    In Germany, former Manchester United midfielder Shinji Kagawa scored on his Borussia Dortmund return as the Germans warmed up for Tuesday's Champions League visit of Arsenal with a 3-1 win over Freiburg.

    Bayern Munich were also victorious with a comfortable 2-0 win at home to Stuttgart, with goals from Mario Gotze and Franck Ribery.

    Manchester City next for Bayern and Arsenal for Dortmund in the Champions League.

  3. Neymar at the doublepublished at 18:05 British Summer Time 13 September 2014

    Neymar came off the bench to score twice as Barcelona defeated a stubborn Athletic Bilbao 2-0 to maintain their 100% start to La Liga season.

    Barca are looking ominous at this early stage and both Madrid sides will be wary of letting them get away from them.

  4. Elsewhere in Europepublished at 18:03 British Summer Time 13 September 2014

    While it may be an evening for enjoying some tapas and sangria, don't think we will only be stationed in Espana this evening.

    Former England and Chelsea defender Ashley Cole's Roma are leading 1-0 at Empoli in Serie A, while defending champions Juventus entertain Udinese later.

    We will keep you across all the action.

    But first here is a round-up of what has already happened in Europe……

  7. Real splashing the cashpublished at 17:50 British Summer Time 13 September 2014

    Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti has invested heavily this summer to further improve the attacking prowess of his side, with the big-money signings of Toni Kroos and James Rodriguez.

    Mexico's Javier Hernandez has also signed on loan from Manchester United.

    Add that to the likes of Portugal's Cristiano Ronaldo and Wales' Gareth Bale and can there be a more potent attack in Europe?

    I guess Barcelona and Luis Suarez, Lionel Messi and Neymar might argue there is.

  8. A busy summer for Atleticopublished at 17:45 British Summer Time 13 September 2014

    Don't rule out Atletico though. They have already beaten Real to the Spanish Supercup this season and haven't been quiet in the transfer market themselves.

    At £24m France winger Antoine Griezmann became their second most expensive player ever after Radamel Falcao when he joined from Real Sociedad.

    Mario Mandzukic cost in the region of £17m from Bayern Munich, while Jan Oblak, Raúl Jiménez, Guilherme Siqueira, Correa, Miguel Ángel Moyà, and Jesús Gómez have also arrived for significant sums of money.

    Having spent somewhere close to £100m this summer, Atletico aren't too far behind Real's total transfer spend. Some believe their shift in transfer policy has made them even stronger.

  9. Will Atletico count the Costa?published at 17:42 British Summer Time 13 September 2014

    Atletico boss Diego Simeone has already downplayed his side's chances of defending their league title for the first time in more than 60 years. And, on first glance it is easy to see why.

    Financially, Spain's traditional big two are on a different planet with Atletico having to battle against a circa 400m euro budget deficit.

    Also, almost inevitably, there has been a player exodus from the Vicente Calderon. Of the 11 players who started Atletico's final league game of last season, five have left, including goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois and top scorer Diego Costa.

    Meanwhile Barca and Real have brought in Luis Suárez and James Rodríguez respectively, for upwards of £75m apiece. Can Simeone & co scale another mountain?

  10. Real's point to provepublished at 17:37 British Summer Time 13 September 2014

    Good evening and welcome to our latest European football live text offering and what a humdinger of a match we have for you.

    For too long, the Madrid derby was a virtual non event as Real dominated their city neighbours. Not any more though with Atletico arriving at the Bernebeu this evening the kings of La Liga.

    Anyone feel Real have got a point to prove?

  11. Atletico's year to rememberpublished at 17:34 British Summer Time 13 September 2014

    Atletico's incredible past 12 months has seen them break Barcelona and Real Madrid's 10-year duopoly by winning the La Liga title for the first time since 1996.

    It also brought them a Champions League final and - from just a few weeks ago - the Spanish Supercup.

    Not that they had it all their own way though as bitter rivals Real stole the final bragging rights last season with Champions League victory.

    Cast your mind back to 28 September last year.

    It was Gareth Bale's home debut after signing for Real Madrid for a then world record £85m fee as Atletico travelled to the Bernabeu looking for a first win over their city rivals for 24 league matches.

    Ninety minutes later, Diego Simeone's men were playing the role of party poopers as they buried a 14-year-old curse.

    The party for Los Rojiblancos has been going on almost ever since.
