And action! We're under way at the Red Bull Arena.

LA Galaxy XI: Penedo, Gargan, Gonzalez, DeLaGarza, Rogers, Ishizaki, Husidic, Juninho, Zardes; Gordon, Jamieson.

New York Red Bulls were the team to beat when Thierry Henry and Tim Cahill were doing the business for them. But 37-year-old Henry has swapped his boots for the television studio and 35-year-old Cahill is now playing in the Chinese Super League for Shanghai Shenhua.

"They're definitely different without Henry," says Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena. "They don't have any Henrys on the field and neither do we. Henry is one of the great players in football. I don't care what age he was, he was still a tremendous player. They don't have those qualities, but they have a team that works real hard."

At least 10 Torino fans were injured when a paper banger exploded during the home derby against Juventus on Sunday. The missile was thrown from the Juventus end in the first half and caused splinters from seats to injure home supporters - a second explosive thrown later on hurt another fan.

Before the match, hundreds of Torino fans threw objects including bottles, eggs and stones at the Juve team bus. Torino won 2-1 to earn their first derby victory in 20 years.

French Ligue 1

Lyon return to the top of Ligue 1 after a 4-2 win away to Reims. Another title race that looks as though it is going down to the wire.

Italian Serie A

Rafael Benitez's Napoli have defeated Sampdoria 4-2, with Gonzalo Higuain scoring two and making one of the goals.

Real Madrid move to within two points of leaders Barcelona after a pulsating game. The La Liga title race rolls on...

Tempers boiling over in the closing stages. Toni Kroos is on the ground in pain after a challenge. Three minutes of added time.

They might be heading for defeat but credit for Celta Vigo. They have contributed to a thoroughly entertaining game and given Real a scare or two. Their next game? Malaga at home on Wednesday.

Is Carlo Ancelotti shutting up shop? Midfielder James Rodriguez is replaced by defender Alvaro Arbeloa.

Another Real change - striker Jese for Isco. Eight minutes or so for Real to get their 100th La Liga goal of the campaign.

Celta won't go quietly. More problems for the Real defence but Nolito is unable to get firm contact on a cross and a chance goes begging.

Real Madrid have scored four goals and Cristiano Ronaldo has not got one of them. They need one more to make it 100 for the season in La Liga. Will CR7 do the honours?

That goal has taken the wind out of Celta. The crowd has gone quiet. Real are around 15 minutes away from moving to within two points of leaders Barcelona.

Hernandez is not going to get his hat-trick. Real have a game against Almeria on Wednesday and 'Chicharito' is replaced by Pepe.

What a week for Javier Hernandez. The on-loan Manchester United signing destroyed Atletico Madrid's Champions League dream and now he's bagged another two against Celta. Penny for Louis van Gaal's thoughts right now.
