Sheriff 0-1 Partizan Belgrade
They shot the Sheriff!
Ricardo Gomes' deflected effort gives Partizan the lead in Moldova.
Juventus 1-0 Nantes
Juve were looking good early on against Nantes, but haven't pressed their early advantage.
Given the fragile feeling around the club at the moment, they could do with a good win here.
Not exactly raining goals so far - three across eight games so far.
Earlier, Ludogorets Razgrad took the lead against Anderlecht in the Conference League, while Juventus and Monaco still hold their advantages in the Europa League.
Sevilla 0-0 PSV
Sevilla close to an opener, an Ivan Rakitic free kick from deep evades everyone and flies just wide of the far post.
By the way, did you know Sevilla are only four points above the La Liga relegation zone? They're having an awful season domestically.
Lazio 0-0 Cluj
Lazio haven't been daunted by going down to 10 men early on, and are making most of the chances against Cluj.
Manager Maurizio Sarri watches on from the touchline. Chewing away on his cigarette butts, I expect.
Sporting Lisbon 0-0 Midtjylland
Interested to see Marcus Edwards in action again tonight. The English forward looked electric at times in the Champions League group stages.
He's had a quiet game from the looks of things so far.
Sheriff 0-0 Partizan Belgrade
The game between Sheriff and Partizan has been moved away from the home team's usual stadium in Tiraspol and no fans have been permitted due to safety concerns.
I don't know who made the decision on the new location, but I've seen smoother pitches in beach football. It's an awful playing surface.
Abdoul Tapsoba comes close for the hosts, cracking the crossbar with a header.
Sevilla 0-0 PSV
It's a nervy evening for the goalkeepers so far.
Sevilla midfielder Nemanja Gudelj sends a nasty backpass towards keeper Bono from some way out and with some power, sending the Moroccan stopper scrambling to cover his goal as the ball rolled out for a corner.
Bono, who you will remember from his World Cup heroics for Morocco, looked very unimpressed.
Lazio 0-0 Cluj
English referee Craig Pawson at the centre of the action in Rome, giving a straight red card to Lazio defender Patric after just 15 minutes.
The Spaniard chopped down a Cluj player when he was the last man, it looked the correct decision by Pawson.
Juventus 1-0 Nantes
You suspect a striker as good as Dusan Vlahovic will bag a few in the Europa League, and he's off the mark here.
Poor defending by Nantes, a simple ball over the top is knocked down by Federico Chiesa and Vlahovic tucks it away.
Leverkusen 0-1 Monaco
Yeah, it's an own goal by Hradecky. He claimed to be fouled by Embolo, but it has to go down as a terrible mistake.
One he won't want to watch again, but one you should really seek out on social media.
Leverkusen 0-1 Monaco
Our first goal of the 8pm matches has gone in, and it is a nightmare for Leverkusen keeper Lukas Hradecky.
The home skipper miscontrols on a backpass, Breel Embolo closes him down and manages to force the ball over the line.
It might even be an own goal for the Finnish keeper, who appears to have knocked the ball over his own line. Horrendous.
FT: Barcelona 2-2 Man Utd
Manchester United
Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag speaking to BT Sport: "I think we dictated the game, apart from maybe 15 minutes in the first half, we had some difficulties, but in the rest we were dictating the game and we had so many chances. I was a little bit disappointed that at half-time it was 0-0 because we should have scored and the opportunities they had we created by ourselves. But I think it was a great game. Two attacking teams. I think it was a Champions League game, even more than that, so I really enjoyed the game. In the end [it finished] 2-2, and we have to finish it in Old Trafford."
Coming back from behind: "We have a lot of character and determination in this team. The belief we had to score the first goal and the meaning of the first goal is so important and that's what we didn't do. Then we turn around when are down, and I also think the refereeing had a big influence in this game. I think it's a clear foul on Rashy. You can discuss if it's in our outside the box, but then it's a red card because he was one-on-one with the goalkeeper. It's a big influence, not only on this game but in this round, and referees can't make such mistakes."
On the performance: "Of course I will credit Rashford definitely because he is in great form, but the whole team did well. I think it was a really good team performance.
"It's not only about Wout [Weghorst], but he did well in that position. But it gives a lot of variation but also I want Jadon [Sancho] and Bruno [Fernandes] getting in the half-spaces and get them on the ball and also make runs from deep. With the full-backs joining in we had a lot of chance and a lot of opportunities and we should have won this game."
Going into the second leg: "If the game is like this, I can imagine everyone will want to see that game."
Some interesting names in the Europa Conference League too.
We say howdy again to Sheriff Tiraspol, who European football aficionados will remember from their astonishing Champions League debut win at Real Madrid last season.
Also in action are Dnipro-1, the successor club to 2015 Europa League runners-up Dnipro who subsequently went defunct and who sound like they are always trying to go into a game one goal ahead.
As was the case earlier, there are bigger names than you would expect to see on Thursday nights in action here.
Juventus are looking for a European run to take their mind off their domestic woes - having been docked 15 points in Serie A.
Also in Europa League action are Sevilla, who seem to win this competition every other year.

Augusto: Not sure I agree with Hargreaves - as a Barcelona fan, I was wondering if Barcelona were the real deal yet. I think both teams might still be left with a few questions, though being able to play an entertaining game of football isn't one of them.
Matt: Wow that match felt like a throwback to the 3-3 draws between these sides in that 98/99 season. Captivating.
Under way in the late kick-offs.
As before the earlier games, a minute's silence is held before the 8pm kick-offs in memory of the victims of the earthquakes in Turkey and Syria.

Rob Green
Former England goalkeeper on BBC Radio 5 Live
I think they will have seen enough to say they can improve on that performance. Barcelona I am not sure, they look good at times, but they don't have that cutting edge, they aren't going to destroy you.
Manchester United know that now, and they will be encouraged. Barcelona might have to double and triple up on Marcus Rashford who just seems like he knows he can make the difference.
