  1. Marcus Rashford? It had to bepublished at 21:24 BST 18 September

    Marcus Rashford? It had to be on his return to England. Rashford has now been directly involved in nine goals in a dozen career starts against Newcastle.

    Newcastle need a response and Eddie Howe has emptied his bench to try and get back into this game.

    Newcastle 0-1 Barcelona

    Marcus Rashford is only the second Englishman to score on his Champions League debut for a non-English club against a Premier League team.

    Harry Kane for Bayern Munich is the only other, against Manchester United in September 2023.

    Man City 1-0 Napoli

    Would Manchester City be leading if Napoli had 11 players on the pitch?

    It is difficult to see the Italian champions getting back into this.

    They frustrated City for so long but Erling Haaland's goal has completely changed the mood inside the ground.

    I'm expecting Newcastle to defend that so much better.

    Jules Kounde goes round the outside and puts it in. He jus swings his left foot and Rashford comes from the edge of the box and glances it past the keeper. The keeper has no chance.

    It was far too simple.

    Newcastle really need to not concede another here. Marcus Rashford picks out Fermin Lopez, whose effort is deflected wide by Fabian Schar.

    This guy just waits for opportunities. It's a great little flick from Phil Foden.

    Erling Haaland knows where the goal is. He dinks it over the goalkeeper, so calm and collected.

    Deadlock finally broken.

    And of course, it had to be Erling Haaland.

    The Norwegian continues his incredible goalscoring record, netting his 50th Champions League goal in just 49 games.

    He is the quickest player to reach that milestone.

    Marcus Rashford (58 mins)

    Marcus Rashford scores on his return to England. His first goal for Barcelona.

    The forward, on loan from Manchester United, powers in a header from Jules Kounde's cross.

    Fabian Schar couldn't get close enough to him.

    Erling Haaland

    And there it is...

    Erling Haaland becomes the quickest player in Champions League history to hit 50 goals in the competition in what is his 49th appearance.

    It's a lovely header over the goalkeeper after a great pass from Phil Foden.

    As the ball hits the back of the net, you can hear the relief all around the Etihad.

    Sandro Tonali tried to strike that into the top corner but he hit it too straight, too cleanly right at the keeper.

    Man City 0-0 Napoli

    We've just seen Pep Guardiola gesture to City fans to turn up the volume. Meanwhile, Napoli have sent on Juan Jesus for Matteo Politano, who was booked a few minutes earlier.

    Toon midfielder Sandro Tonali's effort from 20 yards out is easily saved by Joan Garcia.

    This will be one of the greatest points in Napoli's history if they stop City from scoring. Antonio Conte's side are putting on a defensive masterclass as it stands.

    Fabian Schar is OK. He's just waiting 30 seconds until he's allowed to be back on because of rules.

    Barcelona attack. Robert Lewandowski is tackled by Tino Livramento and Marcus Rashford takes a powerful shot which hits the head of Fabian Schar and goes out for a corner. Schar needs treatment.
