Ooooh, that should be 1-1.

Feels like a matter of time before PSG score.

This season's Champions League will be won by an outsider team, like a Benfica or Atletico maybe even Galatasaray . Always love to see the so called “bigger" teams struggle.

Trent Alexander-Arnold is seeing lots of the ball.
Thirteen touches and nine passes inside the opening 10 minutes by the former Liverpool man.
Monaco 1-0 PSG
Fair play to Wout Faes, going from scoring two own goals in one game for Leicester to leading PSG in the Champions League.
Benfica 0-0 Real Madrid
A first shot in anger from Real Madrid and surprise, surprise it comes from the boot of Kylian Mbappe. Anatoliy Trubin is unable to hold it and it spills onto the pitch before the keeper grabs it at the second attempt.
Monaco 1-0 PSG
Nuno Mendes breaks free and slides a ball across the box but there is Caio Henrique to hammer behind for a corner.
Benfica 0-0 Real Madrid
Image source, Getty ImagesReal are playing in an all-blue strip instead of their familiar white.
Vinícius Junior has had a couple of runs into the Benfica half but there's been very little in terms of goalmouth action by either side.
Monaco 1-0 PSG
PSG turn it on when coming forward down the left as Bradley Barcola makes the run inside his full-back. Joao Neves finds his run but the flag goes up.
Poor from Barcola there.
Benfica 0-0 Real Madrid
The record 15-time European champions are being forced to soak up some early home pressure. Benfica are spraying it around nicely - 60% possession in the opening four minutes.
Monaco 1-0 PSG
Glenn Hoddle
Former England and Tottenham manager on TNT Sports

There's two on the back post, either of them could score. It's a lovely ball in.
Folarin Balogun won't score an easier goal.
Monaco 1-0 PSG
A goal in just 55 seconds for Monaco as they face the toughest of all tasks in PSG.
Incredible start to this football match.
Dortmund v Atalanta (20:15 GMT)
Action is not under way yet at the Signal Iduna Park as there's a 15 minute delay until kick-off.
Benfica 0-0 Real Madrid
First things first - a truly wonderful atmosphere inside Benfica's ground in Lisbon. This is as good as it gets.
The home side have started on the front foot with Argentine Gianluca Prestianni firing wildly over the bar.
Folarin Balogun (1 min)
Image source, Getty ImagesWhat a start!
Nuno Mendes' ball is cut out and Monaco spring forward brilliantly as Aleksandr Golovin digs out a cross and there is Folarin Balogun to head home.
Disastrous start for the European champions.
The Champions League knockout round play-offs are getting under way in Portugal and France.
