PSV Eindhoven and Shakhtar Donetsk played out a 1-1 draw to open their Champions League campaign at Philips Stadion. 11 Sep 2026
The Ukrainian champions took the lead through Gleiker Mendoza in first-half injury time but Sergino Dest struck early in the second half as both sides settled for a point in a hard-fought contest. Shakhtar's opener came under controversial circumstances as PSV right-back Dest was left on the ground in the centre circle demanding a free-kick but referee Halil Umut Meler let the play continue. Mendoza took full advantage of the United States international's absence in the PSV defence, cutting into the box before firing past goalkeeper Matej Kovar. Dest, however, redeemed himself only three minutes after the restart as he arrived in the box to drill home a low cross from Armando Obispo and restore parity for Peter Bosz's side. Arda Turan's Shakhtar, who reached the Conference League semi-finals last season, and PSV both had opportunities to snatch victory late on, but neither could find the decisive goal. In their next league phase outings, PSV travel to Germany's RB Leipzig on 13 October while Shakhtar host Greek side AEK Athens at Stamford Bridge - where they will play their home games in Europe this season - the following day.
Como made an impressive Champions League debut by defeating visitors RB Leipzig 4-1 in their opening league-phase outing at Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia. 11 Sep 2026
Goals from Martin Baturina and Tasos Douvikas in the first half gave the debutants a 2-0 lead before Assane Diao and Maximo Perrone added to the scoreline after the break on a historic night for the Italian club on the shores of Lake Como. Como have had to wait 119 years to play their first game in Europe, but they only needed 15 minutes to make a mark on the occasion as Baturina pulled them ahead in front of their 11,000-strong support. Douvikas drove into the box and cut the ball back but Leipzig defender Ridle Baku failed to clear and the Croatia attacking midfielder recovered from a slip inside the box to score the Serie A side's first-ever goal on the continental stage. The roles were reversed in the 38th minute when Baturina played Douvikas on goal and the forward slotted past Maarten Vandevoordt to double Como's advantage. Cesc Fabregas' side continued their ascendancy in the second half as Senegal winger Diao finished across goalkeeper Vandevoordt from a tight angle before their captain Lucas da Cunha spurned a gilt-edged chance to score a fourth. Andrija Maksimovic's first-time effort from the edge of the box reduced the deficit for the Bundesliga club but Perrone's fourth for the hosts in the 90th minute capped off a fantastic night for Como.
Lens scored two goals in stoppage time as they came from behind twice to beat 10-man Slavia Prague. 11 Sep 2026
Danijel Sturm produced a piece of excellent individual skill early in the second half to get the opener for Slavia, cutting inside to beat his man before bending the ball into the far corner. His goal came just three minutes after the Czech side were reduced to 10 when Mikulas Konecny, who had only been on the pitch for three minutes after being brought on as a half-time substitute, brought down Abdallah Sima and denied a goalscoring opportunity. Lens made the most of having an extra man and managed to get the better of the Slavia defence as they tired, with Sima turning in from close range after the hosts failed to clear the ball from their box. Sturm thought he had snatched a late winner when he fired in from the edge of the box in the 88th minute, but Lens remarkably turned the game on its head. Florian Thauvin fired in the equaliser in the first minute of stoppage time before Ruben Aguilar scored another two minutes later to inflict misery on Slavia. Slavia travel to Azerbaijani club Sabah at 17:45 BST on 13 October in their next Champions League game, while Lens host Sporting at the same time.
Ismail Kartal resigned as head coach of Fenerbahce just minutes after the Turkish side's 1-1 draw with Roma in the Champions League. 11 Sep 2026
Kartal made the surprise announcement in his post-match news conference, stating he plans to never return to the club he previously served as a player and assistant coach. He came back to Fenerbahce for a fourth spell as manager in June 2026, with the club returning to the Champions League for the first time in 18 years. Now he departs with the team sitting ninth in the Turkish Super Lig after two wins and two defeats, and after only one Champions League match. "I have been here three months. From the beginning of the season until today, the training sessions and camps we held with the players, and the efforts of our president, have been very helpful. Those were wonderful days," Kartal said. "As of this evening, I congratulate my players and resign from my position. "I made this decision to pave the way for my club. We made this decision together as a team. "From now on, to help Fenerbahce, my players and future coaches, I have resigned from my position, with the intention of never returning." Club president Aziz Yildirim has not accepted 65-year-old Kartal's resignation.
Olise scores twice as Bayern thrash Bodo/Glimt. 11 Sep 2026
England captain Harry Kane scored his 55th Champions League goal and Michael Olise struck twice as Bayern Munich began their campaign by comfortably beating Bodo/Glimt. Vincent Kompany's side will be looking to improve on last season, when they reached the semi-finals. They made the ideal start to the league phase with this victory against Norwegians Bodo/Glimt, who put up stubborn resistance in the first half but were then overwhelmed. Jamal Musiala - making his first start of the season - struck early in the second period when Kane's shot deflected kindly for him. That was a historic goal as it was Bayern's 900th in Europe's premier club competition, with only Real Madrid having scored more. Kane then got his goal when he headed in a free-kick, taking his haul to 55 in 71 Champions League appearances. It means he is the third fastest player, in terms of games played, to reach 55 goals in the competition - after Erling Haaland in 49 matches and Ruud van Nistelrooy in 70. It was also his 34th European goal in 39 games for Bayern Munich.Bodo/Glimt rarely threatened but did go close to a spectacular goal midway through the second half when Andreas Helmersen spotted Manuel Neuer off his line and went for the lob from halfway, but the ball landed on top of the net. Alphonso Davies added a third for Bayern in style with a rocket of a shot from the edge of the box, before Olise sent a neat finish into the top corner. A difficult night got even worse for Bodo/Glimt in the final few minutes when Odin Bjortuft was sent off for a foul on Olise, who got his second goal in stoppage time.
