Girona 1-2 Arsenal
That would have been Cristhian Stuani's first European goal. At the age of 38, and with this their last European game this season, this might have been his final chance.
DISALLOWED GOALpublished at 21:36 Greenwich Mean Time 29 January
Girona 1-2 Arsenal
Cristhian Stuani finished off Portu's cross well but it's ruled out by the VAR for offside.

Arne not taking the PSV game seriously tonight. Such a shame as we had so much momentum going. Needs to buy a defender before Friday!

'Savinho has changed the game'published at 21:35 Greenwich Mean Time 29 January
Man City 3-1 Club Brugge
Izzy Christiansen
Former England midfielder on BBC Radio 5 LiveSavinho has changed the game. He had a half time assignment, to sort this out. That's exactly what he's done.
He was involved in the second goal and he has just scored the third goal. John Stones played a wonderful cross field ball into him and he chests it down to smash it beyond Simon Mignolet.

He’s scored, missed a sitter, and fallen over trying to take a penalty. Arsenal scouts will be very confused by Watkins tonight.

Aston Villa 3-2 Celtic
Celtic are inches away from being level. Reo Hatate's fantastic shot from outside the box flies just wide - with Emiliano Martinez concerned.
That was their first shot since Adam Idah's second goal!
Barcelona back to the toppublished at 21:33 Greenwich Mean Time 29 January

Ronald Araujo is unmarked at the back post and heads in. The Spanish giants are heading top of the table once more.

GOAL - Man City 3-1 Club Bruggepublished at 21:33 Greenwich Mean Time 29 January
Savinho (77 mins)
Well Savinho has made a real difference since coming on and he marks it with his first Champions League goal.
It's a glorious ball from John Stones from the right-hand side to find the Brazilian out on the left.
He takes a lovely first touch and connects sweetly to find the corner.
But...Is it enough?!

Villa captain John McGinn does well to stop Adam Idah running through on goal for a potential hat-trick chance.

Man City 2-1 Club Brugge
Izzy Christiansen
Former England midfielder on BBC Radio 5 LiveWow. Great press by Erling Haaland, pickpockets the defender and nine times out of ten he scores. Savinho runs onto the rebound but it is a wonderful clearance from Brandon Mechele on the line.

Man City 2-1 Club Brugge
Erling Haaland uses his strength one v one and shoots but his effort is parried away. It falls into the path of Savinho who has a go himself but Brandon Mechele makes a crucial block to prevent it finding the back of the net.

Aston Villa 3-2 Celtic
Nick Mashiter
BBC Sport football news reporter at Villa ParkAn eventful night for Ollie Watkins but he has not been fazed, an assist, a goal and now a missed penalty. He is a player whose level-headed personality and focus has allowed him to play a huge part in this game, despite all the talk about his future.

Girona 1-2 Arsenal
Raheem Sterling says he's fouled and wants a penalty - but the ref says he did the foul and books him instead.
Champions League highlights: Barcelona 2-2 Atalanta
Barcelona missed the chance to finish top of the league phase of the Champions League as they drew with Atalanta, who dropped into the play-off round.
With a much-changed Liverpool losing 3-2 to PSV Eindhoven, already-qualified Barca would have taken top spot with a victory.
After a goalless first half, Lamine Yamal converted from Raphinha's cross from the left to put Barca ahead two minutes into the second half, only for a great strike from Ederson to pull the Italians level.
Ronald Araujo's diving header restored Barca's lead in the 72nd minute, but Atalanta again fought back with Mario Pasalic prodding the ball past Wojciech Szczesny to make it 2-2.
Atalanta started the day in seventh place, but this draw, along with wins for Lille and Aston Villa, dropped the Serie A side down to ninth.
That means they will play either Sporting or Club Brugge in the play-offs, with the second leg in Italy. The draw for the play-offs takes place at Uefa's headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland at 11:00 GMT on Friday, 31 January.
Barcelona, meanwhile, bypass the play-offs and jump straight into the last 16 of the competition.

Match Facts
Barcelona and Atalanta will meet for the very first time in a competitive fixture – the Italians will be the 159th different team Barca have faced in European competition, the most different opponents of any side.
Atalanta are winless in their last five UEFA Champions League games against Spanish opposition (D1 L4), since beating Valencia in both legs of their 2019-20 last 16 tie (4-1 home, 4-3 away).
Barcelona have won seven of their last eight home UEFA Champions League appearances (L1), scoring 25 goals. Their only defeat was against Paris SG in the quarter-final last season, losing 4-1.
Atalanta have won all three of their away UEFA Champions League games this season, one of two sides with a 100% record along with Liverpool. The Italian side have won 57% of their away matches in the competition (8/14), the best record of any side to play 10+ away games.
Barcelona manager Hans-Dieter Flick has won 10 of his 11 home UEFA Champions League games (W7 L1 with Bayern, W3 with Barca). He has both the best win percentage (91%) and best goals per game (3.1) of any manager with 10+ home games in the competition.
Atalanta have scored 2+ goals in each of their last six away UEFA Champions League games (W3 D2 L1) and average 2.4 goals per game in away matches in the competition, making them the only side to play 5+ games and average more than two goals per game on the road.
This game will see the two of the three sides with the highest xG totals in the UEFA Champions League facing off (19.7 for Atalanta, 18.7 for Bayern Munich, 18.4 for Barcelona). Indeed, Barcelona are the top scorers in the competition overall this term (26), while Atalanta currently rank third for most goals scored (18).
Raphinha has been directly involved in 17 goals in 19 appearances in the UEFA Champions League (11 goals and six assists). Among players with 1000+ minutes played for Barcelona in the competition, he currently has the best minutes per goal involvement ratio of any player for the club (79).
Atalanta’s Charles De Ketelaere has been directly involved in nine goals in the UEFA Champions League this season (four goals, five assists), fewer than only Raphinha in 2024-25 (10). Should he score here, he would become the first player to score 5+ goals and assist 5+ goals for an Italian side in a Champions League campaign since Samuel Eto'o for Internazionale in 2010-11.
Robert Lewandowski has scored 31 goals in his last 24 home UEFA Champions League appearances, netting in each of his last three for Barcelona. At the age of 36, he is the oldest player to score in three home appearances in a row.
