Turkey are into the quarter-finals after a fighting win over Austria. What a match! That final save from Gunok took them into the last eight. They will now face the Netherlands in the final.

Gunok makes a match-winning save to deny Baumgartner.

Gunok makes another important save but time is dying for Austria.

Grillitsch takes his chance with his right foot. But it is an easy grab for Gunok. 

Gregoritsch scores for Austria. Another goal from the corner. Game on! Austria 1-2 Turkey.

Florian and Wober replace Laimer and Lienhart.

Another goal from the corner. Against the run of play, from the corner by Guler, Demiral jumps high in the air and gets the header in to double the lead. Austria 0-2 Turkey.

Ozcan replaces Yuksek for Turkey.

Demiral makes a block as Psoch is on target with his left foot. Attack after attack from Austria after the change.

Lienhart gets the yellow card for a foul on Guler.

Brilliant save by Gunok, who came out from his position to cut down the angle and stop Arnautović's one-on-one chance.

Gregoritsch's header goes away from the ball after a long cross by Posch form right.

Gregoritsch, who just came off the bench, scored a hat-trick in the 6-1 win for Austria back in March.

Gregoritsch and Prass replaced Schmid and Mwene for Austria. 

A perfect first half for Turkey. A quick goal and then defended well to stop Austria from scoring. It was an entertaining first half for both teams. We might see some changes from Austria in the second half.

Yellow card for İsmail Yüksek for a foul on Baumgartner. He will miss the next match, if they qualify.

Yellow card for Schmid.

1 – Austria 🇦🇹 conceded their earliest goal in a game since October 1965 when Jürgen Nöldner also scored in the opening minute for the GDR in World Cup qualification, with that match also coming in Leipzig. Shocked. #AUTTUR #EURO2024

Turkey have been great with and without the ball. They have been able to outnumber Austria whenever they lose the ball and have not allowed them to have space to play their natural game.

Again Demiral got the better of the Austrian defenders and jumped high enough to get the corner from Guler. However, his header missed the goal narrowly. 

Guler tried to go long and surprise the goalie from a long distance. However, he is off target with his attempt. 

Before this tournament, there had never been a goal scored in the opening minute of a game at the European Championships.

Orkun Kökçü gets the yellow card. He will miss the next match.

Merih Demiral scored the fastest goal in Euro knockout history (57 seconds).

Nearly an equaliser for Austria. A low corner was not dealt well by the defenders and Baumgartner had the chance to kick the ball in the far post.

What a start for Turkey! The first corner turns into a goal. Damiral scores after the corner was half-dealt by the Austrian defenders. 

Austria kicks things off!

We are minutes away from kick-off!

Turkey are without captain Hakan Calhanolgu, who is suspended for their #EURO2024 clash against Austria.

They have failed to win any of their past four competitive matches when he has been absent (three draws, one loss).

Real Madrid passes the Atalanta test. Somehow, they stay in the competition. Goals from Mbappe, Vinicus Jr. and Jude Bellingham for the defending champion. Meantime, Atalanta fought back with De Ketelaere converting a penalty and Lookman scoring a stunner.

This is Real Madrid's first away win in the competition this season. Meantime, Atalanta faced their first defeat of the competition this season. 

Brilliant from Lookman to get that cross across the box. But, Retegui despite being at the front of the goal, missed the target.

Yellow card for Kossounou and Lucas Vázquez. The later will miss the next UCL game for Madrid.

4 minutes added to the full time. Will we see another goal?

Zaniolo comes in for Ruggeri.

Arda Guler replaces Bellingham.

The Belgian goalkeeper gets down quickly to save a left-footed shot from Retegui.

Modric and Asencio come in for Ceballos and Diaz.

The wing-back came running on the edge of the box and wanted to curl the ball back inside the goal. But. he was not on target. 

Samardžić was on target again with his left-footed strike. But, Courtois dived to his left to make the save. 

Lookman's effort from outside the box is blocked by Tchouaméni. However, Samardžić had a go at the goal with the rebound ball. But, the deflection made it easier for Courtois to make the save.

On the counterattack, Kossounou had the chance to either go for the goal or give it to Retegui on the left. However, he took too much of time and eventually his shot was deflected for a corner.

Retegui, Kossounou and Zappacosta replace De Ketelaere, Djimsiti, and Bellanova.

Rodrygo is showing that he is still on par with all the other stars of Madrid. A quick run on the left and then went for a shot with his right foot. Good save from Carnesecchi.

Vinicius with an acceleration and then gave it away to Diaz to go for a side volley. However, he was not on target.

Who else? It is Lookman who finds the net for Atalanta. Through the legs of Lucas Vázquez, he defeated a diving Courtois to reduce the deficit. 

ATA 2-3 RMA

Bellanova's on-target effort was saved by Courtois.

The home fans are trying their best to keep their team in play. Lookman earlier had a go at the goal but missed his chance.

Real Madrid is cooking now. After Mbappe and Vinicius, Jude Bellingham scores for them. Vinicius Jr with a great lobbed ball for Jude, who first controlled the ball and made an entry to the left, before shooting past Carnesecchi with a left-footed effort. 

ATA 1-3 RMA

Pašalić is replaced by Samardžić.

One chance, one turn, one shot and Vinicius Jr is on the scoresheet. Real Madrid get the lead back. 

ATA 1-2 RMA

Lookman with a great chance from inside the box after Ruggeri played out a good pass to him. Though he could have gone for the far post, he chose to bluff Courtois. The Real Madrid goalie was ready for the task and got low quickly to make the save.

We have seen a few missed passes from both teams. Meantime, Vinicius was blocked inside the box while running away with the ball. Not penalty given. 

Ruggeri with a great cross from left for De Ketelaere to jump high in the air and get the header. However, despite beating Rudiger with the jump, he failed to be on target. 

Atalanta starts things off in the second half.

⚠️ | QUICK STAT

Charles De Ketelaere now has 7 goal involvements (3 ⚽️ & 4 🅰️) in the #UCL this season — no player has recorded more in the competition in 2024/25. 🔥

He smashes home the penalty just before the break to make it 1–1 at half-time! 🚀#AtalantaRealMadrid pic.twitter.com/8CfAyuXU8I

— Sofascore Football (@SofascoreINT) December 10, 2024

What a stunning penalty! De Ketelaere, with his left foot, hits the top corner and it is 1-1 right before the half-time. GAME ON!

ATA 1-1 RMA  

Penalty for Atalanta. Tchouameni brings down Kolašinac inside the box and the ref did not hesitate to blow the whistle.

1 minute added to the first half as injury time.

Lookman was adjudged offside by the ref. However, the replay showed he was within the line by a fair margin. 

Top class from Jude Bellingham. But, Rudiger could not get that header in target for Real Madrid.

Kylian Mbappe is injured and forced to leave the field. Rodrygo, who is also coming back from an injury, replaces him.

Tchouameni with a rare missed pass and Ruggeri was trying to run away with the ball on the left flank. But Diaz came from behind and took the ball away with a slide.

Somehow, even without much possession, Atalanta have been able to sneak into the final third. But, they have not been able to go past Rudiger and Tchouameni inside the box.

Excluding qualifiers, Kylian Mbappé has now scored the same amount of Champions League goals as Thierry Henry (50).

Fewest games needed to score 50 Champions League goals (excluding qualifying):

◎ Lionel Messi (66)

— Squawka (@Squawka) December 10, 2024

Top class from Tchouameni again. Atalanta keep on attacking and this time Ederson's shot was blocked by Tchouameni, inside the box. Goal coming for them?

Another chance for the home team to cash in. But, De Ketelaere's shot did not have enough power to beat Courtois.

Mbappé has become the ninth player to reach the 50-goal landmark in the UEFA Champions League proper. At the age of 25 years and 356 days, he is the second youngest to bring up his half-century, behind only Lionel Messi (24y 284d)

1. Lionel Messi (24y 284d)
2. Kylian Mbappe (25Y 356d)

Lookman's cross was heading towards Bellanova. But, Rudiger came in between him and the ball and cleared the ball out for a corner. He was livid with the two centerbacks for letting the cross come in.

First it was Tchouameni with a great block to deny Lookman from inside the box. That gave Kylian Mbappe the chance to run away with the ball in a counterattack. However, Carnesecchi was good enough to stop the effort from Mbappe.

Lookman tried to head the ball inside the goal but could not get the power he was looking for. Easy grab for Courtois. 

Kylian Mbappe hits his 50th UCL goal of his career. Brahim Diaz with the pass just from the edge of the box and after a great first touch and quick turn, the French striker unleashed his power into the far post. 

First away goal of the UCL season for Real Madrid.

ATA 0-1 RMA.

Valverde hits the wall with a free-kick and it goes for a corner. Madrid looking for that first away goal of the UCL season so far.

Great ball from the right and Lookman went for a quick side volley. However, he did not connect the volley that well and it is an easy grab for Courtois.

Top save early in the game for Carnesecchi as Mbappe tried to go over his head and he had to come out to make the save. Good start from Madrid.

Here we go. Kylian Mbappe gets us going in the first half. Electric atmosphere!

We are minutes away from a historic night in Italy. Serie A current table topper against the 15-time UCL Champions!

Atalanta XI: Carnesecchi, Hien, Pašalić, Lookman, Éderson, De Roon, Bellanova, De Ketelaere, Djimsiti, and Ruggeri.

Subs: Rui Patrício, Rossi, Tolói, Kossounou, Godfrey, Zaniolo, Samardžić, Palestra, Retegui, Brescianini, and Zappacosta.

Real Madrid XI: Courtois, Lucas Vázquez, Tchouameni, Rüdiger, Fran García, Ceballos, Valverde, Brahim, Bellingham, Vini Jr., and Mbappé.

Substitutes: Lunin, Sergio Mestre, Modrić, Rodrygo, Arda Güler, Endrick, Vallejo, Youssef, Asencio, and Chema.

Atalanta

Marco Carnesecchi (GK); Berat Djimsiti, Isak Hien, Sead Kolasinac; Raoul Bellanova, Marten De Roon, Ederson, Matteo Ruggeri; Charles De Ketelaere, Mario Retegui, Ademola Lookman

Real Madrid

Thibaut Courtois (GK); Lucas Vazquez, Raul Asencio, Antonio Rudiger, Fran Garcia; Federico Valverde, Aurelin Tchouameni, Jude Bellingham; Rodrygo Goes, Kylian Mbappe, Vinicius Jr.

Well, the list is a bit long for Carle Ancelotti to look at. Vinícius Júnior suffered a hamstring injury on 24th November and has not played a game since then. Eduardo Camavinga (hamstring) are Ferland Mendy (thigh) are unavailable for this match while Éder Militão and Dani Carvajal are out of the season with injuries. 

David Alaba is also suffering from a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament. Rodrygo is also doubtful for this fixture. 

Gianluca Scamacca is out with a knee injury until 2025 while Davide Zappacosta has been out since November 10 after suffering a calf injury. Other than that, the rest of the squad will be available for Gianpiero Gasperini against Real Madrid. 

The Spanish and Champions League champions have found themselves a bit hot and cold this season. They have lost 4 of their last 8 games across all competitions. However, their 3-0 victory against Girona will give their fans confidence. Jude Bellingham and Kylian Mbappe returned to form by scoring against Girona. 

After not scoring in the first 10 games of the season, Bellingham scored in the last five games. Meantime, Mbappe also has scored thrice in the last four games, taking his tally to 9 goals in 15 games. 

However, they have found it tough in the Champions League and are currently at number 24 position on the points table with only 6 points in 5 games. They have lost thrice and won twice in the league phase so far. But, they are Real Madrid. Carlo Ancelotti's men are always one moment away from making a comeback.

Gianpiero Gasperini's team last lost a game in September and now have won 9 consecutive games in Serie A after their recent win over AC Milan, thanks to Ademole Lookman's late strike at home. This is also their Atalanta's joint-longest winning streak in Serie A which they achieved back in February and July 2020.

They are leading the Serie A table with 34 points in 15 games. In addition to their Serie A form, they have emerged as one of the dark horses of the Champions League and are one of the three teams still remaining unbeaten in the league phase, alongside Liverpool and Inter Milan.

They are at number five on the points table with 11 points in 5 matches.

Carvajal's long ball was headed by Vinicius with lobbed straight into the hands of Chevalier. 

5 minutes were added as injury time. Can the home side resist the champions? 

What a chance for the youngster! Modric with the areal ball for the youngster to head the ball inside the goal. But, he could not get the power he wanted and Chevalier made the save. 

Thomas Meunier comes in for Bakker. 

Nearly for Real Madrid. But, Chevalier stands like a wall to deny Rudiger, whose header nearly went in for the equaliser. Top save. 

Mbappe to Vini, Vini then puts the cross in and Valverde heads the ball in for Jude Bellingham to get a toe to the ball. But, Bouaddi was there to block the shot and Chevalier then saved the rebound ball. 

Vinicius with the curling, tempting cross towards Jude Bellingham, who was waiting at the far post. However, Gabriel Gudmundsson came in between and kicked the ball for a corner. 

Three back-to-back yellow cards for Real Madrid players. This time it is Luka Modric, who fouled Santos.

Nearly for Zhegrova as the made the cutback on the right and then went for a left-footed shot from outside the box. Though Lunin had it covered, it could have gone in, the way it was curling. 

Brilliant from Thiago Santos, who slid in to win the ball from Carvajal, who was going for a shot from the edge of the box, after Real Madrid switched play from right to left.

Enough to waiting and we can see Kylian Mbappe warming up on the byline along with Luka Modric. 

Yellow card for Endrick for a foul on Alexsandro.

Fran Garcia replaces Mendy at the start of the second half.

No one would have imagined this score at the start of the game. But, Lille have been good to not allow Madrid to dictate the pace of the game. Meantime. Real Madrid did not look at their best and Camavinga conceeded the penalty with a hand-ball at the stroke of half-time.

Jonathan David was calm enough to beat Lunin and give them the lead. 

Real Madrid had the chance to level up with Vini trying to go over the goalie and Endrick missing the target with the rebound ball. 

Jonathan David had to wait a long before taking the penalty. He hits the top right corner and beats Lunin from the spot. 

Lille lead. Lille 1-0 Real Madrid.

Zhegrova hits Camavinga with the free-kick and it hits his hand. VAR check is going on for a penalty.

Zhegrova was running away with the ball, went past Jude and passed it to Cabella, who was fouled by Rudiger at the edge of the box. Free-kick from dangerous position. 

INCREDIBLE DOUBLE SAVE BY ANDRIY LUNIN TO KEEP THE GAME AT 0-0 🤯 pic.twitter.com/ZlsvY9kBG2

— ESPN FC (@ESPNFC) October 2, 2024

Bellingham fouls Zhegrova and it is a free-kick for Lille from a good position. 

David had the chance to run away with the long ball and lob the ball over Lunin. But, Militao came from behind to go shoulder to shoulder against him and win the battle. 

At 18 years and 73 days old, Endrick is the youngest player to start a match in the UEFA Champions League proper for Real Madrid.

The French striker, who is benched for tonight, does not look impressed with the proceedings as Mendy falls on the pitch and losses the ball. 

Chance wasted for Lille. Zhegrova with the cross to find Jonathan David with an easy header at the far post, could not go past Lunin, who went down quickly to make the save. The ball brushed off against the post and went for a corner. 

David with a great ball for Bouaddi, who first ran through with the ball and then looked for Bakker with his side foot. But Carvajal came in between to intecept. 

Zhegrova had the chance to make an entry to the final third from the right, but he decided to take too much time. And, against players like Carvajal and Mnedy, you are bound to lose the battle. 

Endrick kept on going with the ball before he tried to lob that ball over the goalie. However, his effort was saved by Chevalier. 

Zhegrova with a cross for Santos, who chest trapped the ball down and looked for any of his teammates to pick that ball. Good, but not good enough to punish Real Madrid.

Except for Vini's effort in the 6th minute, Lille have kept the 4-4-2 formation to defend well and also kept the ball on theri feet. Meantime, Real Madrid are yet to intensify their play. 

It is not easy against a team like Real Madrid, to shake off the nervs and start well. Zhegrova and Santos have been doing all the hard work on the right and making the moves. 17-year-old Bouaddi yet to make any move so far.

Vinicius Junior cuts back in and takes a shot with his right foot. Chevalier had to go low to his left to make the first save of the night. Pretty sure, he knows, he will have to make more of that in the next 90-odd minutes.

Gyökeres and Debast scored two goals for Sporting CP as Lille suffered a 2-0 defeat at the hands of the Portuguese team in Lisbon. Angel Gomes' red card in the 40th minute made them handicapped and they felt it tough to comeback from that. 

Mbappe, Rudiger and Endrick scored for the defending champions against the German club Sttutgart at their home in Madrid as they won by 3-1. However, the scoreline does not suggest how tough Sttutgart was against them and it was a hard-earned win for the Los Blancos.

Yellow card for Ollie Watkins.

4 minutes added as injury time.

Simon first punched away Declan Rice's header. The round shot from Guehi is then headed away by Olmo. 

Merino comes in for Yamal and Toney comes in for Foden.

Oyarzabal scores for Spain. Brilliant from Cucurella to find Oyarzabal on the run from the left and he snubs the ball in to give Spain the lead.

Nacho replaces Le Normand for Spain.

Pickford with an important save again. He denies Lamine Yamal again. The Spanish star would be disappointed with this one.

Cole Palmer makes history.

Cole Palmer scores and equalises for England. It is in these moments that England have found the spark. Off the bench, and with the support, Palmer shoots from a Jude Bellingham cutback and finds the back of the net. It is 1-1!

Game on!

Easy grab for Pickford and Oyarzabal did not have the angle to beat him on the left.

Chance for England with Saka making the moves on the right. He had Carvajal under pressures and had beaten him on the ball but Laporte cleared out the danger for Spain.

Mainoo is replaced by Palmer.

Oyarzabal replaces the Spanish captain Alvaro Morata.

Brilliant and huge from Pickford. He dives to his left to deny Lamine Yamal. It was going for the goal. Exciting, direct football from Spain. They are going for that second goal.

Bellingham makes a stunning turn to get the better of Carvajal but the bending shot did not end up where is was looking for. It goes for a goal kick. Good spell of football for England fans.

Stay calm. We've been here before.

The England captain is replaced by Ollie Watkins. 

First Morata's shot was blocked by Guehi and then he missed the target with his left foot. Minutes later, Nico Williams missed the target from edge of the box with a shot from left foot.

First half: No goals from either team; 8 shots altogether 

Second Half: 

46' | Injured Rodri is replaced by Zubimendi.

47' | Nico Williams scores for Spain; ESP 1-0 ENG.

66' | Pickford denies Yamal

73' | Equaliser from Plamer; ESP 1-1 ENG.

82' | Pickford denies Yamal, again

86' | Oyarzabal scores for Spain; ESP 2-1 ENG.

90' | Double save from Spain

Yellow card for John Stones for a foul on Zubimendi.

Another chance for Spain. However, the joint-top scorer of the tournament could not keep the ball on target.

Cool and calm finish from the boy from Bilbao. He draws the first blood in the game. Ruiz found Carvajal on the right who flicked the ball to Lamine Yamal. Yamal, upon making an entry to the final third, made the cross to Nico on the far end and Nico did the rest to find the low corner of the far post.

Spain lead. 

Unfortunate for the Spanish defender as he is replaced by Zubimendi.

The first half finishes goalless as both teams failed to have a crack at the opponent's goals. Though Spain had the better possession and played more passes, England tried to find their way with counterattacks. But, both teams lacked the final spark at the top of the box.

The first shot on target from England as Phil Foden stretched out his left leg to deflect the corner form Declan Rice. Calm Simon makes the grab.

Who else? Rodri, the leader in the back blocks a shot from Harry Kane. Clever play from Jude on the left to find Kane in the middle. The rebound ball had found Kyle Walker but Nico Williams fouled him to stop the attack.

Morata received a great pass from Ruiz and tried to enter the final yard from the left. However, Guehi guarded him with his back while Stones cleared out the ball for a Spain corner.

Every time England have won the ball and tried to make something out of it, Spain have been great at winning the ball back. Cucurella specially have been great with that for them.

Sapin have been very patient before making the final pass or the cross. After spanning quite a few minutes on the ball with a pass from right to left, Williams received the ball from Laporte. But, his final cross for Alvaro Morata, who was waiting in the box, is very long.

Luke Shaw got the better of young Lamine Yamal as the 17 year old tried to make an entry from the right but Shaw had him marked and sent the ball for a corner before he could make the cross.

Dani Olmo is cautioned by the referee for a foul on Declan Rice. He caught Rice right on the mid-rif with his boot.

England looking to take advantage of the high-pressing game by Spain and going for counterattacks. With Luke Shaw making a run on the left and then dribbling over Carvajal, they had a great chance of making it a serious threat. However, he could not get the first touch the way he was looking for, he had to cut back to Kane, who could not get his shot right. 

Cucurella cleared the ball out of danger for Spain.

England captain Harry Kane gets a caution for a foul on Fabian Ruiz, the first of the night.

First attack from England with Luke Shaw making the overlap on the right after receiving the ball from Saka. However, his cross for Jude in the middle is blocked by Laporte. First corner for England.

Nico Williams, after having the space on the left, entered the box. However, his cross is blocked by a sliding John Stones.

Rodri, a bit late on the ball, catches Jude Bellingham in the left side on the middle of the pitch. A free-kick for England but Guehi's foul nullified the attack for them. 

Spain still enjoying more possession with better passes.

Nico Williams' weak cross from the right is partially negotiated by Stones. It goes for a corner. Spain, just like the whole tournament are pressing very high.

Both Shaw and Carvajal are coming in the final after missing out in the last game. Shaw, who has been making his Euro 2024 debut, won the ball in England's half. Meantime, Carvajal, who had to miss the semis due to card issues, won the ball back from Shaw on the byline.

England get things underway.

We are ready to go! Packed stadium, a brilliant atmosphere with Royalty in the house.
