The Champions League group stage is back - and it delivered a night full of drama. Arsenal beat Athletic Club 2-0 in Bilbao with goals from Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard, while Tottenham returned to Europe’s elite competition with a helping hand from Villarreal’s goalkeeper. Borussia Dortmund and Juventus shared a wild 4-4 draw, Real Madrid edged Marseille thanks to two Kylian Mbappé penalties, and Benfica suffered a shock home defeat to Qarabag - the first ever group-stage win for an Azerbaijani club.

In the Carabao Cup, Brentford knocked out Aston Villa on penalties despite conceding their first goal of the season, Crystal Palace edged Millwall in a shootout, and Grimsby Town’s dream run continued with a 1-0 win at Sheffield Wednesday.

Looking ahead, Liverpool host Atlético Madrid tonight with record signing Alexander Isak set for his European debut, while Bayern face Chelsea, PSG meet Atalanta, and Ajax take on last year’s finalists Inter.
