23:20 BST - That about wraps things up for us tonight! Thank you for joining in - we'll be back tomorrow when a host of teams are in action. Some of our highlights are linked below:
22:43 BST – Aston Villa manager Unai Emery was reportedly delayed speaking to the press after catching up with Prince William at full-time, but - eventually - told TNT Sports:
"We want to be consistent to play in Europe (regularly)."
When asked about Jhon Duran, he said: "We are working with him. Most important is his attitude. He's available to play 90, 60, 30 minutes. He's been focusing each minute he's playing. Today we had two very good strikers. It's fantastic for him and the team.
"Against teams like that, it's very important to be strong. Martinez did an amazing job, amazing saves.
"We have to try to play each match. We compete very well, we won. Maybe we can get the first eight positions."
22:34 BST – Liverpool manager Arne Slot has spoken of his delight at keeping a clean sheet against Bologna tonight.
He told TNT Sports: "It wasn't an easy one, in my opinion Bologna made it difficult. Similar to Atalanta, man-mark all over the pitch. Wait for the right moment if you play through completely open - it was many times. The last pass could have been better.
"If we play against a team comfortable in ball possession, sometimes you have to work hard, suffer, what I was delighted with was how they throw themselves in front of the ball, do everything to try and keep a clean sheet."
22:27 BST - Alexis Mac Allister has been giving his reaction to TNT Sports following Liverpool’s 2-0 win over Bologna.
"I’m really happy personally... for the team. He (Alisson) made some good saves. Sometimes I think we need to defend better, at least Ali showed how good he is. I’m happy for him and for the team.
"It is clear we are in transition, we are happy with the ideas, we are trying to get there. There is room for improvement, that's why we work very hard every day."
22:20 BST - Aston Villa's Emiliano Martinez has been speaking to TNT Sports after their incredible 1-0 win over Bayern.
"It's unreal to be fair," he said. "This is the loudest Villa Park that I've heard since I joined the club, that's for sure, it was hurting my ears at some point.
"It's a club that is moving forward. It's the main reason why I stay in this football club. I love playing here, I love the fans, this is a win for them."
He added: "The first time (Duran) touched the ball, he lobbed Neuer, one of the best goals in history.
"It's a statement, there's still a lot to play. We want to qualify… in the top eight. It's one step at a time, we've got Bologna at home now in our second game, we are probably more relaxed but we want to win every game."
22:10 BST - Here’s the full-time results from the Champions League tonight:
22:05 BST – Stay with us as we’ll bring you all the key reaction as soon as we get it.

You can read our match report here.
21:50 BST – 10-man Juventus were 2-1 down to RB Leipzig but are now leading 3-2.
There is two minutes of normal time left at Villa Park, and we’re into injury time at Anfield. Nerves are jangling around Europe.
21:39 BST – GOAL! Lift-off at Villa Park! The stadium erupts and Prince William is off his seat cheering.
Super sub Duran collects the ball 30 yards from goal and unleashes an unstoppable first-time shot over the back-peddling Neuer and into the net. Villa lead Bayern 1-0! Wow.
That was a fantastic goal. It’s Duran's fifth goal as a substitute this season.
21:32 BST – GOAL! Salah collects the ball outside the area and curls a beautiful shot into the top corner. Relief around Anfield as Liverpool go 2-0 up against Bologna.
21:23 BST - It’s close at Villa Park...
And it’s far from comfortable at Anfield…
21:20 BST - A couple of changes for Villa: Amadou Onana appears to be injured and is replaced by Ian Maatsen, while Leon Bailey – who came on earlier in the match – is replaced by Ross Barkley.
21:15 BST – GOAL! Over in Lisbon, Atletico Madrid’s Conor Gallagher - who only came on at half-time - has conceded a penalty that Angel di Maria converts. It’s 2-0 to Benfica.
21:05 BST – And we’re back underway.
At Villa Park, Musiala replaces Coman for Bayern.
21:00 BST - Alexis Mac Allister's goal has proved to be the difference for Liverpool at half-time. Here’s his heat map from an enthralling first 45 minutes against Bologna:
20:55 BST - It’s half-time around Europe. The headlines: Real Madrid and Juventus are both trailing.
20:49 BST - It’s half-time at Villa Park and, aside from the injury to Ramsey, Aston Villa will be delighted with how that first 45 minutes have gone.
The whistle has also blown at a hugely relieved Anfield. Liverpool are 1-0 up at the break.
20:41 BST - It’s a close contest at Villa Park, but Aston Villa are looking more likely to score at the moment.
20:35 BST – TNT Sports pundit Joe Cole is spitting feathers at how badly Liverpool are playing at the moment. It’s all Bologna, who are creating wave after wave of attacks.
Fellow pundit Peter Crouch agrees. "You can sense (Anfield) is getting a little bit nervy", he says.
20:28 BST - Ramsey comes off injured for Villa. How big will that moment prove to be tonight? Bailey comes on to replace him.
20:23 BST – GOAL! Villa Park erupts. Torres collects the ball in the six yard box and smashes the ball across the face of goal to give Aston Villa a 1-0 lead.
But wait… it’s been ruled offside. Agony for the Villans. It's still 0-0.
20:17 BST – Nunez charges through on goal and scores for Liverpool – but it’s been ruled out for offside.
20:10 BST – GOAL! Mac Allister pokes home at the far post to give Liverpool a 1-0 lead.
20:08 BST - Martinez has just pulled off an incredible point-blank save from Kane, but the England captain was adjudged to have been narrowly offside. That was close for Bayern.
Over at Anfield, Dallinga had a goal ruled out for Bologna as he too was caught narrowly offside.
20:00 BST - Radu Marian Petrescu is the referee at Villa Park and Nikola Dabanovic is in charge at Anfield. Both have given a short blast of the whistle and we’re underway!
20:58 BST - Players are walking on to pitches all over Europe and over at Villa Park, fans have been treated to a pre-match fireworks display. Lovely stuff.
"This is the Champions League" says a buoyant Rio Ferdinand on TNT Sports. Just in case you didn’t know.
19:41 BST - The full-time whistles on tonight’s first two Champions League matches have blown.
Feyenoord hung on to beat Girona 3-2, while over in Gelsenkirchen, Atalanta strolled past Shakhtar 3-0.

"It is a special, special match for everyone," said Emery at his pre-match press conference on Tuesday.
"We are motivated and so excited to play tomorrow with our supporters in Villa Park. Remembering as well the final that Villa played against them 42 years ago."
16:13 BST - Xabi Alonso said yesterday that Bayer Leverkusen are expecting a typically dangerous game against Italian opposition when they host AC Milan tonight.
Milan made a poor start to the season, failing to earn a win in their opening three games, and while they also lost their Champions League game to Liverpool they have turned things around on the domestic front with three successive victories.
"An Italian team is always dangerous," Alonso said. "They know how to have patience. They are ready to defend low or to play with possession.
"Milan don't have to be dominant to be dangerous. Sometimes they have good possession, sometimes they have good counter-attacks."

"When you have won four Premier League titles in a row in one of the toughest leagues in the world and a Champions League winner two years ago, we accept we are favourites when we play," Guardiola told reporters.
"They did not give me 2-0 before the game - it starts 0-0, same pitch. We have to prove it.
"We will put out the best team possible to compete and beat them.
"I have huge respect for them, and the patterns they make, but we will try to impose our game."
