Welcome back to European football and the second gameweek of UEFA's new format. As will often be the case in this system, there are matches to look forward to which would ordinarily be seen in the latter stages of the competition. Over the next three nights of Champions League, Europa League and Conference League football - strap in for goals, drama and hopefully a few upsets.

Listen to a host of Champions League ties now with Flashscore.

21:15 CET - This could be a long night for Slovan Bratislava... Manchester City are two goals to the good, this time Phil Foden is teed up by Jeremy Doku and the English playmaker curls an effort into the bottom corner. 

Meanwhile, PSV lead Sporting after 15 minutes through Dutch international Jerdy Schouten.

21:11 CET - Borussia Dortmund are head again, this time through Karim Adeyemi - the third goal in the first 12 minutes in their match against Celtic. Steady on, lads.

21:10 CET - GOALS, GOALS, GOALS! In Bratislava, Manchester City have taken the lead through a deflected shot from Ilkay Gundogan - his first goal for the club since returning from Barcelona - whilst his former club lead Young Boys 1-0 through old faithful Robert Lewandowski.

Meanwhile, it's been a lightning start in Dortmund, where an early opener from Emre Can has been cancelled out by Celtic's Daizen Maeda.

21:00 CET - Seven games across Europe have all kicked off - what can we expect tonight then? Remember you can use the link above to listen to selected ties, whilst we will bring you the best of the action right here throughout the next two hours or so.

20:50 CET - Another big game tonight sees Bayer Leverkusen and AC Milan do battle in an already pumping BayArena, with the German champions looking to get their second win of the competition.

Florian Wirtz starts for the home side, whilst Alvaro Morata, who scored for Milan at the weekend, is only fit enough for the bench tonight.

20:24 CET - Let's bring you some more team news from the later games with probably the biggest mismatch of the tournament.

Manchester City are in Slovakia to take on Slovan Bratislava and Pep Guardiola has gone with a strong side that includes Erling Haaland and Phil Foden, something he promised on Monday.

Want to know more about the Slovak side - our very own Silvester Bobko had this to say about their iconic manager Vladimir Weiss.

20:21 CET - What a dream night for Brest! Their best goal of the night sees Mathias Pereira Lage curl an effort in from the edge of the box to put this match beyond doubt and don't they know it - the whole squad mobs the Frenchman to celebrate. A clinical performance from the Ligue 1 side.

20:16 CET - It gets better and better for Brest as Abdallah Sima reacts first on the rebound to score his second of the night against Salzburg to put his side 3-0 up. Boos and whistles ring around the stadium, the home fans frustrated with the display.

20:11 CET - Still all square between Stuttgart and Sparta Prague and the second half is following the pattern of the first with both teams creating chances aplenty.

The same can't be said in Salzburg, where Brest have doubled their lead in the 66th minute through a nice strike from Mahdi Camara after a bit of fortune to see the ball at his feet in the box. A mountain to climb for the Austrians now.

20:01 CET - Still all the same in our early games, so let's turn our attention to arguably the biggest 21:00 CET fixture, which sees PSG travel to London to face Arsenal.

Before the game, PSG manager Luis Enrique stated that Ousmane Dembele would be left out of the squad and he has made good on his word, with the Frenchman absent.

For Arsenal, Bukayo Saka captains the side as they name a relatively youthful bench given their injury list.
