Nothing much to report from Valencia's game in Malaga. Chory Castro had a chance for the hosts early on but he missed.

Alexander Hack - a phenomenal name for a defender - comes forward for a Mainz free-kick but he heads wide of Manuel Neuer's goal.

Bayern Munich winger Franck Ribery starts a Bundesliga game for the first time in over a year following injury. It's a full-strength team, despite a game against second-placed Borussia Dortmund on Saturday.

Bayern Munich: Neuer, Benatia, Rafinha, Bernat, Alaba, Vidal, Thiago, Coman, Robben, Ribery, Lewandowski.

Mainz: Karius, Donati, Bungert, Balogun, Hack, Bussman, Baumgartlinger, Frei, Clemens, Jairo, Malli.

Malaga: Kameni, Rosales, Albentosa, Filipenko, Torres, Juanpi, Recio, Camacho, Chory, Charles, Cop.

Valencia: Alves, Barragan, Mustafi, Santos, Gaya, Javi Fuego, Andre Gomes, Parejo, Feghouli, Cheryshev, Alcacer.

Things were starting to look up for Valencia boss Gary Neville. After it took Los Che 10 La Liga games to win under him, they went on to win four in a row in all competitions.

So last Sunday when they were hosting Athletic Bilbao and level after 72 minutes they must have been hopeful of a late winner. Unfortunately for them the Basques scored three times - and a 3-0 defeat leaves Valencia in the bottom half.

Bayern Munich are eight points clear at the top of the Bundesliga as they chase a fourth consecutive title.

Bayern have won their last seven games against Mainz, who are exceeding expectations this season and sit fifth - only out of the Champions League places on goal difference.

“Mainz don’t only defend near their own box,” said Bayern boss Pep Guardiola. “They have dynamic players with lots of quality up front. It's going to be an interesting match.”  

There are seven Bundesliga games on at the moment, with second-placed Dortmund - Bayern's next opponents - away to Darmstadt.

There's a load of action across Europe I'll be trying to keep you up to date with tonight. In fact the last time I tried to keep across this many continental matches, Robert Lewandowski scored five goals in nine minutes...

The five we'll be covering tonight:

Bayern Munich v Mainz (19:00 GMT)

Malaga v Valencia (19:00 GMT)

Inter Milan v Juventus (19:45 GMT)

Levante v Real Madrid (20:00 GMT)

St Etienne v Paris St-Germain (20:05 GMT)

And of course, with Real Madrid being Real Madrid, there's always some bonus headlines coming from any defeat.

"If we were all at my level maybe we would be leaders. 

"I like to play with Karim, with Bale, with Marcelo.

"I'm not saying the others like Lucas Vazquez, Jese and Mateo Kovacic are not good players - they are very good players - but it's not the same."

Cristiano Ronaldo wasn't a happy man after their 1-0 defeat by Atletico Madrid. He later claimed he was talking about fitness rather than ability if you believe that.

Spanish La Liga

Real Madrid's last game ended in derby despair which practically ended their title hopes.

Zinedine Zidane's side are now 12 points off leaders Barcelona after losing 1-0 to Atletico, who are also seven points above them.

And Zidane, who was only hired in January, admits nothing is certain.

"I don't know what will happen in three months," he said.

"At the end of the season there may or may not be changes, but we're only thinking about giving our best and we have the obligations to do so for our fans."
