Nantes 0-1 Juventus
French football expert Julien Laurens on BT Sport: Down to ten after 19 minutes with a two-goal deficit there will be no way back for Nantes.
Angel di Maria (19 mins)
Two in 20 minutes for Angel di Maria!
Superb penalty, never in doubt. Di Maria just places it into the back of the net.
Juventus in total control.
Ohhhh dear.
Nantes' Nicolas Pallois is on the deck in the box and the ball bounces off his hand.
Juventus have a penalty and Pallois has been sent off as well. Bit harsh perhaps.
Nightmare start for the home side!
Wissam Ben Yedder (18 mins)
Cool as you like.
Monaco back in control of this tie.
Instant reaction.
Eliesse Ben Seghir gets a shove in the back from Edmond Tapsopa.
Florian Wirtz (13 mins)
Now then, Florian Wirtz puts his side ahead inside 15 minutes.
Wirtz has contributed to goals in his last five games in the Europa League, scoring three and providing four assists.
That levels the tie at 3-3...

Mike Hughes: As a United fan, top 4 finish and a cup would be a massive achievement and platform for next season
Not much else going on across Europe at the 10 minute mark.
Angel di Maria's goal is the only one in the Europa League so far.
Nantes 0-1 Juventus
Does that mean Massimiliano Allegri's side will just sit in for 85 minutes now?
Juventus going through to the round of 16 as it stands.
Angel di Maria (4 mins)
Oh WOW.
Nicolo Fagioli nips the ball away on the edge of the area and plays it out wide to Angel di Maria who goes for a left-foot curling shot and it's an absolute beauty into the top left corner from around 20 yards.
Alban LaFont had absolutely no chance there.
What a strike, spectacular.
Nantes 0-0 Juventus
The Stade de la Beaujoire is literally shaking as the fans jump up and down.
Good start from the home side as Moussa Sissoko goes close but too many Juve bodies in the area.
We are underway across our early games in Europe.
Nantes v Juventus (17:45 GMT)
There is an incredible fan display in one of the stands at the Stade de la Beaujoire with what looks like a giant volcano banner in the middle.
Nantes fans are going to make this very tricky for the Old Lady.
Union Berlin v Ajax (20:00 GMT)
German football journalist Raphael Honigstein speaking on BT Sport: This is Union Berlin's biggest game in their history. They have never been this far in Europe ever and they are playing against a real blue chip side in Ajax so the atmosphere inside the stadium will be amazing.
PSV v Sevilla- agg 0-3 (17:45 GMT)
Sevilla, who seem to win this competition basically every other year, are in action this evening.
They breezed past Dutch outfit PSV 3-0 last week and should be on their way to booking their spot in the last-16.
Nantes v Juventus (17:45 GMT)
French football expert Julien Laurens speaking on BT Sport: The first leg didn't go well for Juventus, Nantes are not really good let's be honest. If Nantes go through to the last-16 it would be one of the biggest achievements for the history of the club. The stadium will be really up for it and so will the players to lessen the gap in talent between the two players.
Nantes v Juventus - agg - 1-1 (17:45 GMT)
Competing in Europe for the first time in 22 years, Nantes host Juventus this evening for a place in the last-16 having held the Italian giants to a score draw in Turin last week.
Juventus are competing in the Europa League for the first time in nine years, having won only one of their last nine matches in Europe and conceding an average of two goals per game in the process.
Juventus' Paul Pogba has been back in training this week after another stint on the sidelines with injury but is not fit to be involved tonight.
We're getting close to kick-off in our early games and it is absolutely teeming down at the Stade de la Beaujoire where Nantes are looking to cause an upset.
Earlier today we heard the sad news that legendary football commentator John Motson has died aged 77.
Motson covered 10 World Cups, 10 European Championships and 29 FA Cup finals for BBC Sport before retiring from the organisation in 2018.
Popularly known as 'Motty', he had worked on Match of the Day since 1971.
You can have a watch of some of his most iconic lines below.
