10.15pm BST

José Mourinho speaks to TNT Sports after Benfica’s loss:

We played four matches, two game in between matches. I have never trained. I just do recovery. One of my strengths is training, we haven’t had time for that … Some difficulties and big pressure on the players with elections at the club, they cannot escape that.

We were organised, we studied Chelsea well. We coped well with the designs they put on the pitch. Cucurella in between the lines or out wide. And then a difficult moment with three midfielders on a yellow card in a match with quick transactions. Today, we did enough to get a point and we must now find points elsewhere.

As a coach that arrived 10 days ago it is a positive feeling. But the next two matches: Porto away and Newcastle away. It is what it is. I told the guys that Chelsea is better than Porto. The boys did OK.

10.07pm BST

Sheffield United 1-2 Southampton: The Blades’s manager Chris Wilder was sent off after booting a ball into the crowd (in reaction to his side conceding a penalty which Southampton ended up missing) and hitting one of his own supporters. He went to apologise but he was shown a red regardless.

The visitors came from behind to win all three points after Ross Stewart’s scored in the 51st and 58th minute.

Bodø/Glimt 2-2 Spurs: Frank’s side will be thanking their lucky stars. They were outclassed for most of the match but another late equaliser, an own goal, secured the visitors a point. It will be disappointing for Bodø/Glimt after tremendous goals from Hauge the home town hero.

9.59pm BST

Chelsea 1-0 Benfica: Mourinho’s homecoming ends in defeat after an own goal from Ríos in the first half. It is a very important win for Maresca’s side, who have struggled as of late. It was crucial for them to grind out the win after going ahead and luckily for the hosts, João Pedro’s red card came too close to full-time to make a significant difference on the game.

RED CARD! Cheslea 1-0 Benfica (João Pedro 90+6)

9.53pm BST

Chelsea 1-0 Benfica: A yellow card is shown towards the direction of the Benfica bench … Uefa confirm it is to Mourinho. Classic.

9.50pm BST

Bodø Glimt 2-2 Spurs: After a very long VAR check, the goal stands! Big goal for the visitors.

9.48pm BST

GOAL! Bodø Glimt 2-2 Spurs (Gundersen 89og)

Richarlison has barely had a kick of the ball but he gets their equaliser. Gray has a shot that is saved and it is ricocheted off of either the Brazilian or the defender Gundersen … but another VAR check. Was there an offside?

9.46pm BST

Bodø Glimt 2-1 Spurs: Great play from the visitors as they counter after a Spurs corner that ends with Helmersen hitting the woodwork. That is their 16th attempt on the Tottenham goal tonight. Worrying stat for Frank.

9.43pm BST

Bodø Glimt 2-1 Spurs: Odobert hits the post after diving on to head Kudus’s cross. So close!

9.41pm BST

GOAL! Atlético Madrid 5-1 Frankfurt (Alvarez 82)

An absolute hammering in the Spanish capital. Amenda is judged to have committed a foul after a VAR check and Alvarez makes no mistake from the spot despite Santos getting a hand on his paneka.

Updated at 9.44pm BST

9.37pm BST

Chelsea 1-0 Benfica: Mourinho makes three substitutions. Schjelderup, Ivanovic and Leandro Barreiro come on. Chelsea breaks and Fernández puts a great ball in for Estêvão, who heads it goalwards. Trubin is full stretch as he jumps and tips it over the bar. So close!

9.34pm BST

Chelsea 1-0 Benfica: The whistle blows after João Pedro fouls Otamendi but the replay shows the defender going down and holding his face. João Pedro did not touch his face.

9.31pm BST

Chelsea 1-0 Benfica: The medics are on the pitch for Silva, who was caught by Trubin on the back of the head. He is up on his feet but he will be substituted off for Araújo.

9.29pm BST

Atlético Madrid and Bayern are running away with wins, the former having just scored through Simeone (their forward not their manager) to make it 4-1 while the German giants are 5-1 up after Olise fired into the roof of the net, having earlier assisted twice.

9.27pm BST

GOAL! Bodø Glimt 2-1 Spurs (Van de Ven 68)

It is not over until it is over. A fantastic cross from Porro finds Van de Ven, whose fantastic header is fired into the back of the net. Can Frank’s side kick on now?

Updated at 9.37pm BST

9.25pm BST

GOAL! Bodø Glimt 2-0 Spurs (Hauge 66)

What a finish! Great little turn and on to his right foot before smashing it past Vicario. A home town hero. But so poor from Spurs who lost the ball moments earlier.

Updated at 9.30pm BST

9.23pm BST

Chelsea 1-0 Benfica: Gittens, who came on a few minutes ago alongside João Pedro dribbles past a few red shirts but his cross to the right is slightly overhit.

9.21pm BST

Bodø Glimt 1-0 Spurs: Spurs win a set-piece in a dangerous area … Porro slams it into the box and Bentancur tries to get it goalward but it is cleared.

9.18pm BST

Some more goals went in during that VAR drama. Marseille are 4-0 up after Aubameyang goes from provider to goalscorer and Burkardt has smashed one in for Frankfurt.

9.16pm BST

GOAL DISALLOWED! Bodø Glimt 1-0 Spurs

Huge cheer as the referee rules that there is no goal. Van de Ven is furious. He is judged to have fouled Bjørtuft by pulling his shirt. Moments later the Spurs captain gets a yellow card for another foul, this time on Auklend. He needs to keep his head here.

9.13pm BST

GOAL! Bodø Glimt 1-1 Spurs (Bentancur 55)

Spurs immediately respond! It is from a set piece and the hosts are caught sleeping. Johnson gets the ball back into the area after it is half cleared and Bentancur flicks it in. But here we go … a VAR check. The referee heads to the screen.

Updated at 9.14pm BST

9.12pm BST

GOAL! Bodø Glimt 1-0 Spurs (Hague 53)

It has been coming! Bodø Glimt have their first ever goal in the Champions League and what a finish from Hague. On the left, he skips past a few Spurs shirts and then curls one into the net. Huge noise from the yellow-donning supporters.

Hague was born and raised in the city and played every minute of their European campaign last season. What a moment for him.

Updated at 9.14pm BST

9.10pm BST

Bodø Glimt 0-0 Spurs: The home fans cheer as Spence miscontrols a ball that goes out. Very indicative of their performance so far.

9.08pm BST

Chelsea 1-0 Benfica: The visitors come close! Aursnes is through on goal from the left hand side but he is tripped over by Sánchez. He was judged to be in an offside position anyway.

9.05pm BST

Chelsea 1-0 Benfica: An early yellow card for Buonanotte thought the replay shows he did get the ball before Barrenechea did. The commentators are saying Fernández – who is also on a yellow – was cautioned by the referee to “be careful” in the second half.

9.03pm BST

We are back underway across the grounds! More goals? Yes, please!

8.58pm BST

Half-time: I missed a couple goals during a massive rush. Griezmann scored Atlético’s third, his 200th for the club, but it was all made possible due to Alvarez, who beat his man on the left before picking out Griezmann to finish it.

Inter are 2-0 up with their second coming from Dumfries. Thuram found the full-back and all he needed to do was poke it home at the near post.

Bayern are 4-1 up at Pafos, with Kane scoring his second shortly after Jackson scored his first goal for the club. The hosts got one back on the brink of half-time with a sensational top corner shot from Mislav Orsic, who managed to wrongfoot Neuer.

8.52pm BST

And in the Football League, with Jeremy getting in touch to tell me the Championship is “SERIOUS”. Hard agree. But hard to keep up with on a European night.

8.47pm BST

Bodø Glimt 0-0 Spurs: Hague hits the side netting from a low effort after cutting inside. Fet then almost gets the opener after skying a chance from just outside the six-yard box. Spurs getting lucky here.

8.44pm BST

Chelsea 1-0 Benfica: A well-worked free-kick routine that lands to Badiashile but his header goes over the bar. The offside flag saves his blushes as he probably should do better from that chance.

8.43pm BST

Chelsea 1-0 Benfica: Fernández goes over for a corner kick and he applauds the Benfica fans – the midfielder played there for half a season – but the feeling is not reciprocated. The fans start chucking things his way and Mourinho is forced to walk down the touchline to tell the supporters to stop. The corner leads to nothing.

8.39pm BST

GOAL! Atlético Madrid 2-0 Frankfurt (Le Normand 33)

The defender is the quickest to react at the back post after Antoinne Griezmann has his flick saved by the goalkeeper. A dominant performance from the Spanish club after their 5-2 hammering of Real Madrid at the weekend.

Updated at 8.41pm BST

8.37pm BST

PENALTY MISS! Bodø Glimt 0-0 Spurs

Huge let-off for Tottenham! Bentancur concedes a penalty for a follow-through on Bjørkan that is confirmed by VAR. Høgh steps up and sends his spot-kick wildly over the bar. So poor!

Updated at 8.39pm BST

8.35pm BST

GOAL! Inter 1-0 Slavia Prague (Martínez 30)

The Inter captain has had a handful of chances and he finally makes one count. He does not let his misses get to him as he presses Stanek. The keeper has a howler, passing it straight to the striker, who scores into an open net.

8.29pm BST

Chelsea 0-0 Benfica: Before kick-off, Mourinho was blowing kisses to the Chelsea faithful who were chanting his name. Now he has a very serious look on his face as he directs Pavlidis up the pitch.

8.28pm BST

GOAL! Marseille 3-0 Ajax (Greenwood 26)

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang gets his second assist of the night as the hosts cruise in the first half.

Updated at 9.08pm BST

8.25pm BST

Bodø/Glimt 0-0 Spurs: Tottenham are surprisingly sitting deep and struggling to get out of their own half. But they’re keeping their defensive shape well. The hosts have had 70% possession but only one chance on target.

8.24pm BST

GOAL! Pafos 0-2 Bayern (Guerreiro 21)

Olise is again involved, working the ball from the right before a quick give-and-go between Guerreiro and Jackson. The defender then smoothly slots into the back of the net.

8.21pm BST

GOAL! Chelsea 1-0 Benfica (Ríos 18og)

A good cross from the right finds Garnacho after a good run into the box and the former Manchester United forward hits into the box. It smashes against Ríos and straight into the net.

Updated at 8.30pm BST

8.19pm BST

Chelsea 0-0 Benfica: Neto has George at the edge of the box but he opts to go for goal after cutting inside on the right and it is a good effort – just wide!

8.19pm BST

GOAL! Pafos 0-1 Bayern (Kane 15)

Who else?! The English striker continues his fine form in Cyprus, scoring after linking up with Olise moments after hitting the woodwork.

Updated at 8.21pm BST

8.16pm BST

GOAL! Marseille 2-0 Ajax (Paixão 11)

Another for the Brazilian! Ajax are an absolute mess at the back! The lose the ball near their own box and Paixão’s long range shot doubles the score.

Updated at 8.18pm BST

8.13pm BST

Chelsea 0-0 Benfica: George, who is starting up front in a somewhat unfamiliar position, is making good runs but is not getting much of the ball from his teammates. Meanwhile, the ball lands to Garnacho after some good work on the right hand side but his bouncing half-volley is wide.

8.11pm BST

Chelsea 0-0 Benfica: A poor ball from Cucurella which lands to Lukébakio but the Belgian can only hit the post. Warning signs for Chelsea’s defence.

8.10pm BST

GOAL! Marseille 1-0 Ajax (Paixão 7)

Some great quick passing from the hosts before a well-timed run from Paixão. He is essentially 1v1 with the keeper and fires a low shot at the near post.

Updated at 8.15pm BST

8.07pm BST

Chelsea 0-0 Benfica: The Benfica fans are in full voice but it is Chelsea who have started well. Fernández has a go from outside the box but it is just wide.

8.07pm BST

GOAL! Atlético Madrid 1-0 Frankfurt (Raspadori 4)

The hosts find an early lead! Giuliano Simeone does well on the right before hitting a low cross to Giacomo Raspadori who fires it home.

Updated at 8.11pm BST

8.02pm BST

Bodø/Glimt 0-0 Spurs: The visitors win an early free kick. Porro whips it to the far post but it is dealt with by the hosts and goes out for a goal kick.

8.01pm BST

Chelsea 0-0 Benfica: Mourinho and Maresca shared a long chat in the tunnel at Stamford Bridge. A manager making his Champions League debut this season against a two-time winner.

Pafos 0-0 Bayern Munich
Inter 0-0 Slavia Prague
Marseille 0-0 Ajax

7.44pm BST

Full-time in the early Champions League kick-offs.

Kairat 0-5 Real Madrid: A Kylian Mbappé hat-trick plus goals from Eduardo Camavinga and Brahim Díaz give the visitors an emphatic yet expected win.

Atalanta 2-1 Club Brugge: After a much-better showing in the second-half, Lazar Samardzic’s penalty and Mario Pasalic’s header helped the hosts come from behind to secure victory.

7.40pm BST

Some of your thoughts have landed in the postbag as we approach the late kick-offs.

Jeremy knows what to expect from today:

Yeah, OK, looking forward to Liverpool scoring/conceding a stoppage time winner, to Spurs grinding out a draw in the Arctic Circle with their soft-southerner gloves and tights on, but obviously all eyes are on Stamford Bridge, just as The Special/Mellow/Sacked one would like it. He had us all fooled for a while, taking it all on his heavily stubbled chin to allow the players space to express themselves. But actually it was all up there to see long before. Where were the cameras for his Porto period Old Trafford knee-slide? Goalscorer? Assister? JoseKneeSlide?

What on earth have Benfica done putting him on the payroll? Graham Potter is available, is it too late? It all feels a bit like this.

And Krishna with an eye-catching prediction:

A club that has won all the European cups (CL, EL and the new CL) meets its former boss who has also won all the three cups as a manager. I expect decorum to last till half-time after which the special one will poke Maresca in the eye.

7.33pm BST

7.21pm BST

Real Madrid are up 3-0 in Kazakhstan, with Kylian Mbappé scoring a penalty before netting two in the second-half. The hosts were doing well to fend off the Spanish giants but inexperience cost Kairat with their 18-year-old goalkeeper Sherkhan Kalmurza made a silly foul in the box on Franco Mastantuono. The Kazakhstani keeper saved a spot-kick against Sporting in their first Champions League match but could not do the same against Mbappé.

His second came after Thibaut Courtois caught the hosts’ defence sleeping. Mbappé latched onto the keepers long ball before lifting it over Kalmurza. The Frenchman’s hat-trick was rounded out with a laser shot into the bottom corner.

Club Brugge led at Atalanta after a curling finish from Christos Tzolis. That is now two goals and four assists in six Champions League matches this season (includes qualifying). But the hosts bounced back after VAR confirmed a penalty, Lazar Samardzic pulling one back.

Updated at 7.24pm BST

7.13pm BST

Bayern head to the coasts of Cyprus to take on Pafos and Harry Kane will be keen to add to his Champions League goal tally. He has scored eight goals in his last eight Champions League appearances and is now one of only three players with 20+ goals scored for two different clubs, joining Cristiano Ronaldo and Neymar.

The striker has also scored a century of goals for the club in record time and, somehow, Bayern and Kane is a combination that just makes sense. Here is more from Andy Brassell.

Farther north, Thomas Frank will hope his side can find a creative spark, something they have lacked since the start of the season. While they lie fourth in the Premier League, they are ninth for chance creation.

Last year, most of the games, it was [Dejan] Kulusevski, [James] Maddison, Sonny [Heung-min] and Dom[inic Solanke] who played. Now we have more or less a new front four and they are doing very well. Maybe we are creating more chances, dominating a bit more. All the right signs are there.

6.31pm BST

José Mourinho made his name in European football when he followed up a 2002-03 Uefa Cup success at Porto with a historic Champions League win the next season.

He went on to lift league titles with Chelsea, Inter and Real Madrid and a second Champions League with the Nerazzurri. The Portuguese legend more recently won the Europa League with Manchester United and completed a clean sweep of the major Uefa club trophies by steering Roma to Conference League glory. Now he is back at Benfica, the club where, for a few months in 2000, he took his first senior coaching role.

He faces a Chelsea that is much changed from his days as manager. Enzo Maresca has had an tumultuous tenure so far, with Conference League and Club World Cup highs and injury-woes and in-game management lows. While the comparison with Mourinho’s glory days will be clear, the Stamford Bridge hierarchy firmly believe in their current man and he must use his squad if he wants to win over Mourinho today.

Preamble

José Mourinho is back in west London. The Special One™ returns to Chelsea today with an abundance of memories that swirl around him in his introduction to English football. With three Premier League titles to his name at Stamford Bridge, Mourinho claims he remains the club’s best manager.

But he will have his work cut out for him. Benfica are without a win in their last seven Uefa competition games against English teams, their most recent being a 3-1 away victory against Tottenham in the 2013-14 Europa League round of 16. Plus the Portuguese is winless in his past seven against Chelsea. Can he cause an upset with Benfica today? And will we get a revival of his greatest hits on the touchline?

That is, of course, not all in this jam-packed matchday 2 of the Champions League league phase. Two all-time Champions League/European Cup geography records will be broken today as Thomas Frank’s Tottenham head north of the Arctic Circle to face Bodø/Glimt in the competition’s most northerly match ever. And Real Madrid are 30 minutes into their match against Kazakhstan’s Kairat Almaty, the competition’s most easterly match.

Meanwhile, Atlético Madrid host Eintracht Frankfurt while Ajax head to Marseille.

Plus action in the Championship and League One includes Leicester v Wrexham, Bristol v Ipswich and Blackpool v Luton.
