The Champions League action continues relentlessly with matchday two action tonight.

Keep checking back for the latest updates.

Lokomotiv Moscow 1-2 Bayern Munich

Scorers: Miranchuk 70′; Goretzka 13′, Kimmich 79′

Bayern Munich surprisingly slipped up to drop their first Champions League group stage points since 2018 when they were punished away to Lokomotiv Moscow.

Thirteen may be unlucky for some but not for Bayern Munich, who extended their Champions League winning streak to that amount with a nervy win in Moscow.

A wonderful lifted pass from Corentin Tolisso was whipped across goal by Benjamin Pavard and headed in at the near post by Leon Goretzka.

Anton Miranchuk calmly slotted home from a low cross in the closing stages to level and after his side missed several big openings to go in front, they were, naturally, punished.

Joshua Kimmich was given too much time on the edge of the area to time a volley perfectly, finding the corner to spare Bayern’s blushes.

Shakhtar Donetsk 0-0 Inter

Inter triumphed 5-0 in these sides’ Europa League semi-final meeting just over two months ago and enjoyed more domination here, albeit without the goals to go with it.

Nicolò Barella and Romelu Lukaku both hit the woodwork on this occasion but no goal was forthcoming as they picked up their second point from as many games.
