Champions League live scores, updates: PSG opens title defense vs. Slovan Bratislava; Liverpool, Arsenal also in action

Paris Saint-German is looking to become only the fourth club to ever win three straight European Cup/ Champions League titles. Les Parisiens begin their quest Wednesday in their opening match of the League Phase against Slovan Bratislava. PSG is off to a tough start in Ligue 1 having earned just two points in three matches and allowing six goals. Manager Luis Enrique knows the reigning Champions League title holders have a target on their backs and they are expecting the best from their opponents. PSG's opponents in last May's final, Arsenal, saw their flight to Italy for their match against Napoli get off to a bumpy start. The Gunners' plane was delayed by technical problems and the team did not arrive in Naples until 9:30 p.m. local time on Tuesday night. Liverpool will host USMNT midfielder Johnny Cardoso and Atlético Madrid at Anfield. Elsewhere, Galatasaray will be without striker Victor Osimhen ( groin ) as they visit Sporting. The Turkish side has won only one of their previous 15 matches in Europe away from home.
