    Real Madrid had lost their previous two La Liga games but a Cristiano Ronaldo hat-trick and Gareth Bale's brace helped them thrash Deportivo La Coruna 8-2 away from home.

    Portugal forward Ronaldo struck either side of James Rodriguez's stunning goal to put Real 3-0 up half-time.

    Haris Medunjanin scored a penalty for Deportivo six minutes into the second half before Bale scored twice.

    Ronaldo then completed this hat-trick, and there was still time for Deportivo's Jose Verdu Toche to score before Javier Hernandez's late double.

    But there's more than one big game in Europe and we start in Spain where reigning champions Atletico Madrid can go top of La Liga for the first time if they see off Celta Vigo.

    Kick-off is just a few moments away and if it's anything as dramatic as Real Madrid's game earlier then we're in for a belter.

  7. What's the story?published at 18:52 British Summer Time 20 September 2014

    Just to add more intrigue to the occasion, Massimiliano Allegri's former club AC Milan are top of the table.

    But the ex-Cagliari boss knows his Juventus side will replace them at the summit with victory.

    It's all pointing to a cracking night at the San Siro.

  8. Serie A soap operapublished at 18:50 British Summer Time 20 September 2014

    Italy's Serie A campaign is only two games old but this is already a top-versus-second encounter with a sub-plot that would give the Eastenders scriptwriters a run for their money.

    Massimiliano Allegri certainly won't get lost in the corridors of the San Siro having spent four years in charge of Milan. His reign got off to a glorious start by sealing the club's 18th title in May 2011. But two seasons without silverware left him under pressure.

    He was given his marching orders last January yet returns in charge of the defending champions after being appointed to replace Antonio Conte, now in charge of Italy's national team.

    You couldn't make it up...

    But the silverware dried up and Massimiliano Allegri was given the bullet.

    Eight months after his dismissal, Allegri returns to the home of his former employer in charge of defending champions Juventus.

    Victory for the Old Lady and they pull clear at the top of table. Is this the night Allegri gets revenge for his sacking?
