The defending champions win 2-1 with a late goal by Goncalo Ramos. 

Barcelona face their first defeat of the season. Hansi Flick would be very disappointed with that.

Without four big names, PSG was able to get three points against Barcelona, away from home. Hakimi was just incredible in the second half and created all the chances for them.

The free-kick allowed Getafe to have a ball lofted inside the box. But, Joan Garcia was brave to call for it and grab the ball.

Kounde could not clear the ball properly, and Munoz, the former Real Madrid man, had a chance to hit the back of the net.

However, he could not get the job done with a volley. 

As expected, we are going to see a change from FC Barcelona. Marcus Rashford will be replacing Raphinha.

In the counterattack, everyone thought Raphinha was offside. Everyone had stopped, and Ferran Torres sent the ball past the goalkeeper for the second goal of the night.

The long ball had found Raphinha inside Barcelona's own half, and that is why it was not offside.

Raphinha makes a horrible challenge coming from behind, and the Gefate coach appeals for the yellow card. However, no caution has been given.

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.

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.

In a counterattack Romero found Morales, nearly one-on-one, but Balde came in running to make the tackle and win the ball. 

Yellow card for Martinez for a foul on Lamine Yamal, just outside the box.

Balde's cross from the left found Raphina inside the box. 

However, his header missed the target by few inches.

3 minutes of the injury time. 

Yellow card for Balde for dissent. 

De La Fuente's header goes wide. He had made a timely run to meet the ball from the lofted free-kick. Huge chance.

Lamine Yamal plays a quick one-two and then goes for a shot with his left foot. Normally, you expect him to do better here but his weak shot goes straight to Cunat.

A chaos inside the box by Levante defender and Pedri found Ferran inside the box.

Although he was nearly one-on-one against Cunat, he hit the crossbar.

After lots of passes and plays, Pedri decided to make a quick turn and take a shot from the edge of the box.

But, it went straight to Cunat.

The 38-year-old striker had timed his run perfectly. But Marc Casado won the ball back from him inside the box.

Rashford, Balde and Ferran played a very quick move with Ferran side-footing the ball from inside the box. 

But it was eventually an easy save from Cunat.

Yamal looks for Ferran with a through ball. However, it was too quick for Ferran to recieve it. 

Manu Sanchez is doing a great job of marking Lamine. But, Lamine was able to enter the box. Though his effort was deflected away for a corner.

Lamine puts a great cross from the right, looking for Ferran. However, he could not meet the ball and Cunat made an easy save.

1-0 Levante.

GOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLL ROMEROOOOOO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LADIES AND GENTLEMEN BARCELONA HAVE GONE BEHIND !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! pic.twitter.com/X5OKS05qXE

No offside this time, and Ivan Romero scores for Levante. 

Toljan tapped the cross from the left, and Romero first played the dummy and then went for the goal to beat Joan Garcia.

Levante 0-1 Barcelona

Balde's shot from the edge of the box was deflected and it could have gone anywhere. It goes for a corner.

Marcus Rashford tries his luck with a lofted shot from the left. But Cunat was cautious and made the save.

I think you will have to hear this term all over the next 90 minutes. Barcelona are playing in the midfield, actually. 

On the left, inside the box, he nearly dribbled past three defenders before he was blocked, and Barcelona won the corner.

Morales scores for Levante but he is offside by a mile. 

Except for Morales, everyone is keeping their position, and Levante's shape is 5-4-1, and they would look to score in a counterattack. 

Raphinha, who is playing a bit central tonight, takes a shot from outside the box. He skied the ball up in the air while doing that.

Rashford, on the left, from close range, wanted to score from the byline. However, Cunat, who is the main goalkeeper of Spain U-21 team, made the save.

Do not know if he was looking for Rashford or if he was going for the goal, but Lamine could not get a proper connection. The deflection allowed Barcelona have thier first corner.

From the start, Barcelona has kept a very high line. Ivan Romaro was caught offside.

Here we go! Barcelona in green start the proceedings in Valencia.
