Stephen Warnock
Ex-Liverpool defender on BBC Radio 5 Live

When you're a manger the challenge is keeping the squad happy and keeping the balance in the squad. Jurgen Klopp has done that well, he was challenged in the summer with Dejan Lovren who decided he wanted to go and play football and Jurgen Klopp appreciated that. He said, 'I understand that and if we get the right fee for you then I will allow you to go because I am happy with the players in my squad.'

If he really wanted to buy a centre half he would've said to Dejan Lovren, you can go but only when I get a replacement in.

Joel Matip, Joe Gomez and Fabinho are more than capable of holding the fort for Liverpool and Jurgen Klopp has a lot of faith in them.

Aguero had only just joined City a few weeks before that Napoli game, but had already opened his account. He has not stopped scoring since, and now has a club record 254 goals in 371 games, including 34 in the Champions League.

He returned from injury to make his first appearance of the current campaign against Arsenal on Saturday - he is shown above celebrating Raheem Sterling's winner.

Could he score his first goal of the 2020-21 season tonight?

This is the start of Manchester City’s 10th attempt to win the Champions League, but only one of their current players has been there since the beginning.

Following David Silva’s departure at the end of last season, Sergio Aguero is the last man left at the club who lined up here for a 1-1 draw against Napoli in September 2011 in City's first ever CL match.

Aguero starts tonight, too.

Penny for Zinedine Zidane's thoughts? That result certainly wasn't part of the script.

Ajax and Liverpool are meeting for the first time since the 1966-67 European Cup, where the Dutch side eliminated the Reds with a 7-3 aggregate victory in the Last 16.

Since losing 5-1 against Ajax in December 1966, Liverpool have gone unbeaten in their 13 games against Dutch opponents in European competition (W8 D5).

In the other early game tonight, Salzburg drew 2-2 Lokomotiv Moscow with the hosts twice coming back to equalise.

What a start to the night's Champions League action!

There's not much time to pause for breath with the remaining games kicking off in just over 10 minutes.

All over! What a game and what a result for Shakhtar.

Reprieve for Shakhtar!

The goal is ruled out. Vinicius Junior was adjudged offside when the shot came in and he was stood in front of the goalkeeper.

Real Madrid 3-3 Shakhtar Donetsk

Or have they...

VAR is having a look at a potential offside.

The referee is going to take a look at the pitchside montior.

Manor Solomon lands awkwardly after slipping when blocking a cross. He's hurt and replaced by Vitao for the final couple of minutes.

Shakhtar are so close...

Vinicius Junior uses his pace to get behind the full-back on the left but once again his low cross is stabbed away.

The 90 minutes are up and there will be three minutes of stoppage time.

A late, desperate challenge by Eder Militao as he tries to prevent Shakhtar from breaking is punished with a yellow card.

Not long left now, even a draw would be a fantastic result for the visitors but they've got this far and will want the win.

There's a break in play with Dentinho down injured. It's been a heck of shift by every Shakhtar player but the forward cannot continue and he is replaced by Heorhii Sudakov with four minutes left.

Another nervous moment in the Shakhtar defence as a ball into the box appears to hit Dodo's arm. Marcelo is screaming for a penalty but nothing is given.

Excellent from Dodo as he reads the run of Karim Benzema and cuts out Marcelo's attempted pass.

Valeriy Bondar is then booked, presumably for timewasting.

Seven minutes left for the visitors to hold on.

A brief moment of elation for the visitors as they break quickly and Marlos flicks into the net from close range but the goal is ruled out with Tete having been offside when he started the counter.

Ferland Mendy's downward header at the far post is deflected behind for a Real Madrid corner. Mendy wants a penalty but nothing given.
