Alas, we didn\u2019t get the carnage of Tuesday night, even with a few one-sided thrashings in the mix. Here\u2019s what the table looks like now, with Bayern Munich joining PSG up top. That\u2019s all from me \u2013 thanks for joining!<\/p>\n
Share<\/a>Match reportsShare<\/a><\/p>\n And that\u2019s a wrap, with a couple of goalless draws alongside Chelsea\u2019s 5-1 win (Liverpool had some fun, too)<\/a>.<\/p>\n Anders writes in:<\/p>\n You\u2019ve said nothing much about the slew of open shots and misses by Monaco and ridiculous saves by Vicario when something comes through from close range. Spurs might actually steal this.<\/p>\n Belated kudos to Vicario, who had to fend off eight shots on target. Spurs remain unbeaten in this European campaign.<\/p>\n Share<\/a>Full-time scoresShare<\/a><\/p>\n Sporting 2-1 Marseille: It\u2019s 10 v 10 as Sporting\u2019s Maximiliano Ara\u00fajo is shown a red after squaring up to Benjamin Pavard, who performed some spectacular theatrics to go down to the ground. But \u2026 what\u2019s this \u2026 the referee is sent to the monitor and the red is turned into a yellow. We\u2019re into added time.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a017.22 EDT<\/p>\n GOAL! Sporting 2-1 Marseille (Alisson Santos 86)<\/p>\n Sporting have turned it around in Lisbon, courtesy of a vicious deflection: Alisson Santos picks up the ball on the left, jinks and cuts inside before his shot slams Benjamin Pavard, bounces and loops over the keeper.<\/p>\n Sporting’s Alisson Santos (right) celebrates scoring their second goal with Fotis Ioannidis. Photograph: Pedro Rocha\/ReutersShare<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a017.05 EDT<\/p>\n Monaco 0-0 Tottenham: Monaco\u2019s Minamino, once of Liverpool, is close to the penalty spot, the ball bobbling up nicely for him \u2026 but his wallop is sent over the bar when he needed to show a bit more finesse. Seven minutes of normal time remain.<\/p>\n Share<\/a>GOAL! Bayern Munich 4-0 Club Brugge (Jackson 79)<\/p>\n Nicolas Jackson adds another flourish to the scoreline: Laimer has a shot blocked from close range but the ball trickles perfectly into the path of Jackson, who taps in.<\/p>\n Nicolas Jackson of Bayern Munich (right) slots the ball past Club Brugge\u2019s keeper Nordin Jackers to make it 4-0 to the home side.

Sporting 1-1 Marseille (Catamo 69)<\/p>\n Sporting finally use their advantage against 10 men: Geny Catamo is played in and curls into the bottom left corner. The offside flag initially goes up but VAR, after taking its time, grants a goal.<\/p>\n Sporting’s Geny Catamo fires home to level things up against Marseille.

Real Madrid 1-0 Juventus (Bellingham 57)<\/p>\n It\u2019s Jude Bellingham who scores but the goal is really Vin\u00edcius J\u00fanior\u2019s. He twists and turns inside the area, getting a shot off that rattles the post, and Bellingham is the quickest to react from close range to tap in.<\/p>\n Real Madrid’s Jude Bellingham celebrates after opening the scoring against Juventus.

Chelsea 5-1 Ajax (George 48)<\/p>\n Tyrique George gets in on the fun, with another deflection costing Ajax. He\u2019s first on to the loose ball just inside the area, firing away with his left foot, and the ball rattles off Lucas Rosa, into the net. Ajax\u2019s mare continues.<\/p>\n Chelsea’s Tyrique George celebrates scoring their fifth goal against Ajax. Photograph: Isabel Infantes\/ReutersShare<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a016.30 EDT<\/p>\n Real Madrid 0-0 Juventus: Dusan Vlahovic nearly slots in for Juventus on the break, five minutes into the second half, but Thibaut Courtois\u2019 left leg is in the way as he closes down the angle.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a017.23 EDT<\/p>\n Half-time scoresShare<\/a>RED CARD! Emerson sent off for Marseille!<\/p>\n This is rather bizarre: Emerson Palmieri, having received a yellow just minutes ago for handball, is given his second in added time for diving! The referee initially gave Marseille a penalty but VAR had a look and the decision was reversed, with the French club the ones to suffer.<\/p>\n Share<\/a>GOAL! Chelsea 4-1 Ajax (Est\u00eav\u00e3o pen 45+6)<\/p>\n Fern\u00e1ndez gives Est\u00eav\u00e3o his blessing, and the Brazilian teenager wallops the ball into the top left corner.<\/p>\n Est\u00eav\u00e3o of Chelsea kisses the ball as he prepares to take a penalty.

Photograph: Peter Cziborra\/Action Images\/ReutersShare<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a016.04 EDT<\/p>\n Another penalty for Chelsea!<\/p>\n This is getting ridiculous. Youri Baas lands a foot on Est\u00eav\u00e3o and Chelsea have another penalty on the stroke of half-time. Ajax have imploded here.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a015.52 EDT<\/p>\n GOAL! Chelsea 3-1 Ajax (Fern\u00e1ndez pen 45)<\/p>\n Fern\u00e1ndez won the penalty and slots it in, too, comfortably finding the right corner.<\/p>\n Enzo Fern\u00e1ndez celebrates after slotting home from the spot for Chelsea\u2019s third goal of the game. Photograph: Adam Davy\/PAShare<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a015.59 EDT<\/p>\n Penalty to Chelsea!<\/p>\n The chaos continues at Stamford Bridge, with Wout Weghorst committing a very silly sliding challenge inside the Chelsea area. It\u2019s blatant.<\/p>\n Enzo Fernandez of Chelsea is taken out by Wout Weghorst of Ajax. Photograph: Dan Mullan\/Uefa\/Getty ImagesShare<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a015.57 EDT<\/p>\n Monaco 0-0 Tottenham: It remains goalless as we reach the 40-minute mark in this one, with Kevin Danso heading straight at the keeper after a deft cross by Lucas Bergvall. Anywho, Danso fouled in the buildup.<\/p>\n Share<\/a>GOAL! Bayern Munich 3-0 Club Brugge (D\u00edaz 34)<\/p>\n Luis D\u00edaz adds to this demolition job, breaking into the area from the left before walloping a shot in, off the underside of the crossbar.<\/p>\n Luis Diaz thumps home a third goal for Bayern Munich. Photograph: Michaela Stache\/ReutersShare<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a015.51 EDT<\/p>\n GOAL! Chelsea 2-1 Ajax (Weghorst pen 33)<\/p>\n Wout Weghorst, we meet again. The former Manchester United forward beats J\u00f8rgensen, the keeper getting a bit on it after diving to his left.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a017.20 EDT<\/p>\n Penalty to Ajax!<\/p>\n It\u2019s all going on, with Ra\u00fal Moro going down inside the area after Tosin catches the Ajax winger\u2019s right foot. It\u2019s an easy call for the referee.<\/p>\n Share<\/a>GOAL! Chelsea 2-0 Ajax (Caicedo 27)<\/p>\n Oh, this is tough on Ajax. Mois\u00e9s Caicedo launches a piledriver from range \u2026 it\u2019s low and probably not going in \u2026 until it takes a wicked deflection off Josip Sutalo into the net.<\/p>\n Moises Caicedo extends Chelsea\u2019s lead.

Sporting 0-1 Marseille (Paix\u00e3o 14)<\/p>\n It\u2019s gorgeous from Igor Paix\u00e3o to give Marseille the lead in Lisbon. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang sets it up, lofting the ball to the other wing: Paix\u00e3o collects, cuts in from the left, and finds the top right corner from outside the area.<\/p>\n Share<\/a>GOAL! Chelsea 1-0 Ajax (Guiu 18)<\/p>\n Chelsea are quick to take advantage of the red card, with Marc Guiu tapping in from close range after a header across goal by Wesley Fofana. It suddenly looks a rather straightforward night in London.<\/p>\n Marc Guiu (centre) sidefoots home to put Chelsea into the lead. Photograph: Adam Davy\/PAGuiu celebrates.

Taylor sent off for Ajax!<\/p>\n Kenneth Taylor is off for Ajax after a VAR review, his studs up as he lunges into Facundo Buonanotte! The ref doesn\u2019t have to spend much time looking at the on-pitch monitor before upgrading his yellow to red.<\/p>\n Ooof. Ajax\u2019s Kenneth Taylor (right) is late on Chelsea\u2019s Facundo Buonanotte. Photograph: Adam Davy\/PAShare<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a017.26 EDT<\/p>\n Bayern Munich 2-0 Club Brugge (Kane 14)<\/p>\n There it is. Harry Kane takes 14 minutes to rack up his 20th club goal of the season. Konrad Laimer bursts into the area and plays an appetising ball across goal, with Kane there for perhaps the easiest tap-in of his career.<\/p>\n Harry Kane\u2019s not gonna miss from there. Photograph: Alexander Hassenstein\/Getty ImagesShare<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a015.23 EDT<\/p>\n Bayern Munich 1-0 Club Brugge: Karl, an age-group international with Germany, is making his first Champions League<\/a> start. A special moment, that was also his first senior club goal.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a015.13 EDT<\/p>\n GOAL! Bayern Munich 1-0 Club Brugge (Karl 5)<\/p>\n Bayern have scored \u2026 and it\u2019s not Harry Kane! No, it\u2019s the 17-year-old Lennart Karl with a stunner: he picks up the ball in midfield, jinks past his man, thunders into the D, and wallops the ball into the top right corner. Remember the name!<\/p>\n Bayern Munich’s Lennart Karl celebrates after giving the home side an early lead against Club Brugge. Photograph: Michaela Stache\/ReutersShare<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a015.14 EDT<\/p>\n Peeeeeeeep!<\/p>\n All seven 8pm BST kick-offs in the Champions League<\/a> are underway. Let the goals commence!<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a015.05 EDT<\/p>\n Nick Wayne opens up on his concerns:<\/p>\n I\u2019m worried. Monaco might just find their feet and the ball. Brittle doesn\u2019t describe Spurs\u2019 frontline. COYS<\/p>\n As mentioned earlier, there\u2019s no Eric Dier for Monaco, the former Spurs centre-half missing with a hamstring injury. The two sides met in the group stage of the Champions League<\/a> back in 2016 \u2026 with Monaco winning both games 2-1. Bernardo Silva was on the scoresheet at Wembley in front of 85,000 fans.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n It\u2019s full-time in the early kick-offs, with Athletic Bilbao and Galatasaray racking up 3-1 wins (Qarabag and Bodo\/Glimt the respective losers). Here\u2019s how the table\u2019s looking, with Qarabag also losing their 100% record.<\/p>\n Share<\/a>Atalanta v Slavia Prague teams<\/p>\n Atalanta: Carnesecchi, Kossounou, Hien, Djimsiti, Zappacosta, De Roon, \u00c9derson, Bernasconi, De Ketelaere, Krstovic, Lookman<\/p>\n Subs: Rossi, Sportiello, Musah, Sulemana, Pasalic, Scamacca, Samardzic, Bellanova, Brescianini, Zalewski, Ahanor, Maldini<\/p>\n Slavia Prague: Markovic, Boril, Vlcek, Zima, Mbodji, Moses, Zafeiris, Dorley, Kusej, Chory, Provod<\/p>\n Subs: Stanek, Rezek, Chaloupek, Cham, Hashioka, Sanyang, Chytil, Sadilek, Prekop, Jelinek, Sloncik, Kovar<\/p>\n Share<\/a>Chelsea v Ajax teams<\/p>\n Chelsea: J\u00f8rgensen, Caicedo, Fofana, Adarabioyo, Hato, Fern\u00e1ndez, Lavia, Buonanotte, Est\u00eav\u00e3o, Gittens, Guiu<\/p>\n Subs: S\u00e1nchez, Merrick, Cucurella, Pedro Neto, Santos, Chalobah, James, George, Acheampong, Walsh, Garnacho, Kavuma-McQueen<\/p>\n Ajax: Pasveer, Rosa, Itakura, Sutalo, Baas, McConnell, Gloukh, Taylor, Moro, Weghorst, Godts<\/p>\n Subs: Jaros, Heerkens, Gaaei, Regeer, Edvardsen, Klaassen, Konadu, Mokio, Fitz-Jim, Alders, Bounida<\/p>\n Share<\/a>Monaco v Tottenham teams<\/p>\n Monaco: Kohn, Kehrer, Salisu, Henrique, Diatta, Teze, Coulibaly, Ouattara, Akliouche, Fati, Balogun<\/p>\n Subs: Cabral, Bamba, Michal, Ilenikhena, Minamino, Idumbo, Biereth, Mawissa, Stawiecki , Lienard, Golovin<\/p>\n Tottenham: Vicario, Porro, Gray, Danso, Van de Ven, Bentancur, Jo\u00e3o Palhinha, Bergvall, Odobert, Richarlison, Kudus<\/p>\n Subs: Byfield, Williams-Barnett, Olusesi, Scarlett, Muani, Kinsky, Austin, Simons, Johnson, Spence, Sarr<\/p>\n Share<\/a>Bayern Munich v Club Brugge teams<\/p>\n Bayern Munich: Neuer, Laimer, Upamecano, Tah, Guerreiro, Kimmich, Pavlovic, Karl, Olise, D\u00edaz, Kane<\/p>\n Subs: Ulreich, Urbig, Kim, Goretzka, Jackson, Bischof, Boey, Mike, Manuba<\/p>\n Club Brugge: Jackers, Sabbe, Ordo\u00f1ez, Mechele, Meijer, Stankovic, Forbs, Audoor, Vanaken, Tzolis, Tresoldi<\/p>\n Subs: Van den Heuvel, Romero, Vetlesen, Sandra, Vermant, Nilsson, Siquet, Spileers, Seys, Diakhon, Campbell, Furo<\/p>\n Share<\/a>Real Madrid v Juventus teams<\/p>\n Real Madrid: Courtois, Valverde, Asencio, \u00c9der Milit\u00e3o, Carreras, Tchouam\u00e9ni, G\u00fcler, Diaz, Bellingham, Mbapp\u00e9, Vinicius J\u00fanior<\/p>\n Subs: Pitarch, Mastantuono, Mendy, Fran Garcia, Gonzalo, Rodrygo, Endrick, Camavinga, Gonz\u00e1lez, Lunin<\/p>\n Juventus: Di Gregorio, Gatti, Rugani, Kelly, Kalulu, McKennie, Thuram, Cambiaso, Koopmeiners, Vlahovic, Yildiz<\/p>\n Subs: David, Jo\u00e3o M\u00e1rio, Miretti, Openda, Kostic, Adzic, Zhegrova, Francisco Concei\u00e7\u00e3o, Locatelli, Fuscaldo, Perin<\/p>\n Share<\/a>Sporting v Marseille teams<\/p>\n Sporting: Rui Silva, Fresneda, Debast, In\u00e1cio, Ara\u00fajo, Hjulmand, Sim\u00f5es, Quenda, Trinc\u00e3o, Goncalves, Su\u00e1rez<\/p>\n Subs: Jo\u00e3o Virg\u00ednia, Reis, Morita, Catamo, Vagiannidis, Kochorashvili, Diomande, Santos, Ribeiro, Quaresma, Ioannidis, Mangas<\/p>\n Marseille: Rulli, Pavard, Aguerd, Balerdi, Emerson, Vermeeren, H\u00f8jbjerg, Igor Paix\u00e3o, Greenwood, Aubameyang, Weah<\/p>\n Subs: De Lange, Van Neck, Egan-Riley, Garcia, Gomes, O\u2019Riley, Nadir, Vaz, Murillo<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Elsewhere, can Liverpool make it five in a row?<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Two games are already underway and halfway through. Athletic Bilbao are one-all with Qarabag, while Galatasaray are 2-0 up against Bodo\/Glimt thanks to a Victor Osimhen brace. The second was comical, with Osimhen getting in the way of a backpass to set up a simple one-on-one with the keeper.<\/p>\n Share<\/a>Preamble<\/p>\n GOALS! REDS! PENS! Tuesday night was hectic in the Champions League, with 43 (!) goals across nine games (Yara deserves a raise)<\/a>. Here\u2019s to more tonight, even if my fingers are left unusable for the next fortnight.<\/p>\n We\u2019ve got some juicy fixtures: Real Madrid v Juventus is the heritage pick, while it\u2019s the Eric Dier derby with Spurs\u2019 visit to Monaco (even if he\u2019s injured). Chelsea host Ajax, while Harry Kane\u2019s Bayern Munich welcome Club Brugge. Keep me company for the 44 goals to be scored this evening, with my eyeballs ready to explode as I juggle various screens. Let\u2019s play!<\/p>\n
