Nico O'Reilly looks to cut back but there's no one there.

By contrast at the other end, Real break at pace and Rodrygo slides across a brilliant ball for Vinicius Junior, who almost floats one over the top of Gianluigi Donnarumma but it goes behind instead.

End to end stuff at the Bernabeu.

Arsenal are finding lots of space through the Club Brugge midfield.

It's been a bright and breezy start by Mikel Arteta's side.

There has been a late change in the Club Brugge goal.

Simon Mignolet was due to start but has picked up an injury before the game, now it is Van den Heuvel starting in goal for the home side.

Harvey Barnes finds himself wide right with Anthony Gordon on the left. Barnes controls the ball, comes inside on his left foot and looks for the near corner but Mark Flekkon gets down to it.

Club Brugge are fielding their third-choice goalkeeper because of injuries.

Dani van den Heuvel, once on the books of Leeds United, did well to beat away that early attempt by Martin Odegaard.

It just came off Nico O'Reilly. Gianluigi Donnarumma was stranded.

A dangerous free-kick from Federico Valverde almost sneaks under the wall but takes a crucial deflection off Nico O'Reilly to go behind for a corner, which Manchester City are able to clear.

It's full-throttle stuff already in Madrid.

Two throw-ins launched into the Club Brugge box by Christian Norgaard in the opening couple of minutes, both cleared.

The Gunners have settled quickly and Martin Odegaard starts a move that ends with the captain testing the goalkeeper from outside the box.

A steady start for Newcastle at the BayArena.

They're in that lovely green away kit they have and have taken charge of the ball early on.

It's a free-kick after the referee initially awarded a penalty.

Settle down now.

VAR has deemed that foul was outside the box.

City fans breathe a sigh of relief.

It will be a free-kick in a dangerous area instead.

I think it could be outside the box. It is a definite foul.

Hang on, is the contact from Matheus Nunes made outside the box?

VAR will have a look.

Oh dear. City concede a penalty with less than 120 seconds on the clock.

An absolutely disastrous start for the visitors.

What a start to the game! Manchester City can't clear the ball, it comes to Vinicius Junior in the box and there's a foul from Matheus Nunes.

The referee points to the spot.

Good to see Arsenal wearing their traditional red and white in Belgium.

The hosts are being roared on by a sell-out 29,000 crowd, with 1,490 Arsenal fans trying to make themselves heard.

So much to unpack with this one.

Another chapter in this superb European rivalry, no Kylian Mbappe, Xabi Alonso's job on the rocks.

So much at stake.

A couple of players in the Leverkusen side who Newcastle know well.

Goalkeeper Mark Flekkon played his football at Brentford last season, while Jarell Quansah was at Liverpool.

Off we go in Madrid, Bruges and Leverkusen.
