GOALFLASHES AND MAJOR INCIDENTS (all times GMT) 2011: What a miss by Arsenal's Cesc Fabregas. The young Spanish star picks up a delightful return pass from Tomas Rosicky and rounds the goalkeeper - only to find the side netting from a tight angle.
2010: SENDING OFF AEK Athens are yet to win a Champions League game in 21 attempts - but they've got a chance as they will play the last 70 minutes against Lille against 10 men.
Stathis Tavlaridis is given his marching orders by referee Steve Bennett after picking up two bookings inside a minute.
2008: GOAL AC Milan 2-0 Anderlecht Kaka nets his second of the evening, and fourth in this season's competition, as the Italian side aim to end the hopes of Anderlecht early on.
2007: GOAL Benfica 2-0 Celtic It's turning into a terrible night for Gary Caldwell. The Celtic man loses the flight of the ball as he tracks a long kick by Benfica goalkeeper Quim - and succeeds only in heading it into the path of
Nuno Gomes who nets his first Champions League goal in eight years.
2001: Thierry Henry almost rounds off a flowing Arsenal move with a goal - but his touch sends the ball just wide.
2000: GOAL Lyon 1-0 Dynamo Kiev The Champions League's in-form outfit have made a fine start.
Karim Benzema puts Lyon ahead on 14 minutes after good work from Sidney Govou, as the French side go for their fourth win in a row. A win for the home team will send them into the knockout stage.
1957: Wayne Rooney fires in the first shot for Manchester United and it's a decent effort, although Jesper Christiansen saves comfortably enough.
1955: GOAL Benfica 1-0 Celtic A bad start for Celtic as the unfortunate
Gary Caldwell puts the ball into his own net following a superb cross from the right by Nelson.
1954: GOAL AC Milan 1-0 Anderlecht The first Champions League goal of the night comes in Italy as
Kaka scores from the penalty spot.
1952: Simao fires the ball across the Celtic area, but no-one gets the final touch.
1949: The home fans are jumping up and down en masse in Copenhagen. It serves two purposes - showing unity and helping them keep warm. But it's also been a decent start for the Danish side - they've forced a couple of early corners.
1946: Not the ideal start for Thierry Henry. He picks up a yellow card from Lubos Michel inside the first minute for a foul.
1945: The eight matches get underway across Europe.
1941: Third and final weather report of the night comes from north London. It's chilly and, of course, Thierry Henry's got the gloves on - strangely the Moscow players seem less bothered. Only the goalie's wearing them.
1932: Over to the warmer climate of Portugal and the atmosphere in Lisbon is buidling. The home fans cheer as the traditional eagle of Benfica swoops into the Estadio de Luz and lands to grab a well-earned fish dish. Will that be the highlight of the evening for the home fans?
1930: Think it's cold in the UK? Well, you're right, it is. But it's colder in Denmark and the adverse weather does not seem to have helped the pitch in Copenhagen, which is not in the greatest condition for the visit of Manchester United.
