22:24 CET - 4-1 PSG! Maghnes Akliouche has got himself on the scoresheet after former PSG goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma got a huge hand to his strike, before the ball bobbled over the line in bizarre fashion. The Italian isn't having a good game at all.

All the other matches are level - see all the scores and stats here.
21:35 CET - PSG ARE PURRING, THEY HAVE A THIRD! Manchester City are being torn to pieces at home, with Vitinha now scoring a brilliant goal from the edge of the area to put the Champions League holders into a 3-0 lead. It's not even half-time yet; this is a schooling.
21:26 CET - Kylian Mbappe has only needed five minutes to put Real Madrid back on level terms, after they conceded against Roma. All square at the Olimpico.
21:21 CET - Over in Italy, AS Roma have taken a surprise lead against Real Madrid through Marten de Roon.
21:16 CET - PSG HAVE A SECOND! Oh my days, Ousmane Dembele has headed PSG into a shock 2-0 lead. Barely minutes after opening the scoring, Luis Enrique's scintillating side have doubled their lead. The Etihad is shell-shocked.
21:14 CET - PSG HAVE BROKEN THE DEADLOCK EARLY! We have our first goal in Manchester, but it's come from the visitors, with Desire Doue arrowing a shot into the bottom left corner of the Man City goal after a brilliant full-pitch buildup.
21:05 CET - We are underway around the grounds with all seven late games now having kicked off!
Follow tonight's key matches via the links above and see the full slate here.
20:40 CET - In the other early kick-off, Feyenoord have beaten Como 3-2 for their first win of the campaign, with Cesc Fabregas' side suffering their first loss.
20:36 CET - Liverpool have thrashed LASK Linz 6-3 in Austria to continue their perfect start to the league phase, with Bradley Barcola scoring a sublime hat-trick and his first goals for the Reds. Despite the drubbing, Andoni Iraola won’t be best impressed about conceding thrice in the second half.
Catch up on all the match stats here.
20:20 CET - LASK substitute Florian Flecker has just scored a second goal in a few minutes to make it 6-3 against Liverpool. Well, this is starting to reflect a little poorly on the Reds' defence, isn't it?
20:17 CET - Maybe not as ugly as we thought, LASK have pulled another back to make it 'only' 6-2. There's still 15 minutes to go in this one; how many goals will we get?!
20:14 CET - Make it six... Lewis Koumas has marked his Champions League debut with a goal for Liverpool to make it 6-1 against LASK. This is getting ugly...
20:09 CET - Bradley Barcola has scored a third for Liverpool, firmly putting his stamp on this match in Linz as well as announcing himself loudly to the Reds fanbase. He hadn't scored for the club before today; he's now got three!
20:05 CET - LASK have a goal back against Liverpool, making it 4-1 in Linz. Something to celebrate for the home fans! Over in Rotterdam, Feyenoord lead Como 2-1.
20:00 CET - You might have seen the breaking news that Vinicius Junior has been banned for four matches in Spain for pulling hair, and will miss the upcoming Clasico. However, the Brazilian does start tonight for Los Blancos in a star-studded lineup away to Roma.
19:55 CET - While we were previewing City vs PSG, Liverpool went and added a fourth goal to their tally, thanks to Jeremie Frimpong. It's a thrashing in Linz, unfortunately.
19:50 CET - We've got a feast of football coming up with five late games this evening in Europe, and the pick of the bunch is undoubtedly Manchester City vs Paris Saint-Germain.
The Cityzens have been in the headlines for all the wrong reasons of late, given the extremely serious charges levelled against the organisation that could result in unprecedented punishments domestically. With all that going on, it's easy to forget they are in incredible form, having won eight matches on the spin since the Community Shield.
PSG are, of course, the Champions League holders, but suffered a shaky start to the season in France. Regardless, this is a proper heavyweight bout between two giants of the continent.
Check out the starting XIs below, and see all the lineups for the late games here.
19:38 CET - We've reached the halfway stage in tonight's two early kick-offs, and Liverpool have enjoyed a dream opening 45 minutes in Linz, with Bradley Barcola netting a clinical brace and Ronald Araujo nodding in from a corner.
Ryan Gravenberch has also hit the woodwork for the rampant Reds, while Florian Wirtz has pulled the strings impressively in midfield.
Meanwhile, in Rotterdam, Feyenoord and Como are locked at a goal apiece after strikes from Assane Diao and Gjivai Zechiel.
19:10 CET - Ronald Araujo and Bradley Barcola have scored their first Liverpool goals to put the Reds in cruise control against LASK after 25 minutes.
Meanwhile, in Rotterdam, Assane Diao's opener for Como has been quickly cancelled out by an equaliser from Feyenoord's Gjivai Zechiel.
18:48 CET - We're now underway in both Linz and Rotterdam. Stay tuned for all the latest updates!
18:03 CET - Tonight's other early kick-off sees Como travel to Rotterdam to take on Feyenoord, with Cesc Fabregas' side looking to become just the third Italian team to win their opening two Champions League matches.
As for Eredivisie leaders Feyenoord, they'll be keen to bounce back from a humbling 5-1 defeat to Barcelona on matchday one.
17:42 CET - Having seen off Atletico Madrid in their opening league phase match, Liverpool will be determined to make it two wins from two when they take on LASK tonight.
Andoni Iraola has made four changes from Sunday's chastening defeat to Man City, with Jeremie Frimpong, Kostas Tsimikas, Trey Nyoni and Rio Ngumoha coming into the team, while Virgil van Dijk is among those to drop out.
17:00 CET - Good evening and welcome back to our live coverage of matchday two in the 2026/27 UEFA Champions League league phase!
After a thrilling Tuesday, we're all set for another jam-packed night of action, with Manchester City hosting Paris Saint-Germain in a heavyweight tussle at 21:00 CET.

Tuesday, October 13th
23:18 CET - And, breathe.
What a night of football that was across the continent, with goals galore and two big upsets.
The fun's not over yet, either, with more action on the way tomorrow, and we'll be back here to cover it all. See you then!
23:08 CET - Galatasaray looked as if they were going to pull off an upset of their own at one point, but Barcelona pulled off a comeback to claim a 4-1 win.
Fellow LaLiga side Atletico Madrid also claimed all three points, piling the misery on Michael Carrick and his out-of-form Man Utd side, while Arsenal, Villarreal and RB Leipzig all won on home turf against Lille, Napoli and PSV respectively.
23:02 CET - Viking weren't the only underdogs to enjoy a night to remember, with Club Brugge going one better by claiming a thrilling 4-3 win away to Italian champions Inter.
Young German striker Nicolo Tresoldi was the star of the show, bagging a hat-trick to continue his stunning start to the season.
22:57 CET - That's a wrap on a dramatic night of Champions League football, and the big story is that Viking have claimed a late draw against German giants Bayern!
The fairytale looked to have been nipped in the bud when Bayern fought back from 2-0 down to lead, but the Norwegians kept their heads up and ultimately snatched a famous point.
22:50 CET - VIKING EQUALISE AT THE DEATH!
A red card for Michael Olise allowed the underdogs to apply some late pressure, and they've made it count! Herman Haugen has scored to surely seal a famous draw!
22:35 CET - Tresoldi bags a hat-trick! The Club Brugge striker has made it 3-1 at the San Siro to surely give his side a famous win!
Tresoldi now has as many goals in the CL (four) as he did in the whole campaign last year.
22:31 CET - And there's the third goal from Bayern, with Luis Diaz completing the turnaround in Norway after a stunning ball from Kane, who has once again been in inspired form tonight.
22:27 CET - Last year's runners-up have finally broken the deadlock at the Emirates, with Jurrien Timber and Eberechi Eze putting Arsenal on the path to victory.
22:23 CET - Viking's hopes of claiming a famous win are slipping away, with a quickfire double from Harry Kane drawing Bayern level.
There's still hope of one big upset, though, with Club Brugge now leading Inter 2-1.
22:15 CET - Barcelona have made a flying start to the second half in Istanbul, with goals from Fermin Lopez and Anthony Gordon - both set up by Lamine Yamal - giving them a commanding lead.
21:45 CET - Time to cool off on the fairytales; two of the giants are back in the game. Barcelona have levelled against Galatasaray thanks to Joao Cancelo, whilst Lautaro Martinez has answered back for Inter at the expense of Club Brugge.
That brings an end to a memorable first half across the continent - let's catch you up.
Atletico Madrid nearly made it 2-0 before the break, only for VAR to intervene and rule out Johnny Cardoso's effort for handball, leaving the LaLiga side 1-0 up against Manchester United.
Arsenal remain goalless against Lille, whilst the only other game without a goal is RB Leipzig and PSV, but the Dutch side have missed from the spot in the first half.
Viking are stunning Bayern at home, as they lead 2-0 at the break, whilst Villarreal are 2-1 up against Napoli, in part because of Santiago Mourino's wonder strike.
21:39 CET - This is turning into a special Champions League night! On the counter, Viking rip Bayern apart, and Peter Christiansen nets his 14th goal of the season to double their lead! Incredible scenes as they bounce in the stands in Norway.
21:35 CET - Make that 2-0 to Galatasaray! It's rocking in Istanbul, as the Turkish side double their advantage through talisman Victor Osimhen after he heads in a teasing corner. Or not, put those fireworks away for now, it's been ruled out for offside...
21:31 CET - Club Brugge's main man, Nicolo Tresoldi, has netted from the spot to put the Belgian side 1-0 up at San Siro against Inter. It's the German's second goal in as many Champions League games this season, and he looks good to beat his mark of four from last year.
This could be an evening of shocks in the Champions League - Galatasaray have taken the lead against Barcelona through Alexey Batrakov.
21:27 CET - Make that 2-1 to Villarreal! They have taken the lead against Napoli with Santiago Mourino getting on the scoresheet.
It's a beauty of a strike from the right-back as he rifles into the top corner from all of 25 yards!
21:25 CET - As Lille see a goal chalked off for a strange offside call, which is right, Villarreal are back level against Napoli through Georgian striker Georges Mikautadze - his first goal in the competition this campaign.
21:11 CET - It's been a bright start from Napoli at Villarreal, and they have their reward with Amir Rrahmani netting inside 10 minutes, showing quick reactions to spin and shoot after hitting the bar with a header.
21:01 CET - An emotional Wanda Metropolitano is jubilant inside a minute, as Pablo Barrios gives them the lead against Manchester United with a silky side-footed finish.
Meanwhile, it's lift-off in Norway! Viking have taken a 1-0 lead against German giants Bayern, thanks to defender Gianni Stensness.
What a start!
21:00 CET - Underway in our late games on this Tuesday night - let's see what drama is produced!

20:37 CET - History for Sabah Baku! They have scored their first goals, and now they have their first-ever win in the Champions League thanks to a 2-0 victory over Slavia Prague. Goals from Kaheem Parris and Joy-Lance Mickels, helped by some truly poor defending, have seen them over the line. A shout-out to their goalkeeper, Stas Pokatilov, who made six saves in the game.
Elsewhere, Sporting CP also came through to win, beating Lens 2-0.
20:26 CET - After recent surgery on his heart, Scott McTominay makes his first start back for Napoli, in what is a huge boost for Max Allegri's men as they take on Villarreal from 21:00 CET.

Mikel Arteta has rotated his side, with Mikel Merino, Viktor Gyokeres and Eberechi Eze all coming in for starts, whilst the Ligue 1 outfit have former Gunner, Olivier Giroud on the bench. If he does get on the pitch tonight, expect a rapturous reception.
Meanwhile, history is brewing in Baku as we near the hour mark. Sabah have the lead after a tidy finish from Kaheem Parris to lead 1-0 against Slavia Prague. The Azeri side are living dangerously, as the Czech side continue to pepper the goal without any reward. If they can hold on, it will be their maiden win in the competition.
19:53 CET - Over to Istanbul, where Galatasaray take on Barcelona in what feels like a uniquely Champions League match-up.
After resting over the weekend, Victor Osimhen comes back into the starting lineup for the Turkish side, whilst Hansi Flick has gone strong with Lamine Yamal and Anthony Gordon in from the start, but Raphinha misses out with a muscle injury.
19:47 CET - With the second halves underway in northern France and in Baku, let's bring you some team news from around the rest of Europe.

Ayden Heaven comes in to replace Harry Maguire, whilst Marcus Rashford, Carlos Baleba and Andrey Santos all get the nod.
19:32 CET - Half-time across the two games, and it remains goalless between Sabah and Slavia, despite good chances for both sides. The best has fallen to Tomas Chory, but the Czech striker scuffed his first effort before his second was blocked on the line. The Azeri side have looked shaky in possession when playing out from the back, but Rwanda international Joy-Lance Mickels has looked a threat when given space to run.
Sporting, meanwhile, lead Lens 1-0 through that effort from Luiz Suarez.
19:09 CET - Lens have paid for their earlier wastefulness as they fall a goal behind to Sporting CP.
Colombian striker Luis Suarez has the opener - he nips in at the near post to poke it home in the 22nd minute.
19:00 CET - Lens are in total control against Sporting CP. They have racked up an xG of 0.84, and created one big chance so far, whilst their Portuguese opponents have yet to register a shot in anger. If you're the French side, you will want to strike whilst the iron is hot.
Meanwhile, Sabah have had the ball in the net through Jamaica international Kaheem Parris, but VAR has ruled the goal out for offside in the build-up. A let-off for Slavia.
18:45 CET - We are underway in our two openers, ahead of a main course later. Here we go!
18:35 CET - Just under 10 minutes to go until our first two games of matchday two, and it's a huge night for Sabah Baku. They are playing their first-ever home game in the competition, and have a winnable tie against Slavia Prague.
Both sides lost their opener, and will be looking to bounce back tonight.
17:38 CET - As kick-off approaches for the two early kick-offs, team news is in for both matches! Florian Thauvin has made a brilliant start to the season and the veteran winger headlines Lens' starting XI.

As already mentioned, Lens are hosting Sporting CP in a match between two sides doing better in Europe than domestically so far this season (although Sporting do remain unbeaten in Portugal). And in the other early match, Sabah Baku host their first Champions League match after being thrashed by Man United in matchday one and their visitors are Slavia Prague.
