Liverpool 1-0 Real Madrid
Ridiculous to think this Liverpool side lost four Premier League games on the spin with how they've played tonight.

Tottenham 4-0 Copenhagen
Spurs absolutely running riot here. Brennan Johnson's sending off suddenly feels completely irrelevant.
Randal Kolo Muani almost makes it three goals in five minutes but Dominik Kotarski smothers.

Here comes Rodrygo. He replaces Eduardo Camavinga in an attacking change for Real.
A new goal of the season?published at 21:27 GMT
Tottenham 4-0 Copenhagen
Michael Emons
BBC Sport at Tottenham Hotspur StadiumWhen Richarlison scored a sensational scissor kick against Burnley on the opening weekend, Spurs boss Thomas Frank said it was going to be the goal of the season.
He may be changing his mind after a truly incredible run from centre-half Micky van de Ven, who started from inside his own half and kept going, and going before providing a finish any centre-forward would have been proud of.
That's what the Tottenham fans want to see. Truly sensational goal.
And another goal soon after. Spurs supporters in dreamland. Four-nil up, and a man down, in the Champions League.

A change is being readied on the Real bench but it's not Trent Alexander-Arnold, it's Rodrygo.

Paris St-Germain 0-2 Bayern Munich
Harry Kane looks in some serious discomfort with his foot after coming away from a tussle with Nuno Mendes.
There is no clear contact between the two players and Kane's reaction is delayed as he limps awkwardly away and grimaces.
One to keep an eye on.

Still no sign of Trent Alexander-Arnold.

GOAL - Tottenham 4-0 Copenhagenpublished at 21:24 GMT
Joao Palhinha
It's bedlam at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium!
Another superb goal. Joao Palhinha picks up the ball from Cristian Romero and crashes home just moments after Micky van de Ven had the ball in the back of the net.
VAR had a quick look at that for a potential offside but it's checked and cleared fairly quickly.
Tottenham absolutely all over Copenhagen.

Curtis Davies
Former Premier League defender on BBC Radio 5 Live at Tottenham Hotspur StadiumMicky we have seen him do it so many times. He drove past one and he drove past another and then once he got the steam, there is no stopping him. He slots in into the bottom corner like an accomplished striker.

Stephen Warnock
Former Liverpool defender on BBC Radio 5 Live at AnfieldAnfield absolutely erupts. Madrid have been on the ropes. Dominik Szoboszlai doesn't fizz it in too hard, he allows Alexis Mac Allister to use the pace on the ball to glance the header.
It is fully-deserved by Liverpool. They have been tenacious in every challenge, they have been progressive with the way they have passed forward.

GOAL - Tottenham 3-0 Copenhagenpublished at 21:22 GMT
Micky van de Ven (64 mins)
Well that is some goal. My word.
Micky van de Ven charges through Copenhagen - through the middle of the park, breezes past the defence, slight look up and unleashes into the back of the net.
Goodness me. From a centre half! Men against boys, that.

Match Facts
Liverpool and Real Madrid have faced each other on 12 previous occasions in the European Cup/UEFA Champions League. After winning the first three between 1981 and 2009, Liverpool have only won one of the last nine (D1 L7).
This will be the eighth time that Liverpool and Real Madrid have met in the UEFA Champions League since the start of the 2017-18 season, with the Spanish side winning five of the previous seven (D1 L1). Including all MD4 games this season, only two fixtures will have been played more often in the competition in this period: Manchester City v Real Madrid (10) and Paris SG v Bayern Munich (9).
All four of Liverpool’s wins over Real Madrid in the European Cup/UEFA Champions League have been to nil, including the most recent one in November 2024 (2-0 at Anfield). Only Juventus (5) have won and kept a clean sheet against Real Madrid across the two competitions on more occasions.
Liverpool have won 20 of their last 22 home UEFA Champions League group stage games (D1 L1), including each of their last 12 in a row. However, three of their seven home group defeats have come versus Spanish sides (one each vs Barcelona, Valencia and Real Madrid).
Real Madrid have won their first three UEFA Champions League matches this season – on two of the previous four occasions they’ve started with four consecutive wins, they’ve lifted the trophy (2001-02 and 2023-24), reaching the semi-finals in the other two (2011-12 and 2014-15).
Real Madrid have had the most shots on target in the UEFA Champions League this season (37), having 10+ in all three games (15 v Marseille, 12 v Kairat, 10 v Juventus). Since 2003-04, the only team to do so in four in a row are Madrid themselves in the 2013-14 campaign, though Liverpool have only faced 10+ shots on target twice since 2003-04, and never at Anfield.
Arne Slot has won 10 of his 13 UEFA Champions League matches as Liverpool manager (L3), with only Hansi Flick at Bayern Munich (10), Luis Enrique at Barcelona (11) and Carlo Ancelotti at Real Madrid (12) reaching 10 wins in fewer games with a club. Slot at Liverpool is the fastest any manager has won 10 games with an English club, however.
Of the 10 players with 50+ goals in European Cup/UEFA Champions League history, Real Madrid forward Kylian Mbappé has the highest percentage scored in away matches (53% - 32/60). The Frenchman netted a hat-trick in his previous away game in the competition (v Kairat on MD2), and now has the joint-most away hat-tricks of any player in European Cup/Champions League history (3 – level with Filippo Inzaghi).
This game could be Real Madrid midfielder Jude Bellingham’s 50th UEFA Champions League appearance, reaching that total aged just 22 years and 128 days – the youngest of any player in the competition’s history. The current youngest is Iker Casillas, who hit 50 games aged 22 years and 155 days, just 115 days after Bellingham was born in 2003.
Real Madrid defender Trent Alexander-Arnold could become just the second Englishman to play against Liverpool in the European Cup having previously played for them in the competition, after Nottingham Forest’s Larry Lloyd in September 1978 (played both games against Liverpool in the first round in 1978-79).
