LASK 0-2 Liverpool
You feel that Andoni Iraola will be delighted his £123m signing Bradley Barcola has opened his account for Liverpool.
He could be a huge player for the Reds this season.

There were just 96 seconds between those two goals.
Pretty good going if you ask me.

Lucy Ward
Former Leeds striker on TNT SportsThey have had the majority of play and a number of corners that they haven't taken advantage of. Araujo has gotten closer and closer each time.
It's great movement, good strength. He gets up early with just enough power on it to take it past the goalkeeper. Great delivery from Tsimikas.

Bradley Barcola (24 mins)
Another who opens his Liverpool account.
It's absolutely brilliant from Rio Ngumoha to work his way into the box, he drops to the deck and there's a bit of a scramble but Bradley Barcola sweeps home for his first in Liverpool red, or white for tonight.

Ronald Araujo (22 mins)
The big man opens his account!
Ronald Araujo has been looking dangerous at these corners and now he makes LASK pay.
He gets up highest from Kostas Tsimikas' cross and powers into the bottom corner.

LASK 0-0 Liverpool
Florian Wirtz is seeing plenty of it on the edge of the box but his ball for Ryan Gravenberch is a little too heavy.
LASK don't quite deal with it though and concede the corner.

This time it's Florian Wirtz who threads it through for Bradley Barcola, whose first touch isn't great but the offside flag comes to his aid.

Just finding a little bit of space when there isn't any. Just couldn't get the finish.

Rio Ngumoha loses the ball and LASK break down the left. No danger for Liverpool there though as the cross is horribly sliced behind Alisson's goal.

After two years where Slot was very reluctant to trust the youngsters in anything other than the Carabao Cup, it’s refreshing to see Iraola giving them a chance.

Liverpool are in total control right now.
They're playing the game in the LASK half but not really creating anything of any note.

There's a great noise in the stadium tonight and why wouldn't there be? It's the first home game in the Champions League proper for LASK and it's against six-time winners Liverpool.

The loose corner falls to Florian Wirtz in the box and he shows great footwork to dance past his man before firing an effort at Lukas Jungwirth.
That's what Liverpool fans want to see from Wirtz.

Stuttgart have won their opening two main phase matches of a major European competition for the first time since the 2010-11 Europa League
ByMichael Emons
BBC Sport journalist
Stuttgart maintained their winning start to their Champions League campaign as they overpowered Slovan Bratislava.
Denis Undav gave the Germans a 29th-minute lead with a low shot across home goalkeeper Dominik Takac, and Josha Vagnoman almost made it 2-0, but hit the crossbar.
Sandro Cruz hit the woodwork in the second half for the Slovakians with a powerful strike just after the hour mark, but then three minutes later steered the ball into his own net to double Stuttgart's advantage.
The hosts only recorded one shot on target and Stuttgart grabbed their third goal in the 90th minute with substitute Ermedin Demirovic scoring with a close-range header from Lorenz Assignon's excellent cross from the right wing.
Stuttgart defeated Norwegian side Viking 3-1 on matchday one and are one of nine sides to have won their opening two matches of the league phase in 2026-27.
Meanwhile, Slovan Bratislava, managed by former Manchester City midfielder Yaya Toure, are bottom of the 36-team league with two losses from two games after they began with a 6-1 thumping at European champions Paris St-Germain.
Slovan Bratislava play at Roma next Tuesday on matchday three with Stuttgart at home to Atletico Madrid.
