Follow all the action, goal updates, and major incidents from across the Champions League tonight:
GOAL! Juventus 0-1 PSG (Mbappe, 13’)⚽️
13 mins: Lovely work from Kylian Mbappe!
PSG recover the ball high up the pitch and send it up to Mbappe who knocks it through the legs of Federico Gatti before shifting away from another tackle and nestling a right-footed shot into the far post.
The ball hits the upright and deflects into the back of the night.
Man City 0-0 Sevilla
12 mins: Manchester City are dominating possession at the Etihad stadium which is to be expected. Sergio Gomez weaves his way into the penalty area and hits the deck but City don’t get the penalty they’re after.
AC Milan 0-0 RB Salzburg
10 mins: As it stands Milan are heading through to the last-16 as they need just a point against RB Salzburg to finish second behind Chelsea.
Theo Hernandez has come closest for the home side by drilling a left-footed strike into the post during the first few minutes of the match.
GOAL! Chelsea 0-1 Dinamo Zagreb (Petkovic, 7’)⚽️
7 mins: Dinamo Zagreb take the early lead at Stamford Bridge! The visitors work the ball across the pitch from left to right and give it to Sadegh Moharrami.
He has bags of time on the right wing to float a cross into the box. The dropping ball hits Cesar Azpilicueta on the back of the head and bounces over to Bruno Petkovic who nods it home from inside the six-yard box!
Juventus 0-0 PSG
5 mins: Juventus’ first real attack comes from the left wing as they beat the PSG midfield and break up the pitch. The ball comes to Arkadiusz Milik but his shot from the left side of the penalty area gets blocked.
Good chance for the home side.
Man City 0-0 Sevilla
3 mins: Cole Palmer has started in midfielde alongside Phil Foden and Ilkay Gundogan. That’s a change from his usual role as a centre-forward but he seems to be getting stuck into the game.
Palmer lets fly on an effort from range and drills his effort narrowly over the crossbar!
Kick off!
The final six games of the Champions League group stages get underway! Manchester City and Chelsea have both made significant changes and are giving their fringe players some game time.
