I'VE HAD BARCA V INTER ON ON MY SECOND SCREEN
And out of the corner of my eye, I've seen Barca dominating. Well, Ousmane Dembele has given them the lead and I must say I hope they go through, because they're growing into a decent side whereas Inter are no better than OK and aren't improving at anything like the same rate.

EESH!
There's been some needle between Mazraoui and Jirka, who just accidentally raised an elbow that caught his mate in the face. The officials do nowt, and I guess it would've been hard to prove anything untoward, but that looked extremely suss to me.

GOSH, THAT HAPPENED QUICKLY
Spurs now lead Eintracht 3-1, Kane scoring the two latest goals. With Marseille 2-0 up away to Sporting, the likelihood is that Spurs will to the group at full-time, but all four teams will still have a shot at qualifying.

ELSEWHERE IN THE GROUP
It's still Barca 0-0 Inter. Barca badly need a win here, having lost in Milan last week.

GOAL! Viktoria Plzen 0-4 Bayern Munich Plzen are game, but they've no defensive organisation, so when Sane gets on the ball outside the box, there's no pressure on him. That allows him to wait and wait before darting a pass through for the marauding Goretzka, who dinks a fine finish over the diving Stanek and this could soon get messier than it already is.

BAYERN HAVEN'T ACTUALLY CREATED THAT MANY CHANCES
Though I don't suppose they've needed to because they've taken all those they've made. Though, as I type that, Mane swivels on the ball outside the box and drill-drags a shot just wide of the near post.

CHANCE FOR VIKTORIA!
They've got plenty of pluck, just not much quality, and when Ulreich plays Upamecano into trouble, Bucha wins the ball back and Mosquera is in! In fairness, the keeper is right on top of him, but the flick he tries is tame and totally lacking in conviction, allowing the save, likewise Jirka's effort when the ball breaks to him.

Mathys Tel replaces him.

CHANGE FOR VIKTORIA
Kopic is replaced by Jirka. That'll sort it.

GOAL! Viktoria Plzen 0-3 Bayern Munich (Goretzka) This is like a training match. Coman bundles through a challenge down the right, squares to the edge, and when Sane tickles a touch, Goretzka is in front of goal, looking one way then shooting the other as the goalie buys the subterfuge like it's going out of fashion. If Bayern can be arsed, this could get embarrassing for all concerned.

SON HAS EQUALISED FOR SPURS
This isn't meant to be an update service, but there's the cube root of nowt going on in this match.

A QUIET PERIOD
Bayern are waiting because they know opportunities will present themselves, while Viktoria just don't have the quality to get at them.

OH AYE!
Scott Arfield has given Rangers the lead against Liverpool!

BUT HERE COME VIKTORIA AGAIN
Jemelka nashing down the left and crossing well, for Chory to head wide. Upamecano takes a bang in the process, but he'll be fine I'm sure.

VIKANOVA TRIES TO GO ON THE OUTSIDE OF PAVARD DOWN THE RIGHT
And does a decent job, so Pavard ploughs through him and does well to avoid a booking. Bayern then get the free-kick away.

GOAL! Viktoria Plzen 0-2 Bayern Munich (Muller) It's Goretzka again! He turns a terrific reverse-pass out to the left, Coman crosses first time, and Muller punches home from close range. Bayern barely celebrate and Jonathan Peace barely raises his voice which, if you remember him from his Capital Gold days in the 80s and 90s, is quite a thing.

PLZEN ARE IN BIG TROUBLE
When you've a big squad as Bayern do, every XI picked is full of men playing for their places.
