Barca lose and Real win: Reaction

1. Ronaldo three short of scoring record
2. Benzema taps home second after Merino levels
3. FT: Celta Vigo 4-1 Barcelona
4. Barcelona trailed to Nolito's curling effort & Aspas's double
5. Neymar scored for Barca but Guidetti netted Celta's fourth

That is that from Europe for this evening.

Real Madrid joy, Barcelona misery and more Juventus frustration.

Cheers for your company. 

Until next time, I bid you farewell.

A man of extremes...

A brilliant night for Real Madrid then. They do their job in Bilbao while Barcelona crash to a stunning 4-1 defeat to Celta Vigo. Read that report here.

No one can argue Real Madrid didn't deserve the win going on the stats below...

Real Madrid move top of La liga...

Athletic are still attacking...

Entering three minutes of injury time. Will Real hold on?

Serie A full-time

Inter continue their perfect start to the Serie A season with a 1-0 win home win over Verona. More misery for Juventus though as they concede a late goal at home to Frosinone.

.

Good stop from Real's Keylor Navas as he turns Raul Garcia's looping header over.

Real's second really was a thing of beauty...

It just isn't Cristiano Ronaldo's night. He beats a couple of Athletic defenders as though they aren't there but, with just goalkeeper to beat, he drags a shot tamely wide. Into the last six minutes.

Sickening eh Kevin? Still, he will take the result...

By the way, Athletic's earlier equaliser means goalkeeper Keylor Navas misses out on breaking a 40-year old club record for the longest streak without conceding a goal by four minutes...

The hosts are pushing for a second leveller.

Athletic are still a threat as we enter the last 10 minutes. A free-kick is pumped into the penalty area and Raul Garcia prods the ball wide with an outstretched foot.

It's that man Aritz Aduriz again as his volley on the stretch is saved low down by Real goalkeeper Keylor Navas.

GOAL - Athletic Bilbao 1-2 Real Madrid

Luka Modric plays a sublime reverse pass to send Isco clear down the right. He crosses low and Karim Benzema just beats Cristiano Ronaldo to the ball to tap home.

GOAL - Athletic Bilbao 1-1 Real Madrid

A crazy night gets a little bit crazier as Sabin Merino scores his first goal for Athletic with a diving header. Anyone's game now.

AFP/GETTY

Aritz Aduriz is causing Real Madrid lots of problems., This time the forward is just unable to create space inside the penalty area.

Mikel San Jose then absolutely clobbers Luke Modric but he gets away with it...

PENALTY APPEAL

Athletic are furious. They are adamant Aritz Aduriz's powerful volley hits Pepe on the hand inside the penalty area. Play is waved on and rightly so as that strikes his back.

Marcelo sends in a hopeful cross towards Cristiano Ronaldo at the far post. He loses out and the ball deflects of him for a goal kick.

Bilbao are giving this a go. Their final ball isn't there but they are getting in some decent positions. If they force an equaliser, Celta Vigo will finish the day top of La Liga...

GREAT SAVE!

Some hope for the home fans as Aritz Aduriz shoots low from 20 yards and it is parried wide by goalkeeper Keylor Navas. He is closing in on that clean sheet record...

Real Madrid are on top. Karim Benzema has a shooting chance but he dallies and his effort is deflected over.

KICK-OFF

Keylor Navas is about 24 minutes away from making the best La Liga start for a Real Madrid goalkeeper without conceding.

Game back under way.

GREAT SAVE!

A brilliant save at either end. First Real goalkeeper Keylor Navas keeps out Aritz Aduriz's header, before Mateo Kovacic is denied a Real second by goalkeeper Gorka Iraizoz. An open match.

GOAL - Celta Vigo 4-1 Barcelona

Wow. Driving run down the right from Hugo Mallo. His cross is controlled by Celta sub and ex-Manchester City striker John Guidetti, before he calmly dispatches the ball into the net. Celta are in dream world.

GOAL - Celta Vigo 3-1 Barcelona

As I was saying....

Neymar wakes from his slumbers to brilliantly control Lionel Messi's through ball before driving home from an angle. Into the last 10 minutes. They can't can they?

It is easy to forget that Neymar is playing. The Brazilian has been so ineffectual this evening...

Reuters

Time is ticking for Barca. Andres Iniesta whips in a cross from the right but Dani Alves never looks like scoring as he puts a header over the bar. 

Raul Garcia kicks the post in frustration as the Bilbao midfielder sees his close-range goal bound shot deflected wide.

Barcelona are piling forward for a goal to give them hope but it is Celta Vigo looking the more dangerous on the break. Barca have been shocking defensively.

Real Madrid are on top. A quick break, started by Cristiano Ronaldo, ends with Toni Kroos bending a shot over the bar from Karim Benzema's pull back.

Cristiano Ronaldo is just three goals shy of becoming Real Madrid's all-time top scorer. He goes for goal from outside the penalty area but his shot is blocked...

GOAL - Athletic Bilbao 0-1 Real Madrid

What a gift for Real Madrid. Goalkeeper Gorka Iraizoz passes the ball short to Mikel San Jose. The midfielder leaves his back pass short and Karim Benzema steals in to tap home. Awful from the hosts.

CLOSE!

Celta goalkeeper Sergio Alvarez is having an inspired evening as he keeps out Rafinha's strike.

Seconds later, Nolito is sent through  a non existent Barcelona defence but he slides the ball inches wide. It should be 4-0.

It's quite even at Bilbao, where neither side have managed to create too much. Will the score from Barca have filtered through to Real?

GOAL - Celta Vigo 3-0 Barcelona

A classic breakaway goal. Iago Aspas races clear of the Barcelona defence, he has ages to think about what to do next, but doesn't dally and slots the ball into the corner. His second of the game.

Barca striker Luis Suarez is just standing there shaking his head. Incredible.

AFP/GETTY

CLOSE!

Gerard Pique sends a bullet header just over the bar. Barcelona are on top at last...

Seconds later Lionel Messi is sent through and his shot is parried away by goalkeeper Sergio Alvarez.

What a miss!

Lionel Messi doesn't miss those... yes he does.

Brilliant from Andres Iniesta as he drives into the penalty area and squares for Messi. The Argentine has half the goal empty but he side foots against the post and Iniesta is unable to convert the rebound.

It is getting a bit tasty now as Celta leave the foot in...

Getty Images

CLOSE!

That is inches away from a third. Iago Aspas outsprints a hesitant Barca defence. He is through on goal but, this time, he slides his shot inches wide of the post. That would surely have been game over?

CLOSE!

Real Madrid break but Karim Benzema drags wide of the far post.

Not much report after 20 minutes in Italy...

.

Athletic Bilbao are up for this as Aritz Aduriz goes close. At the other end, Iso looks set to volley home until Karim Benzema takes the ball of his foot. Open start.

KICK-OFF

Celta fans hum the theme tune of the A-team - not sure why - as the game gets going. They love it when a plan comes together.

LINE-UPS

Athletic Bilbao XI: Iraizoz, De Marcos, Etxeita, Laporte, Balenziaga, San José, BeNat, RaUl García, Susaeta, Sabin Merino y Aduriz.

Real Madrid XI: Keylor Navas; Carvajal, Pepe, Varane, Marcelo; Kovacic, Kroos, Modrić; Isco, Cristiano, Benzema.

KICK-OFF

A Barcelona defeat coupled with a Real win, would send the latter top of La Liga. Game on.

The Bilbao fans are bouncing. They can sniff an upset, kick-off in a couple of minutes.

It isn't all about goals scored though...

Navas will break Iker Casillas’ club record for the longest start to a season without conceding a goal if he keeps out Athletic in the opening 10 minutes. 

He does Ron, Ron

.

Cristiano Ronaldo loves a record doesn't he? His 321 goals for Real have come in just 305 appearances. It took Raul 741 games to reach 323 goals.

The Portuguese is already Real's top La Liga scorer, he has the most hat-tricks in La Liga history, he is the only player in history to have scored 60 or more goals in a calendar year four times, has scored the most goals in Champions League history...

I could go on....

HALF-TIME

Nolito and Iago Aspas (yes Liverpool fans, you heard that right) are running rings around Barcelona's defence. This time, good combination by them ends with Hugo Mallo firing over from 20 yards.

That's that for the first half.

Every Celta touch is being greeted with a roar from the home fans. Surely they can't believe the way this match is going? Nothing lucky about this lead though - they deserve it.

CLOSE!

It looks as though Barca are going to get one back as Neymar controls the ball inside the penalty area, cuts inside and shoots goalwards. Great defending from Carlos Planas deflects it wide...

As it stands, Celta Vigo will be going top of La Liga. Real Madrid would move above them with a win at Bilbao though.

Celta Vigo look as though they have got a third goal in them. Barcelona are absolutely shell shocked and I am not surprised - they have looked awful.

GOAL - Celta Vigo 2-0 Barcelona

What is going on here? Gerard Pique is horribly sloppy in possession. He is dispossessed by Nolito, who sends Iago Aspas through on goal.

The ex-Liverpool man advances towards goal and cheekily dinks the ball into the net. Scenes.

Reuters

Barcelona may be top of the league with a 100% record but they haven't yet scored a first-half goal this season in La Liga. Fair to say they haven't started well tonight either.

GOAL - Celta Vigo 1-0 Barcelona

Brilliant from Nolito. The former Barcelona youth man collects the ball on the left edge of the penalty area, looks up and bends it into the far top corner.

His fifth goal of the campaign and it is a stunner.

Barcelona have hardly been in the match but they are almost ahead. Andres Iniesta slips Lionel Messi through on goal and his first-time shot is beaten away by goalkeeper Sergio Alvarez.

Not bad for a 32-year-old... Barcelona were 4-1 winners but the defender is being made to look silly early by a skilful Nolito.

Barcelona can't get out of their own half. It is all Celta and Iago Aspas is inches away from going clear on goal. Good stretched clearance from Gerard Pique.

Celta Vigo are the dominant force early on. In-form midfielder Nolito wants to get on the ball at every opportunity and Barca are looking a little sloppy.

You're not wrong. Incredible stuff...

Bright start from Celta but what is former Liverpool man Iago Aspas doing there? The forward is clear down the left channel but from just inside the penalty area he drags a cross wildly across goal. Should do better.

KICK-OFF

Away we go...

The Celta fans are in full voice, the scarves are raised, and the teams are out. This has the makings of a cracker.

Five minutes away from kick off and the atmosphere is building in Vigo.

Don't forget Celta beat Barca in the Camp Nou last season and are unbeaten this time round.

Perfect Dortmund

What a difference a season makes...

This time last season Jurgen Klopp's Borussia Dortmund were stuck in a relegation scrap.

This campaign, they have won all 11 games since new coach Thomas Tuchel was appointed - a club record winning run.

A win at home to Mainz tonight could lift them back above Bayern Munich to top spot.

Defending champions Paris St-Germain stretched their unbeaten run at the top of Ligue 1 to four points with a 3-0 win over Guingamp on Tuesday.

It looks ominous for their rivals as Zlatan Ibrahimovic finally bagged his first for the season and former Manchester United man Angel Di Maria netted his maiden goal in France.

But Rennes and St Etienne can both trim PSG's lead back to a point as they visit Gazelec Ajaccio and Troyes - most games are already underway..

Serie A round-up

Inter Milan haven't won Serie A since 2010 but, whisper it quietly, could this be their year?

Inter are at Verona tonight, with the Old Lady entertaining Frosinone.

History in the making?

An hour after Barcelona kick off, Real Madrid will be underway in Bilbao and it could prove a landmark moment.

Portugal's Cristiano Ronaldo needs a treble to overtake Raul's Real Madrid goal scoring record of 323 goals

Spanish La Liga

Ronaldo and Messi aren't used to not being the centre of attention when it comes to goal records in Europe's top leagues.

Tonight Messi's Barcelona travel to Celta Vigo looking to make it five wins out of five in La Liga, while Ronaldo's Real bid to retain their unbeaten start at Athletic Bilbao.

The duo couldn't take the limelight away from Lewandowski... could they?

Fantastic five

Hello and, yes, 24 hours on and Bayern Munich's Robert Lewandowski is still very much the talk of Europe.

The Pole broke all sorts of records as he banged in five goals in nine second half minutes, having come on as a substitute, to help Bayern come from behind to beat Wolfsburg and retain their 100% Bundesliga start. 

It was the fastest five-goal haul in a major European league since Opta started recording stats.

Over to you Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi...

Anything you can do...

You can imagine two similar conversations being held in a household in Barcelona and Madrid last night...

"Hey Cristiano/ Leo (delete as applicable), did you see what did Robert Lewandowski last night?"

"What's that? Oh, scoring five goals? So what, we've all done that haven't we?"

"Not in nine minutes you haven't..."

Silence for a couple of minutes......

"Nine minutes you say? Right, who have we got tomorrow?..."
