Well that wasn't a bad start, was it?

Tottenham returned to the Champions League with a narrow 1-0 win at home to Spanish side Villarreal.

They continued a winning start for Premier League clubs in Europe's top club competition, following on from Arsenal's impressive 2-0 victory over Athletic Club in Bilbao.

Reaction to both those games is coming up, before we start to look ahead to the rest of this week's Champions League ties.

Chelsea and Liverpool are next up this evening, and we will also bring you the news conferences from Manchester City and Newcastle before their games on Thursday.

Yes, Thursday!
