RESULTS
That's the last kick at the Veledrome, and there's also wins for Bayern Barcelona, Chelsea and Newcastle.
Atalanta have lost in a big blow to their automatic qualification hopes but Athleltic are still alive in the competition.
There is just two points between 5th and 15th ahead of next Wednesday's 18-game bonanza. Chaos incoming.
GOAL! 3-0 TO LIVERPOOL!
A perfect night is capped off by a fine Cody Gakpo finish.
Just the result Arne Slot needed.
Whistles being blown around Europe with just a few games still on.
LIFELINE FOR ATALANTA!
Nikola Krstović taps into an empty net after a cut back from Ademola Lookman.
They now trail 3-2 but there is still time for an equaliser...
There is set to be just two points between 5th and 15th in the table.
18 games all at the same time next Wednesday. Buckle up.
AND A MISSED PENALTY FOR KANE!
Who saw that coming?
After scoring one earlier, he misses his second and the chance for a hat-trick, hitting the post.
It's likely not to matter here.
BENFICA MISS PENALTY IN TURIN!
Vangelis Pavlidis is usually so cool from the spot but he has had a moment to forget here.
He slips and hits the ball with his standing foot, sending it very wide of the goal.
Mourinho doesn't look angry at his star man. In fairness, it is rotten luck.
CHELSEA FINALLY TAKE THE LEAD!
Pathos are breached at last.
Moisés Caicedo reacts quickest to a flick on at a corner to power a header into the net.
Big, big goal for the Blues.
NAVARRO MAKES IT 3-1 IN BERGAMO!
What a turnaround.
Athletic keep their hopes alive of qualification and it's the man who got the assist for the second who has got their third.
Fine finish too.
LEWANDOWSKI SCORES AT THE RIGHT END!
Game over? At last?
The Polish icon gets his 106th goal in the competition and his first this season, finishing at the second attempt from Marcus Rashford's cross.
LIVERPOOL DOUBLE THEIR LEAD!
It's looking like a brilliant night for Arne Slot and his side in the south of France.
Jeremie Frimpong has made it 2-0 and that should be game over.
He moves down the byline and pokes the ball into the box. It goes in off Facundo Medina but he's claiming it.
BARNES DOES IT AGAIN! 3-0!
Harvey Barnes had four goals in the Champions League before tonight.
He now has five and it's game over at St. James'.
The winger dances through the PSV defence for his 12th of a brilliant season.
Could he force his way into Thomas Tuchel's England plans or might he yet play for Scotland at next summer's World Cup?
ATHLETIC TURN IT AROUND!
Disaster for Atalanta as Nico Serrano comes off the bench to give Athletic the lead.
It's a truly stunning cross from Robert Navarro that tees up the forward to finish at the back post.
20 minutes for the Serie A side to rescue it.
BARCELONA MAKE IT 3-2!
Dani Olmo puts them back in the lead with a stunning finish from the edge of the box.
Barely off the bench and he's stuck one in the top corner.
Can they now kick on and secure a crucial win?
RED CARD FOR BAYERN!
Kim Min-jae is off for a second yellow and he and his teammates can't believe it.
Doesn't look like there's much for the South Korean defender to complain about.
Can Union take advantage?
JUVE DOUBLE THEIR LEAD!
Weston McKennie joins his midfield partner on the scoresheet with a neat finish from inside the box - three Champions League games in a row he's now scored in.
Is that game over or can Mourinho do something?
Khéphren joins brother Marcus and father Lillian as a Champions League goal scorer.
Quite the legacy.
GOAL FOR ATHLETIC CLUB!
The Basques have barely had a sniff but Gorka Guruzeta has levelled things up in Bergamo.
Cool finish but Atalanta will be kicking themselves.
KANE AT THE DOUBLE!
Two in the space of three minutes and this one comes from the penalty spot.
Game over and Bayern are going to second in the table.
JUVE TAKE THE LEAD!
Big goal in Turin and it's Khéphren Thuram who's got his first in the Champions League.
He powers through and smashes home. Great time to get it.
GOAL FOR BAYERN!
Union held out for the entire first half but concede right away after the break.
Michael Olise whips a corner in and Harry Kane heads in. He was unmarked somehow.
33rd of the season for the England captain.
Back underway for what is a huge 45 minutes ahead of next week's final night.
HALF TIME!
Liverpool, Newcastle and Atalanta lead at the break and are all in the top eight as things stand.
Such is the tightness of the table, goals are sending teams up and down it.
Manchester City are now in 10th. How costly might that shock loss in the arctic circle be?
SZOBOSZLAI STRIKES!
Who else?
Liverpool's leading light this season, Dominik Szoboszlai, puts a free-kick underneath the Marseille wall and into the bottom corner.
Poor from the Ligue 1 side but the Hungarian has done it again on a big night in Europe.
The Reds lead at the break and are currently sat in fifth.
PRAHA LEVEL RIGHT AWAY!
Barcelona are great fun to watch but they simply cannot defend.
It's another corner and another goal for Praha, with Robert Lewandowski deflecting the ball into his own net.
Their lead lasted barely a minute.
LOPEZ AT THE DOUBLE!
Barça have turned this game around and it is all thanks to Fermín López.
Pedri plays him the ball on the edge of the box in an acre of space and he smashes into the bottom corner.
Could do with a few more goals elsewhere.
Bayern and Chelsea will be disappointed if they go in at the break level but credit to Union SG and Pathos.
GOAL IN PRAGUE!
And Barça have equalised through Fermín López, who smashes in at the near post after being played in by Frenkie de Jong.
The Slavia keeper will not want to see that one back.
NEWCASTLE DOUBLE THEIR LEAD!
Newcastle make it 2-0 and it's another horror show at the back from PSV.
This one is far worse than the first with Yarek Gasiorowski making an absolute mess of a pass back, allowing Wissa to nip and poke the ball to Anthony Gordon.
It's the easiest of finishes into an empty net for the England winger, who now has six goals in seven Champions League games this season - a total contrast to his Premier League form.
DISALLOWED GOAL FOR LIVERPOOL!
Hugo Ekitike has the ball in the net with a fine finish at the end of a good Liverpool move but he is just offside.
A quick check and the goal is ruled out.
Needless to say, the home fans are loving it.
Alexis Mac Allister puts just one past the post as Liverpool come close to taking the lead.
They've started well in the Veledrome.
DISALLOWED GOAL FOR CHELSEA!
Enzo Fernández heads in from Malo Gusto's cross but is instantly adjudged to have pushed a defender before getting to the ball.
Very harsh call.
Surely it won't be long before the Blues take the lead.
GOAL FOR ATALANTA!
Gianluca Scamacca only scored his first Champions League goal in the final game before Christmas, but he's now got a second.
A typical No. 9 header from inside the box and as stands the Bergamo club are third in the table!
GOAL FOR SLAVIA - BARCELONA BEHIND!
Ooh do we have a shock result on the cards in Prague?
Vasil Kušej bundles the ball home at the back post after Barcelona fail to deal with a corner.
The home crowd are bouncing.
You don't need sound to know how loud St. James' was at this very moment.
GOAL! NEWCASTLE LEAD!
Yoane Wissa grabs his first goal in the Champions League and it's a dream start for the Magpies.
PSV keeper Matěj Kovář makes a mess of clearing the ball, sending it straight to Bruno Guimarães, who finds Joelinton before the ball comes to Wissa, who makes no mistake from close range.
Big goal.
Joe Gomez - who has never scored a senior goal - heads wide from an early Mohamed Salah corner.
What a story it would be if he scored tonight.
Newcastle-PSV is definitely a game to keep an eye on tonight.
Eddie Howe's side could be in the top eight with a win but PSV have not lost away from home since March amazingly.
They already have won in England in this season's competition - a stunning 4-1 win at Anfield in November.
Can they do it again tonight?
KICK OFF!
And we're off.
Huge games on the penultimate night of action before a mad final night next Wednesday.
FULL TIME!
Qarabağ 3-2 Eintracht Frankfurt
Galatasaray 1-1 Atlético Madrid
QARABAG HAVE WON IT!
Incredible scenes.
With time running out, Behlul Mustafazade has grabbed what is surely the winner for the Azerbaijani champions.
HUGE CHANCE FOR GALA!
Simeone has Jan Oblak and Llorente to thank for holding onto a point here.
The Atléti keeper makes an excellent stop from close range before the midfielder gets the ball away from the danger zone.
Quite the night for him having scored an own goal earlier on.
Five minutes added on at the Ali Sami Yen Sports Complex.
A draw feels fair but will we get a winner?
GOALS IN QARABAG!
After waiting an age for the third goal of the game, we get two in the space of three minutes.
Farès Chaïbi gives Frankfurt the lead for the first time from the spot but his strike is almost instantly cancelled out by Camilo Durán who grabs his second of the night.
Incredible drama in Azerbaijan.
Half an hour to go in our two early kick offs.
Atlético are currently in eighth spot in the table but will shoot all the way up to fourth if they can grab a winner in Istanbul.
Big moves will be made if any of the four sides win in truth.
Osimhen plays a glorious ball into the path of Sane but the Germany international can't get the pass under control and goes down under a challenge. There's plenty of shouts from the crowd but the referee waves play on.
There seems to be a slight issue with the Liverpool XI so here it is again. Salah starts!
We have kick off in both of the early matches!
The Chelsea XI ...
The Liverpool XI ...

The Bayern XI ...
Here is the Barcelona XI ...
It may be the break here but stay tuned as we'll have the team news for the rest of tonight's games any moment now.
We'll have no added time in Azerbaijan. We go into the break Qarabag 1-1 Frankfurt.
HALF TIME! Galatasary 1-1 Atlético de Madrid
It's all-square in Istanbul as a breathless first half comes to a close.
We're into added time in Istanbul.
CHANCE!
Another chance for Gala but this time it's Baris who goes close. Some great work from Sane down the right hand side sees the forward all alone at the back post but his shot skies over the bar.
Osimhen thought he was in on goal but the Gala striker was deemed to have handled inside the area. Immediately at the other end Sorloth strikes but his effort is saved with ease.
CHANCE!
Some brilliant individual work from Leandro Andrade sees the Qarabag man bear down on goal, but the Brazilian forward's effort goes just over the bar.
CHANCE!
A great cross from the right was whipped into Osimhen's direction, but the Nigeria international couldn't quite get his head on the ball. That was close.
A promising attacking position comes to nothing for Atleti with the Spanish side trying to overplay on the break. A cross from Simeone was lofted towards Sorloth but the ball went miles out of play.
We've got 15 minutes left of the first halves. I wouldn't bet against another goal somewhere in the next quarter of an hour.
Victor Osimhen does brilliantly to hold up the ball but is fouled by Marc Pubill. The ensuing tussle results in a bit of a scrap between the two sides a a yellow card for the Atleti defender.
Atleti haven't been deterred by that equaliser and are pushing to retake the lead. An short corner from the visitors sees Julian Alvarez whip in a cross but it's punched away. Simeone's side are looking dangerous here though.
GOAL! Galatasaray 1-1 Atleti
And just as we say that, Gala have scored. Some great play down the right-hand side sees Llorente tap the ball into his own net. The hosts are back in it!
We're seconding this. The Atleti man has been excellent so far.
Leroy Sane goes on the charge for Gala but he's blocked on the edge of the area. the temperature has definitely lifted here in Istanbul. But can the home side respond with an equaliser?
GOAL! Qarabag 1-1 Frankfurt
We have another goal and this time it's Frankfurt. Can Uzun glides past one and then coolly slots into the far corner from the edge of the area.
That's Duran's third goal in seven Champions League matches this season. He won't score an easier one all season to be fair.
GOAL! Qarabag 1-0 Frankfurt
Another goal, this time for Qaragag as they open up Frankfurt with a swift passing move with Duran bundling in.
GOAL! Galatasaray 0-1 Atlético de Madrid
That didn't take long. Atleti hit Gala on the break and Simeone was there to head home after just five minutes.
The atmosphere is electric in Istanbul right now - when is it not? Gala are pushing for that opening goal but have left themselves open at the back!
I take that back, we're definitely not underway in Qarabag. The referee has just blown his whistle though, so we could be kick off very soon.
WE HAVE KICK OFF! Both games are underway.
It's a big milestone for Atleti goalkeeper Jan Oblak, who plays his 100th game in the Champions League tonight.
This is your five minute warning for kick off!
Atleti are in 10th going into tonight's clash and could go into third place with a win. Gala meanwhile are down in 18th with three wins from their six matches.
Here are the XIs for both games ...

And Gala vs Atleti

We've got two matches up now with Eintracht Frankfurt at Qarabag and a huge game between Galatasaray and Atlético de Madrid.
Good evening everyone and welcome to our live blog as the Champions League returns for its penultimate Wednesday. We have nine more matches for you today with arguably the biggest coming from the south of France as Marseille take on a beleaguered Liverpool side desperate for a win.
