    Slovan Bratislava 0-2 Manchester City

    Erling Haaland can have a field day here. He has 41 Champions League goals and dribbles past two Slovan Bratislava defenders, only to be stopped by Dominik Takac's save at his feet. Brave keeping and Takac is going to have a very, very busy night.

    City steamrollering the home side.

  2. Inter lead against Red Starpublished at 20:18 British Summer Time 1 October

    The onus will be on Arsenal to go and press forward and take the game to PSG but you can't just leave yourself open. They have the likes of Vitinha and Joao Neves who want to be able to have that space to play through you. Arsenal are just being patient at the moment.

    Phil Foden

    So easy for Manchester City and they are cruising to the three points in Slovakia. Jeremy Doku has absolutely tormented the home defence, he passes it to Phil Foden, who takes a touch to set himself and curls a gorgeous strike into the bottom corner.

    Slovan Bratislava conceded five against Celtic, City will fancy their chances of beating that total tonight.

  5. Dortmund restore lead over Celticpublished at 20:14 British Summer Time 1 October

    Borussia Dortmund 2-1 Celtic

    Two more goals in two minutes in Dortmund. It's so open at the moment.

    Celtic grab a quick leveller after Daizen Maeda bundles in a fine Arne Engels cross.

    No time to celebrate though as Dortmund's Karim Adeyemi goes up the other end and fires a deflected shot into the net on the break.

    Ilkay Gundogan has scored his 12th goal on his 99th Champions League appearance and his first goal since March 2023 - for Manchester City in their 7-0 home win against RB Leipzig.

    Barcelona 1-0 Young Boys

    Robert Lewandowski has opened the scoring for Barcelona against Young Boys after eight minutes.

    Raphinha plays a lovely ball across the box and Lewandowski is lurking at the back post to tap home.

    The hosts are looking to bounce back from defeat against Monaco in their opening Champions League match.

    The fact Arsenal have got both Leandro Trossard and Kai Havertz up front is causing problems for the PSG centre halves. When one of them drops off the front line the defenders don't want to follow them in, and it led to that pass to Bukayo Saka for that curling shot over the bar.

    Meanwhile, Celtic have gone behind inside seven minutes with Borussia Dortmund's Emre Can converting from the penalty spot.

    Denmark keeper Kasper Schmeichel had brought down English forward Jamie Gittens in the penalty area and received a yellow card for his foul.

    PSG coach Luis Enrique is agitated in his technical area, gesturing to his players and also his backroom staff. He wants his team to get further up the pitch and not invite trouble by allowing Arsenal to build pressure.

    Arsenal having the better of these early exchanges, with manager Mikel Arteta getting the crowd involved.

    That's lovely by Bukayo Saka!

    He cuts inside and tries to curl one past Gianluigi Donnarumma. It drifts narrowly wide but Arsenal's build-up play was top-notch.

    They look like they're up for this.

    Ilkay Gundogan

    Ilkay Gunodgan, who has the captain's armband on tonight, gets his first goal for Manchester City since returning after a season at Barcelona.

    Jeremy Doku is heavily involved with a run down the right and Savinho's shot is only partially cleared, falling to Gundogan on the edge of the penalty area and his effort takes a deflection off the leg of Kyriakos Savvidis and in it goes.

    Great early signs from Bukayo Saka. He darted inside the PSG full-back Nuno Mendes as if he wasn't even there, took the ball and jinked inside him very easily. A very encouraging start for Arsenal.

    Almost an assist for David Raya!

    The Arsenal goalkeeper picks out Gabriel Martinelli who charges towards the PSG goal but Gianluigi Donnarumma clatters into his opponent before he can connect.

    Both players are down in a heap.

  17. CLOSE!published at 20:04 British Summer Time 1 October

    Slovan Bratislava 0-0 Manchester City

    Almost a dream start for City as Jeremy Doku looks to get free on the right wing, but the hosts manage to deflect it behind for a corner, which Ilkay Gundogan takes, but the hosts then counter at pace.

    Vladimir Weiss, whose career began at City and who is the son of the manager, leads the charge and slides it to Marko Tolic. His angled shot has Stefan Ortega panicking, but the low effort goes just wide.

    And it's a frantic start with Erling Haaland and then Phil Foden having chances for City, neither able to convert.

    Bukayo Saka glides past his man as though he is not there before finding Kai Havertz inside the penalty area. Havertz is offside much to PSG's relief. Positive start by the Gunners.
