Football Tracker: Man City win, Celtic draw with Atletico, Newcastle lose at homeAFP
Welcome back to the Football Tracker as Celtic, Manchester City and Newcastle all dig into another round of Champions League fixtures.

23:17 BST - That's a wrap for another round of Champions League fixtures - see you next time!

22:40 BST - Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola was understandably happy to see Erling Haaland rediscovering his goalscoring touch.

Speaking to TNT Sports after beating Young Boys 3-1, Guardiola said he'll be scoring goals "his whole life."

"It is important to have the chances, the people want him to fail.

"I am sorry but this guy will score goals all his life, with the chances he is an incredible threat.

"The players need the ability to find the pass like Kevin de Bruyne and Ilkay Gundogan. But he is going to score until the last day he plays football."

22:36 BST - Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers was bursting with pride for his side after this evening's 2-2 draw at home to an in-form Atletico Madrid:

"We scored two outstanding goals," he told TNT Sports in his post-match interview.

"We aim to start fast in every game. We want to impose our style and mentality.

"We defend very much together, we showed immense courage on the ball.

"To play to that level against an outstanding side shows the growth of the team." 

22:30 BST - Newcastle boss Eddie Howe told TNT Sports after his side's defeat that he didn't think they deserved to lose tonight:

"Tactically they were good and gave us problems in central areas. In the second half we were a lot better, unfortunately the ball would not go in.

"The intention was there but we're up against elite teams. You make half a mistake and get punished.

"We grew into the game in the second half with the chances we created and the woodwork denied us. Now we have to do it the hard way in the group.

"It is going to be difficult but we are in the Champions League. Nothing comes easy.

"We need to sit down and analyse the game. When you play a team so quickly again we need to work out how we adjust and see if we can go there and get a result.

"I don't think we deserved to lose today."

22:17 BST - Manchester City have maintained their perfect start in Group G with a relatively simple victory over Young Boys:

Celtic are still pushing for a winner in their game...

21:56 BST - Late drama at St James' Park! A shot cannons off the bar for the home side as they desperately search for an equaliser.

No VAR check for that one.

21:09 BST - Goal! Manchester City finally take the lead - Rodri floats a lovely ball into the box for Manuel Akanji to head home. It's 1-0 to City.

20:47 BST - Goal! A swift Dortmund counter sees the home side fall behind. The German side go 1-0 up.

We have a game on our hands here.

20:27 BST - Goal! Joe Hart gets a hand to Antoine Griezmann's penalty and pushes it onto the post, but the ball rolls unbelievably kindly back to the Frenchman who can simply slot it back towards goal. 

It's now Celtic 1-1 Atletico Madrid.

"He has enormous experiences, and some of them, while not the nicest, they've been necessary to (shape) the player he is today. I'm really happy to have him in the team.

"He came here for a reason; he changed our world. He's brought so much belief and energy to the team, and he needs to step into those moments. That's why he played, and he's done that.

16:30 BST - After a solid performance last night against FC Copenhagen, Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag has been full of praise for a rejuvenated Harry Maguire:

Ten Hag said defender Maguire, who was also excellent in Saturday's 2-1 Premier League win at Sheffield United, is playing much more proactively in possession.

"Stepping in passing vertical, defending also on front foot, stepping in defending forward, very confident in the duels, he is dominating, dominating his opponents," Ten Hag said.

"And then you see also a very good skill from him with his heading, great pass from Christian (Eriksen) as well but very good finish."
