UEFA Champions League News

Kylian Mbappé said he's happy to follow coach Xabi Alonso's instructions -- and work hard off the ball -- to "help the team win trophies" after scoring twice in Real Madrid's 2-1 comeback Champions League win against Marseille on Tuesday.

Gabriel Martinelli has revealed he told his team-mates how he would exploit Athletic Bilbao just moments before coming off the bench and sending Arsenal on their way to victory.

Kylian Mbappé is the fastest player to reach a half-century of goals for Real Madrid since Cristiano Ronaldo, but he's a long way off the club record.

Just 16 days after leaving on loan, Nicolas Jackson could come back to haunt Chelsea with Bayern Munich on Wednesday.

With a host of young players in the Champions League squads, we look at the next breakout stars under the age of 21 this season.
