Hello and welcome to Eurosport's LIVE text commentary of the Champions League clash between Bayern Munich and Atletico Madrid. Just 59 days after beating Paris Saint-Germain in the 19-20 final, Hansi Flick's side start the defence of their crown. A stern test too in the shape of Diego Simeone's well-drilled Atletico. Kick-off is an hour away, let's have some team news first!

32'
Bayern have shown more heart and desire than Atleti so far. Simeone's side are lacking their usual drive and fight. If they concede again, it's game over.
29'
Simeone will be furious with Joao Felix, who just didn't fancy competing for the ball with Kimmich. Trippier was also caught sleeping as the cross came in.

GOAL! Bayern Munich 1-0 Atletico Madrid (Kingsley Coman): Joao Frelix backs out of a 50-50 with Kimmich, who gathers himself and floats a lovely cross to the back post where Coman is left with the simple task of slotting it home!

Suarez should hit the target! Carrasco spins between two Bayern defenders and cuts it back for Suarez. It's another presentable chance for the Atleti forward but he fluffs his lines.
26'
Atletico have some defending to do, as Bayern force another corner. Sule, once again, meets Kimmich's delivery, but he can't generate enough power on his header and the visitors clear their lines.

Shot! Atletico carve open the Bayern defence, with Carrasco playing a lovely give-and-go with Felix. The former should do better with his shot, though, as he curls it straight at Neuer.

Early goals at The Etihad. Sergio Aguero has just levelled for Manchester City in their match with Porto.
21'
Trippier receives treatment, but he is fine. Muller is still remonstrating to the referee about that decision.

Yellow card! Muller's forward momentum sees him catch Trippier. Is it even a foul? The referee brandishes the Bayern forward with a booking. Never.

Chance! Tolisso has to do better there! He makes a clever run on the overlap and is fed by Coman. Lewandowski is waiting at the back post for a tap in, but Tolisso goes for a goal from a tight angle and Oblak pushes it behind!

Off the post! Oh my, Sule should score for Bayern! Muller flicks on Kimmich's corner, the defender loses his marker and from point-blank range, pokes his left-footed shot at the woodwork.
13'
Trippier's long throw finds Suarez, who leaves Sule in his wake. But the attack collapses.

12'
Kimmich is sitting deeper, allowing Tolliso and Gortezka to run at the Atletico defence.
10'
The hosts have turned the screw a little, with Goretzka and Pavard both delivering crosses from the right flank. They come to nothing, but just a couple of signs Bayern are beginning to settle.
8'
Bayern manage to string a few passes together for the first time this evening.

So close for Lewandowski! A lovely pass into the feet of Coman allows Bayern to spring an attack. He stands up a deep cross, picking out Lewandowski, who opts for a beautiful first-time volley. It would have been some goal had it came off, but it's just wide of Neuer's far post.

Yellow card! Bayern aren't out of the traps just yet, and now Alaba goes into the book for catching Suarez with his elbow.

Atleti go close! It's a let off for Bayern! The visitors work a lovely move down the left flank, Renan Lodi bends a teasing ball across the face of goal, it's begging to be finished, but Suarez just can't reach it on the slide.
2'
Atletico are on the front foot immediately, forcing not one but two corners. Koke takes both; Bayern deal with both.
