It's another for Julian Álvarez as the Argentina international scores in the 90th minute for Atleti.

Has he earned his side all three points?

GOAL! Slovan Bratislava 1-3 Stuttgart

Slovan Bratislava had pulled a goal back, but Stuttgart almost immediately restored their lead.

Sorry, what year is it?

GOAL! Benfica 4-4 Barcelona

This game has had a bit of everything!

A beautifully chipped ball from Pedri was headed home by Eric García with just four minutes of normal time remaining. Surely there's not going to be a winner here?!

RED CARD! Atlético Madrid 1-1 Bayer Leverkusen

Leverkusen's goalscorer Piero Hincapié has gone from hero to zero has he has been sent off. This game is now down to ten men each.

GOAL! Red Star 2-3 PSV

Their goals scored by Cherif Ndiaye and Nasser Djiga.

This game is officially crazy. Robert Lewandowski has scored his second penalty of the night after Lamine Yamal was fouled in the box.

GOAL! Bologna 2-1 Borussia Dortmund

Just as we were updating you with those other goals, Bologna have scored two in quick succession to put themselves 2-1 up against Borussia Dortmund thanks to Samuel Iling-Junior and Thijs Dallinga.Could this be curtains for Nuri Şahin?

GOAL! Benfica 4-2 Barcelona

GOAL! Benfica 3-2 Barcelona

Is this game on? Raphinha has pulled one back for Barca with a header from around 25 yards out!

GOAL! Liverpool 2-1 Lille

And just like that, Liverpool are back in front. Harvey Elliott – who has been excellent since he came on – has put them back in front.

GOAL! Liverpool 1-1 Lille

Wow. Liverpool had plenty of opportunities to extend their lead, and with Lille just having been shown a red card, it seemed like it would be an uphill battle for them to find an equaliser. But that's exactly what they've done!

A shot from a low ball into the box was initially blocked by Mac Allister, but the rebound is stuck away by Jonathan David.

RED CARD! Aïssa Mandi (Lille)

GOAL! Atlético Madrid 1-1 Bayer Leverkusen

Great strength from Julian Álvarez, who muscles past one defender then holds off another to fire his shot in from a tight angle and put the home side level.

All still to play for in this game.

RED CARD! Ryan Flamingo 🦩(PSV)

Just in case you're wondering what's happened to Juventus, they are still locked at 0-0 with Club Brugge, but have been getting closer to scoring...

Jamie Leweling's brace is a milestone for Stuttgart, as they still lead Slovan Bratislava by a 2-0 scoreline.

Salah nearly made it two...

GOAL! Slovan Bratislava 0-2 Stuttgart

Jamie Leweling has another for Stuttgart!

Just confirmation of that record for Mo Salah there, he really is unstoppable at the moment isn't he?

GOAL! Red Star 0-2 PSV

Luuk de Jong turns provider this time as his delivery from a corner was nodded in by Guus Til.

GOAL! Liverpool 1-0 Lille

That's as simple as it comes for Liverpool, as a long ball out of defence puts Mo Salah one-on-one with the goalkeeper, and there was really only going to be one winner. That's his 50th European goal for the Reds.

GOAL! Benfica 3-1 Barcelona

Oh dear. Wojciech Szczęsny is having a nightmare for Barcelona and gave away a penalty, allowing Vangelis Pavlidis to step up and complete a hat-trick within 30 minutes. Should he have stayed retired?

RED CARD! Pablo Barrios (Atlético de Madrid)

GOAL! Benfica 2-1 Barcelona

The Portuguese side are really giving Barça a game here. After Gavi went close, Benfica took the initiative and put themselves back in front. Vangelis Pavlidis with his second of the evening

GOAL! Red Star 0-1 PSV

PSV are also ahead after Luuk de Jong powered home a header from a corner.

GOAL! Benfica 1-1 Barcelona

That didn't take long did it? A VAR check VAR judged Antonio Silva to have fouled Alejandro Balde and the penalty was dispatched by Robert Lewandowski. That's seven in seven for the big man in Europe!

GOAL! Bologna 0-1 Borussia Dortmund

Borussia Dortmund were awarded a penalty and Serhou Guirassy stepped up with a panenka to put the away side in front. Cool as you like!

GOAL! Slovan Bratislava 0-1 Stuttgart

The goal goes the way of Jamie Leweling.

GOAL! Benfica 1-0 Barcelona

It's a horrendous start for Barcelona as a long ball and a quick breakaway for the home side creates a chance for Vangelis Pavlidis, who has no hesitation in firing his side ahead.

KICK OFF! Seven Champions League games underway - let's goooo!

Same, tbh 😂

FULL TIME: Monaco 1-0 Aston Villa

A disappointing night for the underperforming Villains, as they succumb to a 1-0 defeat away at Monaco.

FULL TIME: Atalanta 5-0 Sturm Graz

This really was an emphatic win from La Dea as they go up to third in the UCL table, pending other results.

GOAL! Atalanta 5-0 Sturm Graz

Adding two goal updates in one here as Atalanta have scored two more in a matter of seconds! The first came from Ademola Lookman and the second came deep into stoppage time from Marco Brescianini.

It seems like Unai Emery is growing ever more frustrated with his players as they still trail 1-0 at Monaco.

Look closely and you can see that Prince William is currently in attendance at the Louis II Stadium, cheering on Aston Villa. A prince in the principality!
