Matchday Two of the Champions League begins with Real Madrid travelling almost 4,000 miles to face Kairat Almaty of Kazakhstan this evening. That is one of nine matches to look forward to tonight, and you can follow all the big moments with us live right here.

19:33 CET - It's been mostly one-way traffic, unsurprisingly, in Almaty, where Real Madrid lead Kairat 1-0. The Spanish giants have created plenty of chances, but only hold a slender advantage at the break.

Can the Kazakh side cause an upset? It feels unlikely, but listen to our live audio commentary to find out.

19:31 CET - Half-time in Bergamo, and it is Club Brugge who still hold that one-goal advantage over Atalanta. It's been a very even half across the board, but can Ivan Juric's side find a leveller in the second half?

19:23 CET - Advantage Club Brugge against Atalanta. Seven minutes before half-time, the Belgian side have taken the lead through Greek forward Christos Tzolis.

19:12 CET - Goal for Real Madrid! Kylian Mbappe steps up from the spot to send Serkhan Kalmyrza the wrong way and stick it in the left corner. It's the Frenchman's third goal in the competition so far.

It's been coming, and now Kairat Almaty have a lot to do.

19:08 CET - Real Madrid ramping up the pressure now, with Arda Guler and Kylian Mbappe both going close for the visitors. They have 70.1% possession so far as they try to break down Kairat's low block.

19:00 CET - It's been a hectic start at Kazakhstan, where the hosts Kairat Almaty have started fast in what is a raucous atmosphere. 

Vinicius Junior has had the best chance for Real Madrid, going one-on-one with the goalkeeper, but his chip goes wide of the mark.

18:45 CET - We are underway in our two early games. What surprises and drama do we have in store tonight?

17:42 CET - The team news is in for Real Madrid's trip to Kairat Almaty, with the Spanish outfit making several changes to their starting XI.
