Key events
There are two 5.45pm GMT kick-offs, and those matches have both just reached half-time. Pafos and Villarreal are goalless at the break in Cyprus, while in Azerbaijan, Chelsea trail Qarabağ 2-1, having led early doors. And they’ve also lost Romeo Lavia to injury. John Brewin has the latest from Baku.
Preamble
It’s another busy night in the Champions League. Busy, if not particularly laced with jeopardy, such is the nature of the sprawling Swiss behemoth, but let’s not start pulling at those threads now. Here’s this evening’s card …
Ajax v Galatasaray
Benfica v Bayer Leverkusen
Brugge v Barcelona
Internazionale v Kairat
Manchester City v Borussia Dortmund
Marseille v Atalanta
Newcastle United v Athletic Club
… and we’ll bring you all the team news as it comes in. Then the goals. Then the results. You know the pack drill. The evening gets going at 8pm GMT. It’s on!
