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.

Well-deserved win and full points for Bayern Munich. 

They had more of the ball, made more attacks and scored more goals. Chelsea did have their moments, but lapsed in concentration in the defence. 

Harry Kane with a brace. He has now scored 10 goals in six games this season. For the 22nd campaign in a row, Bayern kick off the Champions League with a win.

Santos fouls Jackson and gets the yellow card.

Garnacho, Joao Pedro and Gusto linked up for a good move but Kim was there at the right place to block the attempt.

Tom Bischof replaces Serge Gnabry. Nicolas Jackson replaces Harry Kane.

 A VAR check was done on Palmer's second goal, and he was found offside. 

Bayern 3-1 Chelsea.

Estevao, with a special pass, and Palmer made the run into the box. 

He calmly finished it to beat Neuer.

Garnacho's right-footed attempt went straight to Neuer. Easy save.

Laimer gets the yellow card for a fould on Joao Pedro.

Olise fouls Cucurella and gets the yellow card. Looks like the German fans loved it.

Gnabry to Olise and then Olise to Diaz.

But Sanchez made the big save before the official flagged Diaz offside.

Enzo is replaced by Estevao.

He is back on the field as Chelsea looks to bring a change.

Chalobah is injured after falling down. Looks like a shoulder injury.

— The Touchline | 𝐓 (@TouchlineX) September 17, 2025

Olise should score from there. 

Kane, with a cutback from the byline, had found Olise with nearly an empty goal to aim at. 

But, he looked a bit casual with the finish there, and Sanchez, with a big dive, made the save.

Huge chance for Harry Kane. 

Laimer made a good run in the middle and then found Kane. 

Kane nearly went one-on-one against Sanchez, but could not beat him from a tight angle from left of the box.

Kimich with a cross pass found Kane, and Kane's toed-pass found Diax on the left. 

However, Diaz's right-footed shot went straight to the Chelsea goalkeeper.

Neuer, who is now the oldest Bayern Munich player to play in the Champions League, makes an easy save as Reece James' timid shot went straight to him. 

Although we thought he was fine, but after a run, he is limping. 

The leg took a big blow after the tussle with Gusto. 

Boey has replaced him and goes to right-back. Laimer moves over to the left.

The Bayern defender is fine and is up and running, 

Stanisic is down after a tussle. He is getting medical attention.

We are back from break.

Bayern replaced Tah with Kim.

Terrific first half. 

Chelsea started well, but Bayern kept their shape and made a comeback. 

An own goal and then Kane converted the penalty. But Palmer's strike made sure Chelsea stayed in the match. 

A huge 45 minutes to come. Stay tuned.

The last attack of the first half converts into a corner for Bayern as Cucurella deflects the cross from Olise.

2 mins added. 

Sanchez punched away the corner from Kimmich but it fell rightly for Olise to go for a left-footed volley. 

It missed the target though.

Olise again is able to play a crucial pass inside the box. 

This time, he found Kane. But, Kane's attempt was blocked and deflected for a corner.

Awful defence from Chelsea. 

Olise found Laimer easily with a through ball right. 

However, Laimer's shot went wide by a few inches.

Despite only being in his third full season, Cole Palmer has already scored against:

GAME ON!

Cole Palmer scores a stunner to bring the score down. 

Reece James won the ball back for Caicedo found Palmer with a great pass. 

Palmer carried on and found the net with a left footed strike from the edge of the box.

Bayern 2-1 Chelsea.

Harry Kane calmly sends Sanchez to the wrong side and hits the back of the net with a low penalty.

Bayern 2-0 Chelsea.

He did not give it initially and looks like it is a penalty for FC Bayern Munich.

Kane was brought down by Caicedo and it is a penalty.

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.

Andrey Santos replaces Delap.

Again from the corner, the ball was not cleared well, and Chalobah found the net with a cross-footed shot.

Looks like Caicedo will play a bit deep tonight, and he is following Bowen all over the place.

In case you have missed it, Cole Palmer has a niggle and was injured during the pre-match warmups. He will have to stay on the sidelines tonight. 

Chelsea, in their dark blue third kit, start the proceedings.

Of course, he had to score. 

Last season's Golden Boot winner scored for the 10th time in the opening league match for Liverpool, more than anyone. 

Wonderful skill from the Egyptian king as he made a quick cut back on the right and went for a shot with his right foot.

Six minutes have been added to the full time.

The Champions are BAAAAACCCKK and how!

Chiesa scores his first-ever goal for Liverpool, and what a time to do that. 

Salah's attempt was saved by Petrović, but it popped up in the air. 

Winterburn's headed clear fell at the right place for Chiesa to go for a powerful volley.

It's easy to see why Antoine Semenyo had interest from the likes of Liverpool, Man United and Spurs this summer 😮‍💨

Racially abused in the first half and he's now scored two goals in the second half to shut that racist up.

Yellow card for Evanilson for a foul on Szoboszlai

Szoboszlai goes for the goal with a left-footed shot. However, as he was falling down, he could not connect with the ball that well and missed the target. 

OHHHH MYYYY WORRRRLLLDDD!

What a goal by Semenyo.

In a counterattack, Semenyo made the long run, took the ball deep and with Liverpool defenders crowding him at the edge of the box, he went for a powerful shot.

It is all equal now.

In: Hamed Traore

Out: Alex Scott

In: Jones and Gomez

Out: Mac Alisster and Ekitike

The visitors are now looking dangerous. 

Brooks had the chance to go for the goal after some tussling. But, it was blocked by the Liverpool captain. 

Cody Gakpo's powerful shot from the left of the box goes straight to Petrović. 

The Brazilian's long ball fell perfectly for Salah to nearly go one-on-one against the goalkeeper. However, he could not finish the job after a poor second touch. 

Bournemouth are back in it.

Semenyo scores the goal for them. 

They find the net in a counterattack. Brooks with an inch-perfect cross from the left, and Semenyo was able to go past Robertson to side-foot the ball for a goal.

Dominic Szoboszlai's cross pass found Writz in a good position to go for a side-footed shot. 

Writz went for accuracy rather than power. However, he missed the goal by inches. 

In: Wataru Endo And Andy Robertson

Out: Jeremie Frimpong And Milos Kerkez

Brooks went for a cross from the touchline, close to the box. Alisson was able to get a punch to that. 

Semenyo then went for a shot, but went for a goalkick.

Mac Allister, with a powerful shot from the edge of the box, nearly scored. However, Petrović was cautious enough to deflect the away for a corner kick. 

Cody Gakpo doubles the lead for the defending champions. 

Poor defending here from the visitors. Hugo Ekitike made a quick turn at the edge of the box on the left and found Cody. 

The Dutch striker was then allowed to make an entry deep inside the box and go for a shot with his right-footed from 16-yards.

The second half starts. No changes from either side. 

In a counterattack, Liverpool and Salah had the chance to extend the lead before the half-time whistle. However, Truffert came running in and made the tackle to win the ball back.

Konate with an important block as Tavernier went for the goal from the edge of the box on left. 

From a long cross into the box, Ekitike had the chance to head the ball inside the goal. However, he headed the ball over the goal. 

Hugo Ekitike scores on his Premier League debut for Liverpool.

Mac Allister with the pass to him, and he kept on going inside the box. His attempted nutmeg to Senesi fell in the right place for him to go for an easy finish. 

He shows the 20 mark to dedicate the goal to Jota. 

Liverpool 1-0 AFC Bournemouth 

 Tavernier found a juicy ball inside the box following a cut-back from the right. He hit the ball straight to Alisson. He should be disappointed with that. 

Mac Allister made a good run into the box. However, the Argentine's side-footed pass for Firmpong could not find the winger as he ran ahead of the ball. 

Finally, the corner was take,n and it was Virgil van Dijk, who jumped in the air to get a head to it. However, it went straight to Petrovic. 

We have a break at the moment, with the referee having a word with the match officials and players. 

Ekitike had the chance to riddle the ball into the goal from an airy ball outside the box by Writz. But Diakite was there to deflect it for a corner to Liverpool FC.

Although Liverpool are enjoying more possession, the visitors have won the physical battle so far, with more bodies, winning tackles and one-on-one situations.

Semenyo, this time, manhandled Writz to win the ball back for Bournemouth. 

In the 20th minute of the match, fans show Diogo Jota's jersey and clap his name to give him a resounding tribute. 

After the first mistake, Konate now fails to clear the ball away and hands it to opponents. However, Evanilson, who has handed the ball over by Konate, was found offside.

Yellow card for David Brooks.
