GOAL
Man City 1-1 Roma - Francesco Totti (23 mins)
The oldest swinger in town does the damage! Francesco Totti, 38, becomes the oldest goalscorer in European competition history with a cheeky finish, chipping over the head of Joe Hart with a wonderful touch. He was onside, played in by Radja Nainggolan, and the finish was first-class.
The familiar thumb-sucking celebration and the 1500 or so Roma fans go nuts.

You've got to score that one! What a miss from Andre Schurrle, Eden Hazard sprinting clear of the defence and putting the cutback on a plate. But the German hooks it wide...

Sporting 0-0 Chelsea
Chance for Sporting now as Islam Slimani gets in between Gary Cahill and John Terry to meet a teasing cross from the left, but his header is poor and easily saved by Thibaut Courtois. A let-off for Chelsea, and moments later they almost capitalise, that man Andre Schurrle floating a header in on target before shooting low and hard.
He gets some shots away!

What a minute for Maicon against his old club! The Roma right-back latches on to Francesco Totti's clever chip to beat the offside trap before leathering a shot past Joe Hart and against the underside of the crossbar.
He had three men over in support but went for the shot. Remember that insane goal he scored in the World Cup of 2010? He likes a goal from an acute angle and nearly had another belter there.

"Costa is presumably pushing to start games as well."

BBC Sport's Chris Osborne at Watford v Brentford: "Oscar Garcia's decision to step down this week and Billy McKinlay's immediate appointment leaves Watford with their third manager in 30 days.
"You'd expect that to be the tale of a side suffering at the bottom of the table - but the Hornets were second when Beppe Sannino quit on 31 August, more because of a failing relationship with players than anything else.
"And Garcia's departure was purely motivated by his desire to concentrate on recovering from the chest pains that put him in hospital for a week. Former Blackburn and Scotland midfielder McKinlay starts life as a manager with the visit of a Brentford side slowly finding their way in the Championship - they sit 12th in the table."

"Big big chance for Nani - should be hitting the target at least.
"Courtois made himself big and Nani put it wide."
CLOSE!
Sporting 0-1 Chelsea
And now a chance at the other end! Nani gets on the end of a flowing move but drags his shot horrible into the side-netting. Considering Chelsea should be about 6-0 up they could well throw this lead away if they are not careful.
GOAL
PSG 3-2 Barcelona - Neymar (56 mins)
Brilliant response from Barcelona as Neymar smashes in from Dani Alves's ball into the box and the away side are very much back in this.

GREAT SAVE!
Sporting 0-1 Chelsea
Got to be! No!
I've not seen so many one-on-ones in a game since Ian Rush was playing. Sporting Lisbon's offside trap is an absolute travesty as Oscar again has 45 yards of grass to run into. Again he takes too long and should score, but his effort is kicked clear by Rui Patricio. Massive chance.
GOAL
PSG 3-1 Barcelona - Blaise Matuidi (54 mins)
Well, well, well. Zlatan Ibrahimovic may be injured but PSG have not needed him as Blaise Matuidi increases their lead, superbly sidefooting through the legs of keeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen from a cross.

Joe Hart is keeping City in this. A great move again from Roma as Francesco Totti is at the fore, popping off a touch which just evades Alessandro Florenzi, before Hart smothers the second ball. Seconds later Miralem Pjanic curls a shot against the stanchion behind the goal.
It's all Roma for now.

HALF-TIME
PSG 2-1 Barcelona
Half-time at the Parc des Princes and Paris St-Germain head down the tunnel with their noses in front after Marco Verratti's header. The pace of the game settled down considerably after that goal, with neither side managing another shot on target before the break.

"Matic found himself free and he totally lost his marker. He had to generate his own power from the header to get it over the keeper, but a great finish."
GOAL
Sporting 0-1 Chelsea - Nemanja Matic (34 mins)
Booed as his name was read out, ex-Benfica man Nemanja Matic shuts the crowd up by heading Chelsea ahead with the simplest of goals. Cesc Fabregas gets another assist as his looping free-kick finds the midfielder at the back post, and he floats a header home. All too easy.

The oldest swinger in town does the damage! Francesco Totti, 38, becomes the oldest goalscorer in European competition history with a cheeky finish, chipping over the head of Joe Hart with a wonderful touch. He was onside, played in by Radja Nainggolan, and the finish was first-class.

"You'd expect that to be the tale of a side suffering at the bottom of the table - but the Hornets were second when Beppe Sannino quit on 31 August, more because of a failing relationship with players than anything else.
"And Garcia's departure was purely motivated by his desire to concentrate on recovering from the chest pains that put him in hospital for a week. Former Blackburn and Scotland midfielder McKinlay starts life as a manager with the visit of a Brentford side slowly finding their way in the Championship - they sit 12th in the table."
