21:39
GOAL: Atletico Madrid 1-2 Chelsea (Batshuayi 90+4)

What a finish for Chelsea. Batshuayi, with the last kick of the match, scores for Chelsea. It was Alonso who cut the ball back across the six-yard box and there was Batshuayi, who scored the title-clinching goal against West Brom last season, shoots right-footed past Oblak.

Diego Costa's reaction at full time in Madrid
21:35
GOAL: CSKA Moscow (Kuchaev 90) 1-4 Manchester United

Jose Mourinho will not be happy with that. Clean sheet snatched away from his side. Kuchaev wriggles into the United penalty area before finishing past De Gea. The CSKA fans celebrate though they been loud throughout tonight.

21:32
Conte makes his final move...

Christensen comes on for Cesc Fabregas. David Luiz moves into midfield. Even Gary Cahill is getting forward more than usual. The Blues are going for this in possession but they are retreating very deep when without the ball. It remains 1-1.

21:24
Morata comes off...

Chelsea in their quest for a winner have brought off Morata. The striker is replaced by Batshuayi. Willian also comes on for Hazard. Still 1-1.

21:22
GOAL: Juventus (Mandzukic 80) 2-0 Olympiakos

Mario Mandzukic makes it 2-0 for Juve. It hasn't been easy for them tonight but they appear to have successfully navigated the challenge of Olympiakos.

21:20
Conte's men have 12 minutes to find a second and be the first side to win away at Atletico's new ground...
21:19
Plenty of hype for PSG's goal... defending by Javi Martinez was truly awful though
21:12
GOAL: Juventus (Higuain 69) 1-0 Olympiakos

Sandro cuts the ball back, Higuain's initial shot is saved before he follows up with a second effort and Proto can't keep it out. Crucial breakthrough for Juve.

21:09
GOAL: PSG (Neymar 63) 3-0 Bayern Munich

PSG have this one in the bag. Mbappe does well on the right before cutting inside and playing the ball across for Neymar to tap in. Javi Martinez was so ponderous when Mbappe's pass came in. Neymar took the initiative and scored. 

21:05
CHANCE: Chelsea close to making it 2-1

Speculative ball into the Atletico box but Cesc Fabregas scuffs his shot and the hosts clear. A fantastic chance for the Blues to take the lead.

21:03
GOAL: Atletico Madrid 1-1 Chelsea (Morata 60)

The Blues back on level terms. Eden Hazard plays an excellent ball in from the left and Morata, the former Real Madrid man who had never scored against Atletico, heads past Oblak.

21:01
GOAL: CSKA Moscow 0-4 Manchester United (Mkhitaryan 57)

Yet again made very easy for United following some awful defending. Martial's shot is saved but Akinfeev can only palm the ball out and Mkhitaryan charges into the penalty area to make it 4-0.

20:59
Adam Crafton in Madrid

Chelsea were supremely authoritative and threatening for 30 minutes. N'Golo Kante was running midfield, Alvaro Morata was bettering the fearsome Diego Godin and Eden Hazard dazzled. Yet Chelsea didn't take their chances and were deprived by the woodwork and a super Jan Oblak save. Conte, will, however, be rather disappointed his side rather let the game drift in the final 15 minutes and encourage Atleti into the game. Big test now for Chelsea. 

20:57
GOAL: Anderlecht 0-2 Celtic (Kara OG 50)

Two own goals in a matter of minutes. Patrick Roberts got his shot away and it cannons off Kara and into the Anderlecht goal. Should be a Celtic win now. Rodgers looking very relieved.

20:55
GOAL: Sporting Lisbon 0-1 Barcelona (Coates OG 49)

So very unfortunate for Sporting. They've been so resilient in defence tonight but one error has cost them. Luis Suarez's effort is put into his own net by Coates. 

20:53
Chelsea getting closer to an equaliser...

Alvaro Morata is causing the Atletico Madrid defence a number of problems. He's started this second half with clear instructions to pester Godin. He's doing a good job but can't quite get a good enough shot away.

20:47
Back underway in all eight of tonight's games...
20:46
Nearly time for the second 45 minutes of tonight's games...

Can't see much changing in Moscow with United well in control but Chelsea will be hoping they can at least get one goal back.

20:35
All of the half-time scores across Europe...
BT SPORT
20:30
A very nice goal indeed by PSG... Mbappe and Cavani linking up well
20:27
GOAL: Atletico Madrid (Griezmann pen 40) 1-0 Chelsea

David Luiz takes down Lucas in the penalty are and referee Cuneyt Cakir awards Atletico the spot kick. Griezmann steps up and places his right-footed strike beyond Courtois.

20:24
Anderlecht 0-1 Celtic (Griffiths 38)

The Scottish champions need a win tonight and that's a massive goal from Leigh Griffiths.

20:20
GOAL: PSG (Cavani 31) 2-0 Bayern Munich

Ten goals in 10 matches for Cavani this season. Mbappe played a short ball across to Cavani and the forward stroked the ball right-footed past Neuer.

20:13
CSKA Moscow 0-3 Manchester United (Lukaku 27)

Lukaku gets his second and it really was very, very easy. He places past Akinfeev and it's essentially game over in Russia after 27 minutes.

20:07
GOAL: Basle (Oberlin 20) 2-0 Benfica

The 19-year-old adds a second goal for Basle. His first shot on target tonight and it nestles beautifully in the back of the Benfica net. Benfica heading for their second straight defeat.

20:05
GOAL: CSKA Moscow 0-2 Manchester United (Martial pen 18)

Henrikh Mkhitaryan is brought down in the box by Georgi Schennikov and a penalty is given. Martial steps up and coolly slots into the bottom right corner.

19:59
Hazard hits the post...

The Blues very close to taking the lead through Hazard. The creative forward drove forward before striking a right-footed effort which crashed against the left post of Oblak's goal. Chelsea in control in Madrid. 0-0.

19:55
Some return from Lukaku...
19:53
Good start for Chelsea...

Mature start from Conte's Chelsea. Alvaro Morata goes close with a shot that just creeps past the far post of Jan Oblak's goal. It remains 0-0.

19:51
GOAL: PSG (Alves 2) 1-0 Bayern Munich, CSKA Moscow 0-1 Manchester United (Lukaku 4)

Two goals in quick succession. First Dani Alves finish off great work by Neymar and then Romelu Lukaku scores in his seventh consecutive match to put United ahead.

19:49
GOAL: Basle (Lang 2) 1-0 Benfica

Basle score the first goal of the 7.45 kick-offs. Lang with the goal after two minutes.

INTERVIEW BY PETE JENSON: Diego Simeone likes his players to be able to run through brick walls for him.

Saul Niguez was ready to give up a kidney for the cause two years ago, so it's little wonder his coach has always fought off Premier League interest in the 22-year-old who will face Chelsea on Wednesday night.

Fulham wanted Saul when he was 16 and Manchester United wanted him long before he established himself in Atletico's first team but he stayed and even the burst kidney sustained in a Champions League game in 2015 against Bayer Leverkusen has not held him back.

Tottenham striker Harry Kane is close to being on a level with Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, according to former defender Rio Ferdinand.

Kane was in excellent form on Tuesday night as his hat-trick sealed a 3-0 away victory over APOEL Nicosia.

His display caught the attention of former England and Manchester United central defender Ferdinand, who was appearing as a pundit on BT Sport's Champions League highlights show.

DANNY GALLAGHER: Chelsea manager Antonio Conte has been handed some credit for Spartak Moscow's recent Champions League draw with Liverpool.

The Russian outfit frustrated Jurgen Klopp's side, who were unable to find an elusive match-winning strike despite their 16 attempts on goal.

Spartak took a valuable point from the contest and, in his post match comments, manager Massimo Carrera credited Conte with giving his side a helping hand.

Good afternoon and welcome to Sportsmail's coverage of today's Champions League group stage action

More Champions League action tonight as Chelsea and Manchester United round off the match action for the English teams.

Unlike yesterday there is one fixture that has kicked off early.

Qarabag, the whipping boys of Group C, are losing at home to Roma inside 20 minutes. Not a good start for them. An essential three points on the horizon for Roma, who also have Atletico Madrid and Chelsea in their group.
