    Dan Burn and Nick Woltemade are up front now. Tallest front line ever?

    Newcastle 0-2 Barcelona

    Marcus Rashford's goals killed this game for Newcastle. Obviously in terms of the scoreline but also the momentum and what have you. It was fairly even until then.

    Man City 2-0 Napoli

    Kevin de Bruyne's name echoes around the Etihad. There were times when it threatened to turn into a bitterly frustrating night for City.

    Not now. The points are in the bag.

    Three minutes plus stoppages left.

    It's been more than an hour since Napoli had a shot. And still their 2,700 travelling fans cheer them on.

    Enjoy it because you are some talent young man. When you play like you have done tonight you deserve the plaudits. Enjoy them and keep repeating them.

  7. Postpublished at 21:43 BST 18 September

    Man City 2-0 Napoli

    A night to remember for Erling Haaland, a night to forget for Kevin de Bruyne.

    After all the noise about De Bruyne's return, he was sacrificed in the 26th-minute after the red card.

    During his short time on the pitch, De Bruyne had nine touches and made eight passes.

    A penny for Ruben Amorin's thoughts watching Rashford tonight.

    Ben - Nottingham

    Marcus Rashford scores and is the best player tonight, makes you wonder if he was the problem at Man Utd or if the problem is Man Utd.

  9. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 21:42 BST 18 September

    Newcastle 0-2 Barcelona

    No hat-trick for Marcus Rashford. He's replaced by Dani Olmo. Also Eric Garcia replaces Gerard Martin.

  10. SUBSTITUTIONSpublished at 21:40 BST 18 September

    Man City 2-0 Napoli

    Manchester City have just sent on Rico Lewis, Nathan Ake and Oscar Bobb. Erling Haaland is one of those making way with 10 minutes of normal time left.

    Barca sub Ferran Torres goes down in the box. No penalty.

  12. Frankfurt score a fifthpublished at 21:39 BST 18 September

    Eintracht Frankfurt 5-1 Galatasaray

    Wowza! Who saw this one coming? Eintracht Frankfurt have hit a fifth against Galatasaray.

    Substitute Gabriel Sara won't want to see this one again as he loses the ball on the edge of his own area where Ansgar Knauff is gifted a chance, rounding the keeper before slotting home.

  13. Postpublished at 21:39 BST 18 September

    Newcastle 0-2 Barcelona

    Marcus Rashford set up a goal in Sunday's win over Valencia too with a brilliant cross for Raphinha.

    Dion Dublin
    Former Aston Villa striker on BBC Radio 5 Live at St. James' Park

    We've seen Marcus do this many times where we've seen little bits of it. Can he continue to do it? Tonight he's been outstanding, I've got to say. His goals have been brilliant too.

    Man City 2-0 Napoli

    This has descended into a training ground exercise - the players in light blue doing ALL the attacking; the players in black trying to stop them from scoring.

  16. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 21:36 BST 18 September

    Newcastle 0-2 Barcelona

    Sven Botman replaces Kieran Trippier.

    Manchester City after 75 minutes...

    23 attempts

    8 on target

    38 touches in the Napoli box

    2 goals...and they're on the hunt for more.

    Dion Dublin

    This Barcelona defence are looking a bit leggy and tired now. I believe if you get it forward they'll find it difficult against fresh legs.

  19. Postpublished at 21:36 BST 18 September

    Newcastle 0-2 Barcelona

    Marcus Rashford is the fifth player to score twice on his Champions League debut for Barcelona - the others are Txiki Begiristain (1993), Cristian Tello (2012), Robert Lewandowski (2022) and Joao Felix (2023).

    Magical, majestic Marcus!

    Marcus Rashford is the best left winger in the world, his ball striking ability is second to none.
