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.

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:

Man Utd
Man City
Arsenal

Yellow card for Tah for a foul on Joao Pedro

Yellow card for Chelsea coach Enzo Maresca for dissent. 

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.

From nowhere, FC Bayern Munich finds the back of the net. 

Olise had lots of space to work with, and his cross from the right was deflected inside his own goal by Chalobah.

Bayern take the lead.

Early chance for Enzo. But he could not connect side volley.

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.
