Marmoush with the cross and O'Reilly had the whole goal to aim at. But, he missed the target.

Great run from Salah to keep himself onside and then he tried to clip the ball over Donnarumma. But the Italian goalkeeper got a hand to it, and the ball was just inches away from going inside the goal.

From the corner, Salah was close to flick the ball over Donnarumma. But the big man was able to come quicker and get a hand on it, before City defenders got the ball out of danger.

First shot on target from Liverpool - by Szoboszlai. Save from Donnarumma.

Jeremy Doku is replaced by Omar Marmoush for City.

Curtis Jones replaced Alexis Mac Allister for Liverpool.

Penalty saved, then Haaland scored, Van Dijk's goal was ruled out and finally Nico scored for City.

Lots to talk for Slot in the break. Not many for Pep.

However, he took a bit of time to go for the goal and a slight touch from Mamardashvili brought him down.

However, Isak was found offside after that attempt.

Double chance for Liverpool. 

First, Gakpo's cross was deflected by a defender, and it went on to brush the post. 

In the second chance, Salah's header went straight to Lammens.

Kerkez's cross was not cleared well by Shaw, and Isak had a full sight of the goal.

But, he could not get the shot from the sweet spot of his feet. 

Mbeumo's cross was for Cunha, whose effort was half saved by Mamardashvili. The rebound ball fell right in the place for Mount to latch on. But, he could not do that. 

Cunha switched the play, and Amad found Bruno with the cutback. The Manchester United captain should be on target from that position. 

But, he mistimed the shot and a chance gone begging for the Red Devils. 

Uffffff! 

Great football from Liverpool. Salah picked up the ball in the midfield and played it around the defenders for a great pass to Gakpo.

The Dutch striker, with a beautiful first touch, went around the defender and hit the post with a curling right-footed shot.

United are lucky here not to concede.

Gakpo's shot from inside the box hit Amad Diallo. It looked very close. No VAR check, though, from the referees. 

Salah had the chance to score from close range, but he wanted to give the ball back to Isak. Luke Shaw meantime, made the intervention to rescue it for United. 

From the free-kick, Salah's delivery found the Liverpool captain at the far post. However, a diving Van Dijk could not get the header on target.

On his Champions League debut, Garcia made another save as Elanga first made a quick run and then sent a perfect cross for Barnes.

But, Garcia dived to his left to make the save from Barnes.

A cross from the right and Lewandowski had the chance to head the ball inside the goal. But, Pope came out to punch the ball out of danger.

The home side have found quite a few ways to enter the final third. This time, Kounde deflected a cross from the left for Newcastle's first corner.

Newcastle United. Champions League. 🖤🤍

Barcelona were able to quickly release the ball and found Raphinha and Rashford linking up on the left. 

Rashford's shot though went wide.

Burnes and Tonali linked up well before Tonali took a chance with a cross booted shot. Garcia made his first save of the night.

Elanga's perfectly timed cross from the right found Gordon at the centre of the box. But Gordon could not connect the shot. Huge let off!

 Fermín López misses a tagret with a left-footed shot.

Barcelona in pink, start the proceedings.

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.

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.

The newcomers take the lead.
