UEFA Champions League News

Pep Guardiola has hinted that Man City are going under the radar as contenders for this season's Champions League.

Real Madrid have confirmed Trent Alexander-Arnold picked up a hamstring injury in Tuesday's Champions League opener.

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.
