Great news for those organizing the title celebration for Celtic: Aberdeen is trailing by one goal against Hibernian. Joe Newell netted the first goal just before halftime, and the second half has now begun.

What's happening in the Championship? It seems like goals are hard to come by, as there have been no goals in the matches between Stoke and Preston, Watford and Bristol City, and Sunderland and West Brom. However, Burnley has just scored first against Coventry, with Jeremy Sarmiento finding the net.

In other matches, Norwich is ahead of Plymouth with a score of 2-1, Sheffield United is leading Oxford 2-0, and Sheffield Wednesday is in the lead against Hull, thanks to a penalty scored by Josh Windass.

Barcelona secured a slim win with a 1-0 victory over Brest, while Bayern Munich also edged past PSG with the same scoreline. Inter managed to beat Leipzig by 1-0, and Leverkusen dominated Salzburg with a 3-0 triumph. Manchester City won 1-0 against Feyenoord, whereas Sporting faced a tough match, losing 0-3 to Arsenal. Young Boys were outperformed by Atalanta, falling to a 1-4 defeat.

In the early matches, Slovan Bratislava lost to Milan with a score of 2-3, while Sparta Prague faced a heavy defeat against Atlético, finishing at 0-6.

Bayern Leads 1-0 At Halftime Against PSG

Bayern end the first half with the upper hand, as Joshua Kimmich almost scores. After an active first half, they take a well-earned lead into halftime, thanks to a header by Kim Min-jae from a corner kick.

Half-Time: Arsenal Leads Sporting 3-0

Arsenal delivered an outstanding performance in the first half, handling a challenging match with ease. With Martinelli, Havertz, and Gabriel all scoring, they are close to wrapping things up.

Arsenal Defeats Sporting 3-0 With Gabriel's Goal

Can you imagine a goal scored by Gabriel Magalhães? That's exactly what happened. Declan Rice delivered a flawless corner kick, and the charging center-back directed it into the net with a powerful header.

Man City Leads 1-0 Against Feyenoord

City gained the advantage just before halftime in what had been a frustrating first half, as Erling Haaland confidently converted the penalty following an extended VAR review. You can read more about it here:

Atalanta Triumphs 4-1 Over Young Boys

Retegui scored his second goal with a powerful shot that found the bottom corner. To be honest, I'm beginning to wish I hadn't decided to document every goal in this match.

Bayern Triumphs 1-0 Over PSG

Bayern takes the lead with a score of 1-0, but the goal comes from an unexpected player. After the backup goalkeeper Safonov misjudges a corner kick, the ball bounces back to Kim Min-jae, who confidently sends it into the net with a header!

The visiting supporters are the loudest in Barcelona right now. Brest has brought around 5,000 fans along, while a significant number of Barça ultras are missing this evening due to a disagreement over a fine related to inappropriate chants from last season. The score remains 1-0.

PSG is starting to find their rhythm, with Barcola and Dembele creating some opportunities. When do you think Harry Kane will find the back of the net first? I predict it will happen in the 56th minute.

Arsenal comes close to scoring on the right flank, but the cross is cleared just in time as Saka is nearby. Meanwhile, at the Etihad, Feyenoord is beginning to push forward after successfully holding off City's offensive players.

Atalanta Triumphs: Young Boys 1-3

Who’s charging towards the goal like a racehorse? It’s Sead Kolasinac, who was perfectly set up by De Ketelaere. He takes a moment to control the ball, chooses his target, and neatly places it in the bottom corner.

Leverkusen Dominates Salzburg 3-0!

Wirtz nets his fifth goal of the Champions League season, and it’s a stunning one. He collects the ball near the edge of the goal, dribbles past two defenders, and slots it into the far corner with precision.

Atalanta Secures 2-1 Win Against Young Boys

Atalanta regains the advantage after Young Boys goalkeeper David von Ballmoos fumbles a quick shot from Charles De Ketelaere, allowing the ball to slip through him.

Lukeba Own Goal: Inter Leads 1-0 Over Leipzig

Inter took the advantage when Federico Dimarco sent in a stunning, curved cross that was accidentally redirected into the net by Castello Lukeba, resulting in an own goal.

Arsenal Clinches Victory Over Sporting 2-0

Alright then. Everything is going according to plan for Arsenal as they break through Sporting’s defense once more. Partey sends a high pass to Saka, who deftly nudges it past the goalkeeper, Franco Israel. This gives Kai Havertz the chance to easily slot the ball into an unguarded net. It wasn't the best performance from the Sporting goalkeeper, who also seemed a bit uncertain during the first goal.

Arsenal has faced some pressure since taking the lead, but they push forward once more. Partey takes a low shot that goes straight into the goalkeeper's hands.

Following that burst of activity, there was a brief pause in the action. Bayern kept pressing, with Sané's attempt being stopped at the near post by Safonov, who is starting in goal instead of Donnarumma tonight. Meanwhile, at the Etihad, City continues to push forward, but their play lacks clarity and confidence at this point.

Goals Galore! Young Boys Draw 1-1 With Atalanta

Atalanta's star player Mateo Retegui puts the visitors ahead, but just as I begin to write that down, Silvere Ganvoula strikes back to equalize! This marks the first goal that Atalanta has allowed in the Champions League this season.

Leverkusen Takes Lead: 2-0 Against Salzburg!

Salzburg faces a tough situation as Alejandro Grimaldo nets a stunning free kick, giving Leverkusen the upper hand.

Barcelona Edges Brest 1-0 With Lewandowski Penalty

Robert Lewandowski suffers a heavy challenge from the Brest goalkeeper, resulting in a penalty kick, which he effortlessly slots in. That goal puts him in the prestigious 100 club of the Champions League, alongside Ronaldo and Messi.

Leverkusen Leads 1-0 Over Salzburg

Florian Wirtz successfully converts the penalty, and another spot kick is about to be awarded in a different match...

Arsenal Takes Early Lead Against Sporting 0-1

We've set our sights on a goal – and it's gone in for Arsenal! After some smooth passing, Rice finds Timber on the right flank. Timber delivers a low cross that Martinelli taps in at the far post.

Arsenal started strong against a well-organized Sporting defense. There were no goals scored across Europe at this point, but Leverkusen was awarded a penalty after a VAR check revealed a handball from a deflection.

At Camp Nou Montjuic, Ajorque misses a decent opportunity for Brest right at the start. Meanwhile, at the Etihad, Gundogan's shot from the edge of the box gets deflected out for a corner.

We’ve started our coverage in Barcelona, Bern, Leverkusen, Lisbon, Milan, Manchester, and Munich, where the match between Bayern and PSG began a few minutes behind schedule.

We're almost ready for the seven 8pm Champions League matches to start. In the Championship, Norwich is ahead of Plymouth, while Sheffield United has a goal advantage over Oxford at home.

Bill Hargreaves comments, "Arsenal's squad looks really impressive. With players like Nwaneri, Jesus, and Sterling sitting on the bench, I think they have a good chance of performing well tonight and throughout this tournament."

Charles Antaki remarks, “The Arsenal team seems strong. With Declan Rice back in action and the smooth playmaker Martin Ødegaard performing at his best, they look promising. However, this often leads to the familiar feeling of disappointment for dedicated Arsenal fans, resulting in another draw.”

“Is the Ibrahimovic sitting on the bench for Bayern connected to Zlatan?” inquires Mike Jakeman. Unfortunately, no – but Arijon Ibrahimovic has the potential to shine on his own. The attacking midfielder is among Bayern’s most promising young talents and is working hard to secure a spot in Vincent Kompany’s team following a recent injury.

The match has concluded with Slovan Bratislava losing 2-3 to Milan, leaving the Slovak team at the bottom of the standings with zero points after five matches. They put up a strong fight in this game, especially compared to Sparta Prague, who suffered a heavy 6-0 defeat against Atlético Madrid.

These outcomes indicate that Atlético and Milan are in ninth and tenth place, closely trailing Aston Villa in the race for a spot in the top eight.

Tonight, there are seven Championship matches taking place, along with an exciting lineup in League One, and a clash between Hibs and Aberdeen in the Scottish Premiership. I'll do my best to keep you informed, but you can also check our live feed for updates.

Milan is handling their match in Bratislava well, as Rafael Leão scored to give them a 2-1 lead before Tammy Abraham capitalized on a poor backpass to extend their advantage to three goals. Meanwhile, in Prague, Atlético is leading 4-0 against Sparta, with Álvarez and Griezmann netting goals in the second half.

One key player making waves for Atlético is Júlian Álvarez, who transferred from Manchester City over the summer. However, his transition to life in Madrid hasn't been as swift as expected. His absence is definitely felt by Pep Guardiola's team, especially as they look to break a streak of five consecutive losses at home against Feyenoord.

We're halfway through the 5:45 PM (GMT) matches happening in the Czech Republic and Slovakia. Atlético Madrid is currently ahead of Sparta Prague with a score of 2-0, while Slovan Bratislava has managed to tie with Milan at 1-1.

In their recent eight matches away from home in Europe, Arsenal has managed just one victory, alongside three draws and four losses. Notably, during their last four outings on the continent, they have failed to find the back of the net. As a famous former player might put it: That's a serious issue!

Is it a major issue? Not at this point. Arsenal has accumulated seven points and currently ranks 12th in the expansive Champions League standings. They are likely to progress, but this match will be crucial in determining if they advance directly or have to go through the playoffs, which would mean more challenging away matches. As you may know, Sporting recently lost their coach, Ruben Amorim, but they still pose a significant offensive danger and have a history of strong performances. Their first away match this season was in Lisbon, where they drew 2-2 in the Europa League and later lost on penalties at the Emirates Stadium.

While the match in Portugal might be lighthearted and not too serious, the showdown between Bayern Munich and PSG is a whole other matter. PSG has struggled the most among the top teams in Ligue 1 and is currently languishing at the bottom in 25th place, facing some challenging matches ahead. Bayern isn’t doing much better themselves; after their impressive 9-2 victory against Dinamo Zagreb, they’ve suffered two consecutive losses, pushing the Croatian team ahead of them in the standings. Oh Vinnie!

Hold on, there’s additional excitement! Barcelona faces Brest in an unexpected clash between two teams in the top six. Meanwhile, Leverkusen aims to regain their spark as they take on Red Bull Salzburg. Italian teams Inter and Atalanta – staying true to form by not allowing any goals so far – will try to maintain that streak against teams that have yet to earn a point, RB Leipzig and Young Boys. Those matches are set to begin at 8 PM, but two earlier matches have already kicked off. Get ready for some thrilling action!
