Other full-time scores Antwerp 1-4 Porto Leipzig 3-1 Red Star Feyenoord 3-1 Lazio Barcelona 2-1 Shakhtar Full-time: PSG 3-0 Milan There may be life in the new PSG yet. Mbappe was the key man, of course, but in Dembele and Lee, he has decent foils. And Zaire-Emery looks a superstar of the now, rather than the future. Lionel and Ney who? Full-time: Young Boys 1-3 Manchester City Two goals for Haaland. Normal service? It was harder than it looked. Now, how much did that take out of City ahead of Sunday’s derby? Full-time: Celtic 2-2 Atletico That’s a point celebrated by Diego Simeone whose handshake with a bemused Brendan Rodgers is brief. Celtic gave everything but couldn’t get the final run on Atleti after that sending-off. Full-time: Newcastle 0-1 Dortmund Into injury time and it’s the Dortmund fans who can be heard. Tonali forces a corner. The crowd order Nick Pope to go up, and Eddie Howe agrees. It’s headed away. But then after a series of bounces the ball comes off the bar and is cleared behind. One final corner. Almiron smashes over. And that’s over. Celtic 2-2 Atletico Griezmann has what looks a minor knock, and Simeone wants his physios on. He’s throwing them on, and they have no idea why they have been called on. Griezmann has forgotten he is supposed to be injured. PSG 3-0 Milan (Lee, 89) Milan chasing shadows and the sub, Lee Kang-in, the flying winger, completes the counterattack. Goal! Young Boys 1-3 Manchester City (Haaland, 86) A right foot hammer from the big man and the job is done. Goal! Leipzig 3-1 Red Star (Dani Olmo, 84) The Spanish star, such a good player, is back and scoring. That’s that. Goal! Antwerp 1-2 Porto (Evanilson, 84) A hat-trick from the Brazilian. Red card at Celtic! That’s more like it! Rodrigo de Paul – any relation of Lynsey? – shows that it’s 1974. This town isn’t big enough for the both of us. Newcastle 0-1 Dortmund The noise of that PSG game has been replaced by boos and whistles and the sound of Geordie anxiety. Dortmund are hardly the most psychologically tough team in the world so there’s still time yet. Celtic 2-2 Atletico No sendings-off as yet in this 1974 revival. No Paper Lace, Barry White or Wall Street Shuffle, either. Manchester City goal ruled out! Rodri forces the ball out, and then Haaland plays a nice assist and Alvarez, on for mere seconds, slides the ball in. There was a handball in the buildup says the VAR. It seemed a bit harsh. Goal! Leipzig 1-2 Red Star (Stameric, 70) An instinctive finish after a cross pinged all over the box, and Red Star are back in it. Goal! Antwerp 1-3 Porto (Evanilson, 69) Porto so improved since the first half and their in-form striker Evanilson scores a well-taken, first time shot. Newcastle 0-1 Dortmund: Tonali is on for Newcastle now, just as he expects to learn of his betting ban tomorrow morning. This should be the last the Toon Army see of him playing until next season. Joelinton is on, too. Goal! Young Boys 1-2 Manchester City (Haaland, 66 pen) Penalty to City after a crunching tackle on Rodri, who looks to be in pain, though was OK to take part in the celebrations once Haaland has slotted home. Joe Pearson gets in touch: “Thanks for the Django link! I always love a soundtrack when watching the Spanish language telecasts. Incidentally, it’s kind of amazing that two of the greatest guitarists of their respective eras, Django Reinhardt and Jerry Garcia, played with either badly damaged fingers (Django) or a missing one (Jerry).” There’s also Tony Iommi from Black Sabbath, who invented metal when having to replace the top of his fingers with tops made of Fairy Liquid bottles. Goal! Leipzig 2-0 Red Star (Xavi, 59) Xavi Simons, the Dutchman, scores a beauty, cutting in from the left, and smashing the ball into the top-right corner. The goals are flying in across Europe. Goal! Celtic 2-2 Atletico (Morata, 54) The man who scored the goal against Scotland for Spain, notches from Llorente’s cross. It was a move started by the coolness of Axel Witsel in escaping the chase from Celtic’s attackers and then starting the attack. Goal! Antwerp 1-2 Porto (Eustaquio, 54) The comeback is complete. And Eustaquio scores a beauty. Goal! Young Boys 1-1 Manchester City (Elia, 52) What a goal! As soon as Haaland has a shot saved, Young Boys escape down the field and their Congolese striker scoops in a beauty. Ederson needed scaffolding to reach that and yet it dropped like a feather into the net. Goal! PSG 2-0 Milan (Kolo Muani, 53) PSG didn’t wait long. Mbappe was the creator and Muani taps in the rebound. Milan’s defence was all over the show. Goal ruled out....PSG 1-0 Milan Has Giroud got something in his eye? Some concern for the French legend…but Mbappe breaks away and sets up Dembele. Tomori tied up in knots as they broke away and scored. There’s a VAR check for an earlier foul, and it’s pulled back. And ruled out…. Goal! Antwerp 1-1 Porto (Evanilson 46) Just a few seconds in the second half and the striker speeds away and thwacks home. Goal! Young Boys 0-1 Manchester City (Akanji, 48) He’s suspended for the derby but he enjoys the moment. Rodri sets off an attack and the cross from the left is eventually knocked in by the Swiss defender. We are back underway in the second halves. The details from those earlier matches. Kári Tulinius gets in touch: “PSG look in the groove. It helps that they’re in their familiar 4-3-3 shape, unlike at Saint James, when Luis Enrique channeled another famous Parisian club, and allowed his inner Django Reinhardt and Stéphane Grappelli to jazz up the selection and sent his team out in a 4-2-4.” And some half-time reading: The other half-times Antwerp 1-0 Porto PSG 1-0 Milan Leipzig 1-0 Red StarAnd from before Feyenoord 3-1 Lazio Barcelona 2-1 Shakhtar Half-time: Young Boys 0-0 Manchester City Not as expected though Pep’s pre-match complaints about the pitch have been brought to bear in an oddly stilted display. Half-time: Celtic 2-1 Atletico That’s been a classic first half from Celtic, scoring two fine goals. What spirit they have shown against a still top-class Atleti team. Can they hang on? Half-time: Newcastle 0-1 Dortmund Rather controversially, Dortmund are pulled back by the half-time whistle when they had escaped on another counter like the one from which they scored. Goal! Newcastle 0-1 Dortmund (Nmecha, 45) On the counter, Reus plays the ball wide after a fine tackle by Schlottenberg, whose pass out of defence is excellent.The ball is slipped inside to Nmecha, who scores a fine goal. That was a little too easy. Young Boys 0-0 Manchester City City seem a bit bogged down by the plastic pitch though Jeremy Doku has just had a shot saved. It’s all a bit slow. PSG 1-0 Milan Suddenly Mbappe seizes on a loose ball and he plays in Dembele, who then has a shot saved. The Parisians looking by far the better team. Or certainly more dangerous. Celtic 2-1 Atletico Matt O’Riley forces a fine save from Oblak from the edge of the area. Chances at both ends for both teams in a match doing justice to its historic status. Goal! Antwerp 1-0 Porto (Yusuf, 36) The ball drops to the Nigerian via a deflection and the finish is glorious from Alhassan Yusuf. Goal! PSG 1-0 Milan (Mbappe, 32) The great man cuts in the from the left, shifts the ball from foot to foot and scores. Zaire Emery’s run from deep made it. What a player he is when he’s bothered. Leipzig 0-0 Red Star Red Star were given a penalty that’s now been ruled out. Goal! Celtic 2-1 Atletico (Palma, 28) Celtic back in front, the ball swinging from the left, and from the right, Palma takes one touch and wallop. Goal! Celtic 1-1 Atletico (Griezmann 25) Oh no. You can’t keep a player like Griezmann down. Greg Taylor committed a foul, and Griezmann took a penalty that Hart saved only for the rebound to fall to the World Cup winner.
