5m ago 15.47 EDT Lille 0-0 Real Madrid: PENALTY! A Lille free-kick pings into Camavinga on the edge of the wall. His arm is out a little and VAR has a bit of interest. The referee is having a look and gives it! Share

20m ago 15.32 EDT GOAL! RB Leipzig 1-0 Juventus (Sesko 30) The Germans go from one end to the other. Gulacsi makes a save and they break up the pitch. Openda gets it and chips to Sesko who takes an incredible touch and thrashes the ball in off the bar. A very satisfying watch. Share

22m ago 15.30 EDT Mary Waltz emails: “Will, Greetings from California. Paramount has given us the Benfica match so I appreciate the wraparound coverage of the other fixtures. I don’t know if anyone else shares my opinion but the Pre and post game coverage by Scott, Henry, Carragher, and Micah is fine when they stick to soccer but the forced comedy routine where every joke elicits over the top laughter from the crew is cringe to say the least.” I am pleased to not be watching. Share

23m ago 15.29 EDT Liverpool 1-0 Bologna: At some point Liverpool will wonder how they have not added a second. Nunez has a decent chance from the edge of the box but whacks it well over. Share

23m ago 15.28 EDT Lille 0-0 Real Madrid: Two chances for David as he heads a cross straight at Lunin and can’t do better with the follow up. Two decent reaction saves from the goalkeeper.

33m ago 15.19 EDT Dinamo Zagreb 0-0 Monaco: A good chance for Minamino but the goalkeeper comes out quickly. The pitch in Croatia looks awful after heavy rain. Share

42m ago 15.10 EDT Liverpool 0-0 Bologna: NO GOAL! Dallinga gets the wrong side of the Liverpool defence before producing a fine finish. He runs off to celebrate but the flag is rightly erected. Share

43m ago 15.09 EDT Girona 2-3 Feyenoord David Lopez scored Girona’s first ever Champions League goal but the Spanish side lost 3-2 at home to Feyenoord on Wednesday in a pulsating contest in which both teams missed a penalty and there were two own goals.

Lopez put Girona ahead midway through the first half, but a Yangel Herrera own goal and a strike from teenager Antoni Milambo swung the contest in the favour of the Dutch visitors.

Ayase Ueda missed a penalty for Feyenoord and Bojan Miovski likewise for Girona, before former Ajax midfielder Donny van de Beek drew the home side level at 2-2. That joy was short-lived though as Ladislav Krejci turned the ball into his own net to give Feyenoord the lead again and this time they held on to ensure a second consecutive defeat for Girona in their maiden Champions League campaign.

47m ago 15.05 EDT Liverpool 0-0 Bologna: The hosts are completing dominating proceedings. I am not sure Bologna have made it out of their own half yet. Share

49m ago 15.02 EDT Liverpool 0-0 Bologna: Almost a very early goal for Liverpool as Gravenberch sends a low cross into the six-yard box but no one in red can convert. Posch does his best to put it into his own net but recovers to clear. Share

51m ago 15.00 EDT Peter Oh brings his own brand to my inbox: “Alisson has looked razor-sharp of late. He’s clearly capable of a world-class shave I mean save. “If you ask me, the new Even Bigger Cup format is a bunch of baloney I mean Bologna.” Looks like the goalkeeper has a midnight shadow to me. Share

52m ago 15.00 EDT Kick off Peep! Peep! Peep! We are under way around Europe. Share

1h ago 14.49 EDT I’ve been at four of Liverpool’s six league games this season, it’s almost strange to not be at Anfield tonight. Naturally, Ryan Gravenberch has made headlines for his impressive run in a new role but I’ve enjoyed watching the front three, regardless of combination. Mohamed Salah looks close to his very best. Share

1h ago 14.40 EDT Arne Slot: “It is an opportunity, we hope we are going to take the opportunity but we face a tough opportunity. They had a very good season last season but it is not an easy one. “Jota didn’t train for two days but I am happy he is still available. “It is difficult if you play every three or four days, it is never easy to play in Champions League or Premier League. “We need to be more aggressive without the ball and press more.” Share
