Real Madrid vs Juventus 1-0: UEFA Champions League – as it happened

Thank you for joining our coverage of the Champions League this evening.

Real Madrid maintained their 100 percent start to the season in this competition with a 1-0 win over Juventus.

Stay with Al Jazeera Sport for more football coverage this weekend, but for now, from me, Adam Hancock, and my colleague Kevin Hand – goodbye!

“Defeats always make you angry, but the attitude we saw tonight was fantastic. It’s the foundation from which to build for all the matches to come,” the Juventus keeper told Prime Video.

We have plenty more football on the way for you this weekend.

As mentioned, we will have live coverage of El Clasico on Sunday as Madrid host Barcelona at the Bernabeu.

Before that, we will have all the updates from Liverpool’s trip to Brentford in the Premier League.

That game kicks off at 8pm local time (19:00 GMT).

Real Madrid have a huge game this weekend as Barcelona come to town.

Los Blancos have a two-point lead over their fierce rivals at the top of La Liga and will look to increase their advantage in El Clasico.

That game kicks off at 4:15pm local time (15:15 GMT), and we will have live coverage.

Elsewhere and Juventus travel to Lazio on Sunday as they look to revive their stuttering start to the Serie A season.

More from Courtois now as he celebrated his 300th appearance with a win:

“I’m very happy with the win; it was a very tough game with chances at both ends, and we had to sweat for it, but it was an important win against a big team.

“They are Juve, not a small side, and when they defend with 11 men and want to go on the counter, it’s not easy,” he told Movistar.

Real midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni has also given some reaction:

“We’ve started this group phase in the best way possible.

“We faced a good team that defend well – and so for us, it’s not so easy, but we were confident we would score.”

Los Blancos are one of five teams with a 100 percent record after three games in this season’s Champions League.

They sit fifth in the table ahead of their mouthwatering trip to Anfield in a few weeks.

Juventus are currently in the elimination zone, although they have a favourable run of fixtures to come. Their next assignment in the competition is a home game against Sporting on November 4.

The Old Lady suffered another loss this evening, following that shock defeat to Como at the weekend.

The pressure continues to intensify on Igor Tudor, with a lot of speculation that his job is on the line.

The Italian giants played fairly well this evening and had chances to snatch a point, but it wasn’t to be, and they remain 25th in the Champions League table.

It wasn’t a vintage Real Madrid Bernabeu performance, but the Spanish giants have secured all three points thanks to Bellingham’s second half goal.

He has Vinicius Junior to thank for the build-up to that goal, but someone still has to put the ball in the back of the net and Bellingham was on hand to do it.

Madrid can now turn their attention to El Clasico at the weekend – although they will have to play better than tonight…

Madrid deal with the corner and counter – with a chance to score a second.

They don’t, but it doesn’t matter as the referee blows up and Madrid have secured the win.

It wasn’t pretty, but they got the result in the end.
