressure from the hosts, Marseille struck first through Timothy Weah's emphatic finish, but Alonso's side were quickly level when Mbappé converted from the spot following a foul by Geoffrey Kondogbia on Rodrygo.

Although Madrid had Dani Carvajal sent off in the 72nd minute, Mbappé struck again with nine minutes left after Facundo Medina was penalised for handball.

Borussia Dortmund and Juventus shared the spoils after an eight-goal thriller in Turin that equalled the record for the highest-scoring Champions League draw.

Khéphren Thuram and Loïs Openda both went close for the hosts in the first half, before Karim Adeyemi’s 52nd-minute finish sparked the encounter into life.

Kenan Yıldız, Felix Nmecha and Dušan Vlahović all scored in a four-minute flurry before Yan Couto's powerful finish made it 3-2 to Dortmund.

The visitors looked to have sealed victory through Ramy Bensebaini's 85th-minute penalty, but Juventus rescued a draw in added time thanks to Dušan Vlahović's finish and a Lloyd Kelly header.

Qarabağ claim a historic win here in Lisbon – and few can argue with the result. Benfica were 2-0 up after 16 minutes, but after Leandro Andrade’s goal, the Azerbaijan champions grew in confidence and made the most of their momentum to level and ultimately win it in the closing stages. Welcome back, Champions League!

Substitutes Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard strike to give Arsenal a winning start in a tight contest in Bilbao, where Athletic Club performed admirably on their much-anticipated return to the competition. 

Arsenal have failed to score in Spain in the first half. 

Mikel Arteta's men looked good but not sharp enough. Meantime Athletic have done well to defend and attack on the chances they got. 

Important 45 minutes to come.

Anouar Ait El Hadj extends the lead for Union SG. The newcomers are on fire! 

Pepi fouled Burgess inside the box, and Union SG won the penalty. Promise David perfectly sent Matěj Ková the wrong way to hit the low corner of the goal.

Probably the final action of today. 

Bob found Savinho, whose attempt was blocked and deflected away for a corner by Bayindir.

4 minutes have been added. 

Haaland goes off to a standing ovation as he is replaced by Oscar Bob. 

Silva is replaced by Ake. 

Burno's attempted shot went through the defender,s and Casemiro, who was there at the near post, could not deflect it into the goal.

Amad did well on the right to dribble past defenders and enter the box. His pass for Mbeumo got defelcted away for a corner. 

This time from the centre, Mbeumo went for a left-footed curling attempt. However, it did not curl enough for a goal.

On the right, from the close range, Mbeumo tries his luck. But the angle was always tight.

It should have been 4-0!

Silva finds Haaland, who released it for Reijnders. However, Reijnders took it too deep before sending it pass the goal.

From the edge of the box, Ugarte takes his chance with a shot, but misses the target.

HE IS BACK! HE IS BACK! HE IS BACK!

Erling Haaland makes it 3-0 for City. 

Mishap from United at the halfway mark, and Silva served it on a plate for Haaland to go one-on-one and take it deep before sending it inside the goal.

City 3-0 United.

Good challenge from Dias to find Silva and his cross found Haaland doing his thing with the outside of the flying boot. 

However, it went straight to Bayindir.

Kobbie Mainoo and Harry Maguire are on for Noussair Mazraoui and Leny Yoro. Harry is making his 250th appearance for the Reds.

Donnarumma with a big save, diving to his right. 

Mbeumo with a big left-footed volley and it was going inside the goal. But the big man was there to make the save.

Haaland was running away with the ball again. 

Luke Shaw had to take the chance to tackle him from behind and win the ball back.

Haaland was just inches away from making it 3-0. 

Bayindir was able to make the half save but the ball evantually hit the post and Silva could not tap it inside the goal. 

Inevitable! 

Erling Haaland scores for Manchester City. 

Foden to Doku and Doku found Haaland making a run inside the box. Shaw could not stop Haaland and neither could Bayindir.

Manchester City 2-0 Manchester United. 

United have tried to link up the play from the left. But, the execution in the final third has lacked so far for them.

Drogu's cross from the left is blocked and deflected for a United corner by Dias.

No changes for either team. 

City head into the tunnel with a 1-0 lead, and a well-deserved lead, you have to say.

Foden's seventh derby goal is the separator at the moment.

1 minute has been added to first half.

Haaland toe-tapped the ball at the edge of the box for the youngster. 

After recieveing the ball on his left foot, he went for a right-footed shot. 

He missed the target though. 

Doku had lost the ball on the left but Rodri was able to win it back and then looked for Silva with a through pass. 

However, his pass was blocked. 

Foul by Khusanov and United have a free-kick from a good position. 

Sesko tries to lob a ball from inside the box, but the Italian had came out early to make the save. 

Good idea from United to break the off-side trap. 

But, Mbeumo was just an inch offside there. However, his shot was not on target as well. 

Doku with another move. This time from the left. 

His cutback had found Reijnders inside the box. However, his side-footed attempt went straight to Bayindir. 

It is raining at Etihad Stadium.

Phil Foden, for the seventh time in his career, scores a Manchester Derby goal for the City.

Doku kept on going deep, and his cutback from the byline found Foden at the right place to go for a strong header. 

City 1-0 United. 

Doku's flying ball from the left nearly made Amad score a Cristiano-ish side flying side volley. 

However, he could not connect that shot. 

Manchester City are devastated to learn Ricky Hatton has passed away, aged 46.

Ricky was one of City’s most loved and revered supporters, who will always be remembered for a glittering boxing career that saw him win world titles at welterweight and light-welterweight.

Haaland has looked hungry from the word go, and he nearly made the ball flick over Bayindir, who looked a bit nervous there. 

Benjamin Sesko, on his first Premier League start, takes aim from 25 yards and his left-footed effort brings a save from City's debutant goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma.

Within the first 25 seconds of the match, Haaland makes an attempt from the close range with his left foot. 

He misses the target. It was a close angle though.

A well-deserved win for Arsenal. Nottingham Forest did not do anything to score or beat them at home.

After the first goal by Zubimendi, it was all about how many Arsenal would get. 

Two goals from Zubimendi and Gyokeres, and Eze combined for another goal. 

Arsenal are at the top of the table now. 

We will see you tomorrow during the Manchester derby at 9 pm IST. Till then, take care and good night.

Declan Rice won the ball back for Arsenal at the halfway mark. He found Trossard with an accurate pass. 

Trossard made a quick entry inside the box but could not take the shot before he was brought down.

He appealed for a penalty but was not given. 

4 minutes will be added to the final minutes.

Well, it has not been a perfect start for Ange to his Nottingham Forest career. But a goal would surely make it a better one.

Out: Madueke, Eze

In: Martinelli, Trossard

Yellow card for Williams for a foul on Madueke. 

Nottingham have not been able to guard the left side as Eze makes another swift entry inside the box. However, his cross was a bit long for Madueke to recieve. 

Out: Sangare, Gibbs-White

In: Yates, MacTee

Madueke found Timber with a classy, tricky pass and Timber's cross nearly found Rice at the center of the goal for the third of the night. 

Swinging cross from Bakwa and it fell in dangerously for Arsenal inside the box. But the defender was able to head it away from danger.

Eze found Merino with a brilliant touch. Then Merino's cross found Nwaneri, whose side volley went over the goal. 

Arsenal and Mikel Arteta finally have themselves a bagsman.

Within the first 50 seconds of the restart. 

Big mistake from Savona, and he missed the long ball. Eze made sure he picked up the ball and served it on a platter for Gyokeres to tap in for the second goal on the afternoon. 

Arsenal 2-0 NFO. 

No further changes from either team. 

The players are out, and we will soon have the second half started. 

A well-deserved 1-0 lead for Arsenal. 

Nottingham Forest did not have much to write about, and they will have to do a lot more to beat the defence of Arsenal. 

It was Martin Zubimendi's thunder strike that gave Arsenal the lead. 

Eze was able to get in a cross from the left byline through the legs of the defenders. 

But, Gyokeres could not get a full touch to the cross from Eze. 

Anderson found Wood at the edge of the box and then his touch went straight to Gibbs-White, who could not control his shot and missed the target. 

7 minutes have been added as injury time.

After conceding the goal, Forest have tried to go up with Anderson and Gibbs-White, looking to enter the final third. 

They have been silent for a few minutes now. Ange's men need to push the play up a bit more and win the ball back. 

🚨 ZUBIMENDI WITH A ROCKET!

Right back Savona has replaced Murillo. 

Another volley from the Spaniard. But this time it goes over the goal. 

I think he will have to be replaced now. He is playing with his body now till Ange makes a replacement. 

Martin Zubimendi, WOW! 😱

He has his first Premier League goal in some style, hitting a volley on the edge of the box past Matz Sels 🚀

— Premier League (@premierleague) September 13, 2025

Nooooo, you can not do that. 

From the corner, Madueke's service was headed away, but it fell perfectly for Zubimendi to go for a rocket volley from outside the box.

He scores his 11th goal. 

Arsenal take the lead. 

Arsenal 1-0 Nottingham Forest. 

In every corner, Sels has been able to come out and get his hand to the ball. This time, after he ounched the ball away, Murillo made the block for another corner. 

Madueke's corner nearly helped Timber head it for the first goal of the evening. But it went for another corner. 

Nwaneri found Zubimendi, and his pass across the turf found Eze at the corner of the box.

However, after a heavy first touch, Eze could not get the shot in the first place. His attempt then was blocked. 

Nweneri's left-footed volley from outside the box was blocked by a wall of defenders. 

Again on the right, he was able to go past Morato easily and send a cross towards the goal. 

So unfortunate for Arsenal. Nwaneri replaces Odegaard in the middle. 

Looks like the Arsenal captain will have to be subbed off here. The shoulder needs more treatment.

The defender allowed the long ball to bounce, and Gyokeres was quick to latch onto it and make a quick pass across the turf to Eze, whose shot was blocked and then saved by Sels. 

Ndoye's cross is saved by Raya, who had to dive to his right to grab the ball.

Odegaard is down with a shoulder injury. He is getting some medical attention. Not to forget he came back from injury only a few weeks back. 

Odegaard's flighted free-kick found Merino inside the box. However, his right-footed attempt from close range was saved by Sels. 

Wood fouls Gabriel, and it is an early free-kick for Arsenal. It is 30 yards away from the goal. 

Odeggard from the centre of the box looked for a partner inside the box. However, his toe touch was blocked by Williams. 

After a tussle with Calafiori, the youngster is down. 

From the back, they have tried to build up, and Nottingham have found it hard to get the ball back. 

Calafiori, Mosquera, Gabriel and Timber are guarding their back. 

Nottingham Forest kicks things off in their away jersey of white and blue. Arsenal are in their red and white.

Ange gives a big hug to Arteta. They are obviously very well known to each other during their North London Derbies. 

The players are coming out of the tunnle and we are ready to kick-off.

Liverpool get things going in the second half. 

I will have to admit Arsenal have done well in the first half. They attacked more and looked the better side.

Will we see any goals after the break?

It was a good game overall. Arsenal, just like last season, was great defensively. United looked good as well, but they could not find the net. 

A mistake from Bayindir helped Arsenal get the goal, and that was the game for them. 

Thank you for watching. We will see you next time. Good night. 

Last season's runners-up Arsenal start with a win as United's tough time continued. 

It was Calafiori's goal from the corner that was enough for them to seal the win. 

United did well, especially Cunha and Mbeumo. Dorgu came close to scoring when he hit the post in the first half.

Yorro to Sesko, and Sesko's back heel had given Ugarte to go for the goal. However, he was not on target. 

Yellow card for Gabriel for dissent and time wasting.

Yellow card for Dorgu for a foul on Timber. 

In: Merino

In: Maguire

Out: Luke Shaw

Good feet from Amad, but his shot did not have enough power to beat Raya. 

What a save from Raya!

Lovely from Cunha, who made a good run and played it out wide to Dorgu on the left. Dorgu's cross found Mbeumo inside the box, who jumped in the air to head the ball.

The ball dropped in front of Raya and was going into the goal.

However, Raya dived full streched to his left to make the save. 

In: Timber, Lewis-Skelly

Out: Calafiori, White

Ben White is down, injured and getting medical attention. Cunha believes he is wasting time. 

Brilliant ball from Cunha, and he found Mbeumo with a perfect pass. Mbeumo just could not get his shot away and was blocked by Gabriel. 

Seconds later, his acrobatic attempt missed the target. 

Double change from Amorim as Benjamin Sesko, who enters the fray alongside Manuel Ugarte, as Mason Mount and Casemiro make way.

In: Madueke, Havertz

In: Diallo

Out: Dalot

The head coach of the England men's football team is here to watch the proceedings. 

After a long pass, Gyokeres on the left had the chance to make a cutback and go for the goal. However, he could not control the ball and lost it against De Ligt. 

Luke Shaw found Mount with a cutback, and Mount's left-footed volley, which was on target, was blocked by Gabriel. 

No changes from either team.

Arsenal head into the tunnel with a 1-0 lead. It was an extremely open first half. 

Calafiori scored from a corner. Dorgu hit the post. Cunha and Mbeumo looked good so far for United. 

Lots of action to come in the second half. 

Stay tuned. 

1 minute has been added to the first 45 minutes. 

On his Premier League debut, the big signing of the season has not shone so far for Arsenal. He has lacked control and accuracy. 

Weak cross from Dorgu from the left. The cross was defended well by White. 

First yellow card of the day. Calafiori gets the yellow card for holding down Mbeumo.

Cunha has been a threat to Arsenal in the last few minutes. He has been sharp, quick and making moves.

His attempted cross from the left, close range, was deflected away by Raya. No United player was there to take the advantage though. 

Great run from Cunha as United looked to attack with a counterattack. But Cunha could not finish well as he shot directly at Raya, timidly. 

Martinelli went for a bicycle kick inside the box but could not connect the shot. 

Great start from the youngster. On the left, he made a good run, made a cut to his right and then went for a powerful shot. He hit the far post, missing the goal by an inch. 

Martinelli's weak right footed shot from close range was grabbed easily by Bayindir.

Casemiro won the ball back in their half and then sent a good long ball for Mbeumo. Mbeumo's shot was deflected for a corner by Gabriel. 

David Raya made a huge mistake in the goal, and as Cunha went for the goal, Raya pushed him to win the ball back.

However, the referee did not feel it was good enough for a penalty.
