    PSG 1-0 Atalanta

    Charles De Ketelaere wriggles free on the edge of the box before slipping it to Mario Pasalic just inside the box. Neither manage to get a shot off in what is a real missed opportunity.

    Atletico are having a better spell now, but Liverpool are still defending relatively easily.

    Liverpool 2-0 Atletico Madrid

    Alexander Isak goes in where it hurts to set up a chance for Mo Salah who fires straight at the keeper.

    But Isak has remained on the ground. Robin Le Normand is booked for the late challenge on Liverpool's new signing.

    Cole Palmer is like Sachin Tendulkar for the Indian cricket team in the 90s. He has been carrying Chelsea on his cool shoulders for the last two years.

  7. YELLOW CARDpublished at 20:31 BST 17 September

    Bayern Munich 2-1 Chelsea

    Bayern defender Jonathan Tah and Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca are both booked.

    Tah fouled Joao Pedro off the ball in the build-up to that goal - and the Blues boss wasn't happy.

    Joao Pedro gets some treatment but he's OK.

    Cole Palmer gets it in his own half, drives, drags three players towards him, little reverse ball, and his finish... He makes that look stunningly easy.

    Most players would take a touch there, but not Palmer. Ping, top corner, what a goal.

    PSG 1-0 Atalanta

    I'm a big fan how you often see PSG left-back Nuno Mendes the furthest forward for the French champions. It's like he's a striker at times!

    What a player.

    Very soft penalty, Harry Kane has made a career out of getting them. It's not honest, but it's smart when done right

    Our mates at Opta have provided us with this stat...

    Alexander Isak's first touch in a Liverpool shirt was in the 10th minute of this match, by which time Mohamed Salah had already scored and assisted.

    Chelsea back in this.

    Cole Palmer runs from his own half and plays a one-two with Malo Gusto before sidefooting a nice effort past Manuel Neuer from 12 yards out.

    Fantastic penalty. Real power, down low and sends the keeper the wrong way. Suddenly from nowhere Kane makes it 2-0.

    On the penalty award

    That is very strange. It looked like a penalty, but he didn't give it right away. He has let the play go on as if to wait for VAR and then he makes the call.

    Boy did Olise make a smart move with Bayern. He fits their system like a glove. Great player.

    Atalanta are starting to play a bit now as the ball is hooked into the box and Mario Pasalic heads over.

    Half a chance for the Italian side to level.

    Instead of dropping Ekitike it should be Wirtz on the bench. He has looked clueless since the start of the season.

    Another replay of Mo Salah's goal...a one-two with Ryan Gravenberch and then the composure before finding the net. Vintage Salah.
