Key events
Elsewhere, can Liverpool make it five in a row?
Two games are already underway and halfway through. Athletic Bilbao are one-all with Qarabag, while Galatasaray are 2-0 up against Bodo/Glimt thanks to a Victor Osimhen brace. The second was comical, with Osimhen getting in the way of a backpass to set up a simple one-on-one with the keeper.
Preamble
GOALS! REDS! PENS! Tuesday night was hectic in the Champions League, with 43 (!) goals across nine games (Yara deserves a raise). Here’s to more tonight, even if my fingers are left unusable for the next fortnight.
We’ve got some juicy fixtures: Real Madrid v Juventus is the heritage pick, while it’s the Eric Dier derby with Spurs’ visit to Monaco (even if he’s injured). Chelsea host Ajax, while Harry Kane’s Bayern Munich welcome Club Brugge. Keep me company for the 44 goals to be scored this evening, with my eyeballs ready to explode as I juggle various screens. Let’s play!
