Welcome back to European football and the second gameweek of UEFA's new format. As will often be the case in this system, there are matches to look forward to which would ordinarily be seen in the latter stages of the competition. Over the next three nights of Champions League, Europa League and Conference League football - strap in for goals, drama and hopefully a few upsets.

19:21 CET - And there's the equaliser for Sparta Prague! A sublime free-kick from Kaan Kairinen has restored parity in Stuttgart.

19:12 CET - Tournament debutants Brest have found the breakthrough in Salzburg, with Abdallah Sima putting the finishing touch on a superb counter-attacking move for the French side.

18:54 CET - And we already have our first goal! Young French midfielder Enzo Millot gives Stuttgart an early lead after getting on the end of an inviting cross and heading home.

18:47 CET - Both early kick-offs are now underway as a big night of Champions League football gets rolling!

18:00 CET - The other early kick-off between Stuttgart and Sparta Prague is a match between two sides that had differing returns to the Champions League. Sparta shocked Salzburg to win 3-0 in Prague, whilst Salzburg lost 3-1 to Real Madrid.

However, there is no clear favourite for this one and with home advantage Stuttgart will be hoping to get off the mark with their first points of this new format.
