    Bayern Munich 3-1 Chelsea

    Chelsea defender Trevoh Chalobah has a shoulder problem. The physios are on and they're getting a sub ready.

    Possession-wise, Atletico have done well in the second half but they still don't really have enough men in the box when they come forward.

    Liverpool are very compact centrally to stop Atletico playing through them and are relying on counter-attacks, but they still look dangerous.

    You can hear more from Osman on MOTD: Uefa Champions League at 22:40 BST on BBC One and the BBC Sport website and app.

  3. CLOSE!published at 21:37 BST

    Liverpool 2-1 Atletico Madrid

    That's sooooo close!

    Marcos Llorente, who already has one goal, goes within a whisker of getting an equaliser with an attempt which takes a deflection.

    The Atletico bench want a penalty and the referee ends up showing a yellow card to one of the coaching staff.

    This Chelsea side is filled with players who's cost does not equate to their talent. And more importantly the Chelsea owners are more concerned with turning a player profit than building a team. And I doubt it'll change.

    Liverpool 2-1 Atletico Madrid

    Atletico Madrid are very much in this. Liverpool have everyone back defending before a lightning counter attack involving Mo Salah.

    It ends with the visitors just about clearing the danger before the home side can pounce.

    Enzo Fernandez's free-kick cross is deflected high into the air and Cole Palmer doesn't get his volley right at all, well wide.

    Just imagine what the score would be if Bayern had taken all their chances!

    It's utter domination from Bayern. They do look like when they want to step up, they can.

    Chelsea have some good players and if they can sneak a chance now and then, then they may be able to make the last 20 minutes interesting.

    To be honest though, it doesn't look much like happening does it?

    Chelsea have only had one shot in the second half so far and it wasn't a great one.

    By the way, Ibrahima Konate had completed all of his 50 passes.

    Substitute Conor Bradley has just been booked for a foul.

    Since the start of 2024-25 no player has scored more goals in the Champions League than Harry Kane (13, level with Raphinha and Serhou Guirassy).

    The stewards are given a bit of a run out on the pitch as a fan decides to go for a jog.

    He didn't last too long and play is back under way.

    Bayern Munich have stepped it up haven't they? There is a real swagger about their play now. Everyone wants to get on the ball. Chelsea have no idea what to do.

    That last attack when Salah hit the post was a bit more like it from Liverpool, with Florian Wirtz coming in off the left and Dominik Szoboszlai powering through the middle.

    Now Hugo Ekitike gets it all wrong after he attempts to lift the ball over the keeper and into the net. Suddenly, this game is very open - and very much in the balance.

    That 3rd Bayern goal has been coming. Not really threatened Bayern this 2nd half and getting punished for our mistakes. Those are the fine margins at this level and that next step for this young Chelsea team.

    Quite scary to think this is a PSG side missing two of their main danger men in Desire Doue and Ousmane Dembele.
