⏪ Real & Valverde smash Man City, PSG hit Chelsea for five, Bodø win again | OneFootball

WEDNESDAY'S FIXTURES

FULL TIME!

Real Madrid 3-0 Man City

PSG 5-2 Chelsea

Bodø/Glimt 3-0 Sporting

GOAL! FIVE FOR PSG!

How big could that be?

Kvara gets another, finishing from inside the box after a rapid PSG break.

That could be the tie.

Three minutes also added on in the Parc des Princes.

Lee Kang-in has the ball in the goal but it's ruled out for an offside in the build up.

Chelsea need to make sure they don't concede again late on here.

Into added time in Madrid.

City have been utterly hopeless tonight but can they get something late on? They might need it to keep this tie alive.

It's very harsh on Chelsea but the holders have shown why they are still the team to beat despite their relative struggles this season.

The quality in their side and especially in their front six is quite something.

GOAL! KVARADONA! 4-2!

What an absolute screamer from the Georgian superstar.

He gets the ball wide left, shimmies and cuts inside before unleashing a brilliant curled effort that flies into the far corner.

He's come off the bench and made a massive difference.

Liam Delap is on for Cole Palmer and his first effort is miles wide of the goal.

Just the one goal for the striker so far with the Blues.

Haaland comes off for Omar Marmoush.

That says just about everything about both his and City's night.

DISALLOWED GOAL FOR CHELSEA!

Enzo is just offside coming back from play in the build up to João Pedro slotting home moments later.

So tight. What a game.

GOAL! 3-2 TO PSG!

Oh no... Filip Jörgensen has had a nightmare here.

He tries to play out from the back and has his pass intercepted. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia then plays it to Vitinha, who finishes brilliantly with a lobbed volley.

All of Chelsea's hard work goes to waste.

3-0 TO BODO!

Kasper Høgh bundles the ball in from close range and it's party time in the Arctic Circle.

What a remarkable story.

City looking for a way back into this tie but they are struggling to create anything.

Erling Haaland has barely had a kick.

GREAT SAVE!

Sporting are looking for a way back into this game but Nikita Haikin makes a fine stop from Luis Suárez (no, not that one!)

GOAL! CHELSEA MAKE IT 2-2!

And what a brilliant goal it is.

Neto pinches the ball off PSG before flying down the wing and playing the ball across for Enzo Fernández who strokes the ball home beautifully.

What a game!

DONNARUMMA SAVES!

It's a far too casual spot kick from Vini and the big Italian gets down to palm it away.

How big could that be?

PENALTY TO REAL MADRID!

It's more horrific defending from City who play a high line that Real easily cut through.

Vini goes through before drawing the foul from Donnarumma.

Incredible stuff.

That could be said for any of the three games in truth.

So much at stake here even with it only being the first legs.

PSG and Chelsea have gone toe to toe all night and that's continued after the break.

The next goal feels massive.

City start the second half as they ended the first - all over the place.

Brahim Díaz dances his way through but Donnarumma is on hand to make a key save.

This could get ugly.

Tijjani Reijnders is on for Savinho while Ferland Mendy has been replaced by Fran Garcia.

Will that change anything in this game? City need something.

BACK UNDER WAY!

What will this 45 minutes have in store for us?

HALF TIME!

What a stunning 45 minutes of football all round but particularly from Fede Valverde and Bodø/Glimt.

BODO MAKE IT TWO!

Ole Blomberg makes no mistake when the ball falls his way and the Norwegians are in dreamland. Again!

What a story.

GOAL! VALVERDE HAT-TRICK!!!

Absolutely incredible.

The Real Madrid skipper scores the first hat-trick of his career and it's a stunning goal.

He runs onto Brahim Diaz's lofted ball and takes a phenomenal touch over City defenders before smashing into the bottom corner.

GOAL! PSG MAKE IT 2-1!

And it's the Ballon d'Or holder Ousmane Dembélé!

The ball goes from one end to the other with Cole Palmer coming close before the Frenchman gets away from James and fires home.

PENALTY TO BODO!

It's all happening now.

GOAL! CHELSEA LEVEL!

Not a bad time for Malo Gusto to get his first-ever Champions League goal!

The French full-back takes aim after the ball is spread his way and he fires past Safonov, who gets a despairing hand to it.

Massive goal for the Blues.

GOAL! VALVERDE AT THE DOUBLE!

It's all going wrong for City in the Bernabéu!

Real's skipper plays Captain Marvel once more, firing past Donnarumma with a lovely finish after Vini Jr.'s ball is deflected into his path.

Jörgensen stops Barcola from getting his second with another good save.

Chelsea are playing well but they need to make sure they get the next goal.

It's one long ball from Thibaut Courtois that Nico O'Reilly makes a mess of, allowing the Real skipper to close in on Gianluigi Donnarumma.

The big Italian comes out and is nutmegged before Valverde slots in.

Big moment.

GOAL! REAL TAKE THE LEAD!

City have been the better side but Real are the ones who have taken the lead.

Federico Valverde is the scorer of yet another crucial goal but it's an absolute horror show from City.

Sporting started well in Norway but Bodø have started to get into the groove.

CLOSE FOR CHELSEA!

From almost 2-0 to almost 1-1.

The Blues break brilliantly with Pedro Neto charging towards the box.

He doesn't really shoot or cross and a combination of Nuno Mendes and Matvey Safonov keep the ball out.

Cracking start in Paris.

OFF THE BAR!

Dembélé almost makes it 2-0 with a fierce strike that Filip Jörgensen does well to push onto the woodwork.

Chelsea need to be careful here.

Jérémy Doku has been City's main threat in a positive start from Pep Guardiola's side.

He's faced Trent Alexander-Arnold before and their battle tonight could be pivotal.

GOAL! PSG TAKE THE LEAD!

The champions have started very well after that early Chelsea chance and now have the lead through Bradley Barcola.

Ousmane Dembélé puts a ball into the box and João Neves tees it up for the Frenchman to smash the ball into the top corner.

Brilliant finish and a dream start for Luis Enrique.

CHANCE FOR CHELSEA!

Given he's scored 11 goals in his last 12 games, that is a real chance for João Pedro.

He gets a touch on Reece James' fine cross into the box but can't guide towards goal.

With Kylian Mbappé, Jude Bellingham, Rodrygo and others all out, this is a great opportunity for City.

Real have knocked them out in three of the last four seasons so there's a semblance of revenge on the cards here too.

KICK OFF!

And we're underway in Paris, Madrid and the Arctic Circle!

Less than five minutes to go until our three later kick offs.

A thrilling night of action is in store. Stay with us throughout!

FULL TIME!

Kai Havertz comes back to haunt his former club and rescue a late, late draw for Arsenal.

They'll do it all over again next Tuesday at the Emirates.

Rice whips in a late, late corner that is almost headed goal bound but there is holding. And that's that.

Three minutes of added time.

Will there be any more drama here?

GOAL! ARSENAL LEVEL!

Havertz makes no mistake with a very cool penalty that goes into the bottom corner.

He doesn't celebrate but what a moment that is.

Arsenal have stolen a draw.

The decision stands. Huge moment in the tie.

Havertz is taking it against his former club with Saka and others off.

PENALTY TO ARSENAL!

Madueke is taken down by Malik Tillman but it's being checked by VAR.

Timber heads over from inside the box.

It looks like being one of those nights.

It's been half an hour since Arsenal had an effort on goal. Damning.

Noni Madueke - who came on for the ineffective Saka - puts a corner in that is easily cleared away.

His next cross is better but Leverkusen are holding firm.

Jurrien Timber gets into the box after some neat interplay but Leverkusen get the ball away.

Arsenal have barely had a real chance.

Viktor Gyökeres makes way for the German, who receives a huge welcome from the home fans.

A nice moment for Havertz especially given he couldn't say farewell due to the pandemic five years ago.

Kai Havertz is about to come on against his boyhood club.

The forward left Leverkusen for Chelsea in a big-money move in the summer of 2021.

Can he now come back to haunt them and rescue Arsenal?

Martin Zubimendi goes into the book for a tackle on Exequiel Palacios.

The midfielder got the ball before the man. Very harsh.

Leverkusen are camped behind the ball but the Gunners are struggling to break them down.

Just over 20 to go.

Leverkusen managing to dull Arsenal's biggest weapon so far.

Doué and Neves start as PSG name their XI for tonight's clash with Chelsea.

GOAL! Bayer Leverkusen 1-0 Arsenal

Andrich opens the scoring! Set-pieces are so often the Gunners' strengths but they've been beaten at their own game as the Leverkusen skipper pounces to head in at the back post.

Semenyo and Guehi make their Champions League debuts for Man City tonight in Madrid.

Rosenior's big decision is in. Jørgensen starts between the posts for Chelsea.

HALF-TIME: Leverkusen 0-0 Arsenal

There's yet to be a breakthrough, although the Gunners have rattled the crossbar.

Real Madrid's starting line-up is in for their clash with Manchester City.

An interesting blocking method from Gabriel.

That Martinelli opportunity.

So close to the opener! Martinelli smashes the crossbar for the visitors.

In some non-game related breaking news, EA Sports FC have dropped their latest Team of the Week. This is who made it.

And it may get worse for Andrich.

🟨 Early blow for Leverkusen! Andrich goes into the referee's book with less than two minutes played.

KICK-OFF!

We're underway between Bayer Leverkusen and Arsenal.

And the stage is set as the famous music rings out around the BayArena.

A nice touch ahead of kick-off for their former hero.

Twenty minutes until showtime at the BayArena.

Will Leverkusen's wingers have any joy tonight?

Ahead of kick-off, some Arsenal transfer news to be aware of.

The Bayer Leverkusen line-up tonight.

Arsenal's starting line-up is in, with William Saliba returning and Bukayo Saka skippering the side.
