Champions League LIVE: Real Madrid vs Shakhtar Donetsk, Man City vs Club Brugge, Liverpool vs Atletico Madrid, RB Leipzig vs PSG and all the action

Sterling with a tap-in that you or I could have scored. Great work from Gundogan to get into space in the box before rocketing a cross towards Sterling. The England winger taps it home from inside a few yards and that should just about do it.&nbsp; <center> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"> A Manchester City goal if ever you've seen one!

Benzema is inevitable

Another day, another full slate of THE CHAMPIONSSSS. We're back with another big day of Champions League games, which are set to begin in about 45 minutes or so. Goal will be here all day to provide you with updates and insight into what should be another fun one.

Welcome to Goal's matchday blog!

Thanks for sticking with us through yet another wild Champions League day. We've still got plenty of coverage/discussion of today's coming so keep your eyes on Goal! Until next time!&nbsp;

That's all for tonight!

With his goal tonight, Sebastien Haller became only the fifth player in Champions League history to score in each of his first four appearances in the competition. He joins Ze Carlos (1993), Alessandro Del Piero (1995), Diego Costa (2014) and Erling Haaland (2019). What a list that is!&nbsp; <center> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-partner="tweetdeck"> Sebastien Haller has SEVEN goals in the <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/UCL?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#UCL</a> this season 🔥 <a href="https://t.co/84pl75jbX6">pic.twitter.com/84pl75jbX6</a> — Goal (@goal) <a href="https://twitter.com/goal/status/1456021003428106251?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 3, 2021</a></blockquote> <script async="async" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></center>

How good is Haller?

"I thought we were sloppy in the first half and let them get back into the game. We got in at half-time and spoke about what was going wrong," Manchester City midfilelder Phil Foden told BT Sport. "We changed it in the second half and played better. We looked a bit heavy. "The manager wasn't happy [at half-time]. You have to take his advice. We changed a couple of things and were better in possession and hurt them a lot more."

Foden: Guardiola wasnt't happy

Group of death, eh? Liverpool are through to the last 16 as group winners with two games to spare. As a result, Jurgen Klopp can rotate a bit for games against Milan and Porto going forward.&nbsp;

Liverpool are through!

The results from today: Liverpool 2 - 0 Atletico Madrid RB Leipzig 2 - 2 PSG Manchester CIty 4 -1 Club Brugge Sporting CP 4 - 0 Besiktas Dortmund 1 - 3 Ajax Sheriff 1 - 3 Inter Milan 1 - 1 Porto Real Madrid 2 - 1 Shakhtar Donetsk

FINAL

That'll do it for Ajax, as Klassen taps in from close range. Two late goals from the Dutch giants as Dortmund will be left fuming from that Hummels dismissal.&nbsp;

GOAL AJAX! (1-3)

After a quick VAR review and some PSG protests, RB Leipzig are given a penalty, which is taken by Szsoboslai. Donnarumma dives the rigth way, but he just can't quite reach it as RB Leipzig level the scoreline.&nbsp;

GOAL RB LEIPZIG! (2-2)

Add Gabriel Jesus to the scoresheet for Manchester City as he makes it 4-1. A good win from Manchester City, despite that nervy moment in the first haf.&nbsp;

GOAL MANCHESTER CITY (4-1)

A consolation goal for the hosts, as Adama Traore scores to make it 3-1.&nbsp;

GOAL SHERIFF (1-3)

HALLER! He was the competition's leading scorer through three games, and he's back on the scoresheet. Haller with his seventh in four games now as he continues to score and score. This result, if it stands, would put Ajax through to the knockouts.&nbsp;

GOAL AJAX! (2-1)

Just moments after coming on, Alexis Sanchez scored Inter's third of the night. The former Arsenal/Manchester United star's first Champions League goal since 2017.

GOAL INTER! (0-3)

A big goal for Ajax, who finally get on the board against 10-man Dortmund. Tadic with the finish, although he may have injured himself in the process. A deflected cross finds its way to Tadic ont eh back post, and he makes no mistake to level the score at one apiece.&nbsp;

GOAL AJAX! (1-1)

Trent Alexander-Arnold has 44 assists since the start of the 2018-19 season. That's the most from a Premier League player not named Kevin De Bruyne, who has 51 in that span. <center> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"> 'Trent Alexander-Arnold, how may I assist you?' 🤝 <a href="https://t.co/AC9jUquGU1">pic.twitter.com/AC9jUquGU1</a> — Goal (@goal) <a href="https://twitter.com/goal/status/1455993042528358401?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 3, 2021</a></blockquote> <script async="async" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></center>

Not bad for a fullback

Make it 2-0 to Inter as Skriniar fires from close range after behind denied twice in quick succession.&nbsp; Inter seem to be on the right track here.&nbsp;

GOAL INTER! (0-2)

<center> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"> 6 - Six of Riyad Mahrez's 14 UEFA Champions League goals have come against Club Brugge; against no other opponent has he scored more than three in the competition.

Mahrez loves playing Brugge

This one is over. Sarabia with the goal and Sporting CP are clear. If you're a Besiktas fan, turn this one off.

GOAL SPORTING CP (4-0)

Suarez at Anfield! It had to be him, didn't it? Game back on in Liverpool, as Suarez seemingly&nbsp;brings Atleti within one. However, its quickly ruled out as the Reds still have their two goal advantage. But consider that a warning shot.&nbsp;

Suarez scores, but its offside!

Manchester City take the lead just moments after Brugge nearly scored a goal of their own. It's Riyad Mahrez with the header on the backpost, and it is a free one to put it lightly, to give City the 2-1 lead.

GOAL MANCHESTER CITY (2-1)

Some fancy foottwork from Marcelo Brozovic, who wiggles his way past the defence to find space for a shot.&nbsp; Once he found that space, he placed a shot right into the bottom corner, putting Sherrif's knockout round hopes in a bit of danger.

GOAL INTER! (0-1)

Liverpool are RAMPANT! Jota again as he runs straight through a Felipe-sized gap in the Atleti defence. He's left with a relatively easy finish, giving the Reds a 3-0 lead at home. That is until its ruled back for offside, leaving Jota and the virtually everyone else at Anfield frustrated.&nbsp;

Liverpool goal ruled out!

Second halves are underway

Exhale. A wild 45 minutes. Here are your scores so far: Liverpool 2 - 0 Atletico Madrid RB Leipzig 1 - 2 PSG Manchester City 1 - 1 Club Brugge Sporting CP 3 - 0 Besiktas Dortmund 1 - 0 Ajax Sheriff 0 - 0 Inter

Halftime

This one may just be done and dusted. It's Paulinho this time and it's a beauty. Sporting CP are CRUSHING Besiktas.&nbsp;

GOAL SPORTING! (3-0)

Wijnaldum AGAIN! After scoring his first goal for PSG earlier, he now has his second as he heads home from close range. Marquinhos with the header from the top of the box and Wijnaldum is on the end of it from close range. A quick VAR review confirms the goal as PSG have overcome their slow start.

GOAL PSG! (2-1)

What a half for Pedro Goncalves. He makes it 2-0, with both goals coing off of his foot. What a player and what a goal, as he curls a lovely right-footed shot from inside the box. Sporting CP now have the two-goal lead while point-less Besiktas are in big, big trouble.&nbsp;

GOAL SPORTING CP! (2-0)

More good news for Liverpool, who arenow up two goals and one player. Felipe sent off for Atletico Madrid, and Diego Simeone's side are in big, big trouble now to say the least.&nbsp; <center> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet">A contentious red card at Anfield! 🟥 Felipe is given his marching orders for this deliberate trip on Sadio Mane... 😳<a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/UCL?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#UCL</a> <a href="https://t.co/9xqrALqYdr">pic.twitter.com/9xqrALqYdr</a>— Football on BT Sport (@btsportfootball) <a href="https://twitter.com/btsportfootball/status/1455999439722754056?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 3, 2021</a></blockquote> <script async="async" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script><blockquote class="twitter-tweet">A STRAIGHT RED FOR FELIPE 😳 <a href="https://t.co/jt5royxJ3a">pic.twitter.com/jt5royxJ3a</a>— CBS Sports Golazo ⚽️ (@CBSSportsGolazo) <a href="https://twitter.com/CBSSportsGolazo/status/1455998858434015232?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 3, 2021</a></blockquote> <script async="async" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script> </center>

RED CARD ATLETI!

10-man Dortmund take the lead! VAR gives Dortmund a penalty following a foul in the box, and Marco Reus steps up and gives Dortmund the goal. Somehow, the German side are in the lead.&nbsp;

GOAL DORTMUND! (1-0)

That'll make things interesting.&nbsp; Mats Hummels has been sent off for a foul on Ajax star Antony. The Brazilian leapt into the air and seemingly landed on a sliding Hummels, but it is the Dortmund star that is punished A bit controversial, to say the least, but the Dutch side will now have a man advantage going forward.&nbsp;

RED CARD TO DORTMUND!

A slightly controversial penalty, but Sporting will take it. Goncalves rockets a shot into the lower corner to put the Portuguese side up 1-0 against Besiktas.&nbsp;

GOAL SPORTING CP! (1-0)

Mane this time, and Trent Alexander-Arnold with his second assist of the day. This one may be a bit luckier than the one on Jota's goal, as he whips the ball towards Jan Oblak in goal. Mane is there to deflect it into the back of the net and it's 2-0. Liverpool are cruising! <center> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"> 'Trent Alexander-Arnold, how may I assist you?' 🤝 <a href="https://t.co/AC9jUquGU1">pic.twitter.com/AC9jUquGU1</a> — Goal (@goal) <a href="https://twitter.com/goal/status/1455993042528358401?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 3, 2021</a></blockquote> <script async="async" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></center>

GOAL LIVERPOOL! (2-0)

PSG's first real chance going forward and it results in a goal! Mbappe sets up Wijnaldum, who bundles it home from close range for his first PSG goal. Leipzig already regretting that penalty miss...

GOAL PSG! (1-1)

An own goal from Manchester City! John Stones is on the end of it as Brugge make it 1-1. Ball bounces off Stones and in but, to be fair, it was unlucky for the City defender. Brugge won't care as we're level at the Etihad.&nbsp;

GOAL BRUGGE! (1-1)

We're less than 15 minutes into these games and we already have three goals and a penalty save. Buckle up!&nbsp;

What a start....

Manchester City are in the lead too. Phil Foden with the goal, and it had been coming. He caps off a sequence that had City at least a few clear-cut chances, but Foden finally puts it in on a cross from Cancelo.&nbsp;

GOAL FODEN! (1-0)

PSG have been terrible, but they owe Donnarumma a big thank you. Andre Silva's penalty is denied by Donnarumma, who dives to his right to push away the shot. PSG asleep so far, but maybe that can wake them up?&nbsp;

PENALTY SAVED!

Nkunku! The RB Leipzig midfielder scores against his former club and puts his hands in the air to avoid a celebration.&nbsp; A lovely header from Nkunku on an even better cross from Andre Silva and Leipzig are up 1-0. A bad, bad start from PSG, who have come out sloppy here.&nbsp;

GOAL LEIPZIG! (1-0)

We're underway across Europe. Let's have some fun.&nbsp;

KICKOFF

With his goal tonight, Karim Benzema (33y 319d) is now Real Madrid’s oldest player to score a Champions League brace. Who did he overtake? Cristiano Ronaldo (33y 57d), of course.&nbsp;

Benzema overtakes Ronaldo

The man of the hour at Anfield

Some pregame reading before we get going at Anfield. A look back at Luis Suarez's Liverpool career, from the training ground antics to the teammate fights to the unforgettable goals. <a href="https://www.goal.com/story/luis-suarez-liverpool-genius-madman-legend/index.html">Read the full story on Goal!</a>

Genius, madman... legend? Luis Suarez at Liverpool: The inside story

It's all over in the early games, as AC Milan settle for a draw with Porto. A strong fight back from Milan, who are unable to find the winner that they so desperately needed. Real Madrid, meanwhile, did find their winner through Benzema, of course. The Frenchman scored twice, both on assists from Vinicius Junior, as they took a step towards the knockouts.

<center> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"> Vinicius x Benzema What a duo 😍 <a href="https://t.co/kKwCeG7E5K">pic.twitter.com/kKwCeG7E5K</a> — Goal (@goal) <a href="https://twitter.com/goal/status/1455976017261105154?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 3, 2021</a></blockquote> <script async="async" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></center>

How good are these two?!

Milan seemingly took the&nbsp; lead with just seven minutes remaining, but it has been ruled back! Zlatan Ibrahimovic with the finish but, just as the celebrations started, the referee called it back for offside. Theo Hernandez was deemed off in the buildup, and so it remains 1-1.&nbsp;

Lineups: Liverpool vs Atletico Madrid

Eventful first halves, with three goals split between the two games. Real Madrid find themselves level with Shakhtar Donetsk, with Benzema's goal cancelled out by Fernando. Milan, meanwhile, have been played off the field by Porto, who should be up more than 1-0. You could hear boos from both sets of home supporters, who will expect lively second halves in Madrid and Milan.&nbsp;

HALFTIME

The mood has certainly shifted in Madrid as the boo birds have come out since conceding the goal. Benzema smashing a free kick into the wall hasn't helped.

Bernabeu boos

It's level in Madrid! With just six minutes left in the first half, Shakhtar have scored with Fernando providing the goal to make it 1-1. A tough break for the hosts, but not totally undeserved as Real Madrid haven't seized control since Benzema's opener.&nbsp;

GOAL SKAHKTAR!

Porto goalkeeper Diogo Costa is down after colliding with Giroud on the ensuing corner. Referees take a look to see if there was anything card-worthy with Pepe, of all people, gesturing to the referee that Giroud's elbow was malicious.&nbsp;

An elbow from Giroud?

Milan have been pretty, pretty bad so far, but they nearly just got themselves back in it. A lovely curled shot from Olivier Giroud is pushed away by Diogo Costa, leaving Milan still chasing a goal here in the 34th minute.&nbsp;

Chance for Giroud!

Record-breaking Real Madrid

Real Madrid have their early goal, and who else could it come from? Benzema puts Madrid into the lead in the 14th minute. Vinicius Jr with the assist after winning the ball as he tees up Benzema for a relatively-simple finish&nbsp;

GOAL BENZEMA!

Real Madrid nearly take an early lead of their own, but Luka Modric is denied on the doorstep. An absolutely ridiculous save from&nbsp;Anatolii Trubin, who somehow parried away Modric's shot from just a few yards away.&nbsp;

Great save denies Modric

Luis Diaz! A dreadful start for Milan, and they've been punished. Great work from former Liverpool man Marko Grujic to tee up Diaz, who finishes just a head of two sliding Milan defenders. Milan are calling for a foul in the buildup&nbsp;and Stefano Piloi is LIVID, but Porto are celebrating!

GOAL PORTO!

Porto fluffed an incredible early chance as they should be 1-0 up within the first few seconds! After a long throw in, Evanilson somehow hits the side netting in what is certainly a big letoff for Milan.&nbsp;

Early chance for Porto

We're underway in the two early games as Porto face Milan and Real Madrid take on Shakhtar Donetsk

Kickoff!

With his start today,&nbsp;Casemiro will make his 300th appearance for Real Madrid. As a result, he becomes only the third Brazilian player to reach this milestone for the club, joining Marcelo (532) and Roberto Carlos (527). Decent company, eh?

A memorable day for Casemiro

Looks like Real Madrid brought their finishing boots

Real Madrid signed Brazilian star Reinier from Flamengo in 2020 for €30 million, but a loan move to Borussia Dortmund is not going according to plan. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-us/news/why-real-madrid-wonderkid-reinier-struggling-dortmund/1o56zormmpedb1l1n847af2jx8">With both teams in action today, Goal takes a look at what's gone wrong for the young star.</a>
