That's all from me this evening. Thanks for joining us.
Arsenal went into their opening Champions League group game unbeaten since February but it was reigning European champions Barcelona that put down a marker with a comprehensive 4-1 victory.
Take care and see you all soon.

In case you missed it...
Ada Hegerberg made her return from a 21-month injury absence as Lyon beat Hacken in the Women's Champions League.
The tournament's all-time top scorer came on with 12 minutes to go of the 3-0 win in Sweden.

FT: Barcelona 4-1 Arsenal
Probably the only consolation for Arsenal tonight is that they will not be bottom of Group C.
The reason for that being that earlier on Tuesday Hoffenheim beat HB Koge 5-0.
Small mercies.

FT: Barcelona 4-1 Arsenal
Barcelona had 37 shots during the course of that 90 minutes. At times it felt like defence versus attack.
Team to beat?
FULL-TIME
Barcelona 4-1 Arsenal
Relentless performance from the hosts. They have well and truly thrashed Arsenal.

Alexia Putellas steps up to take the penalty but sees it saved by Arsenal keeper Manuela Zinsberger.
PENALTY
Barcelona 4-1 Arsenal
Jordan Nobbs concedes a penalty for a foul on Alexia Putellas. The Arsenal midfielder is fuming saying she didn't touch the Barca midfielder.
But there's no VAR to bail her out and she also gets a booking while protesting.

Can Arsenal finish with a flourish?

Barcelona 4-1 Arsenal
Nikita Parris wants a penalty for Arsenal. The former Manchester City and Lyon winger chases after a ball into the area and gets there at the same time as Sandra Panos.
The home keeper looks like she might need a bit of treatment and replays suggest she just got to the ball first. Good decision by the ref to wave that one away.

Barcelona 4-1 Arsenal
With all their pretty football you would not think of Barcelona as a set-piece side but it seems they are handy at them as well.
Irene Paredes gets forward for a corner and forces Manuela Zinsberger into a fine save at the near post. Leah Williamson then hacks the ball to safety.
Arsenal just about smuggling the ball to safety again.

Still the hosts pour forward.

Delightful finish. Arsenal defender Leah Williamson is caught out as Lieke Martens runs in behind her.
Williamson gives the Dutch international a shove trying to put her off but she's not catching her.
Martens stays on her feet, accelerates clear and strokes in the fourth for the hosts, lifting the ball over the diving Manuela Zinsberger.

Mariona Caldentey strolls off as Bruna Vilamila enters the fray for Barca.
Caldentey has been brilliant this evening.
SUBSTITUTION

Mana Iwabuchi comes on for Kim Little. What impact can that change have for the Gunners?
Post update
Barcelona 3-1 Arsenal
Can Arsenal force their way back into this match? Nikita Parris tries to feed a pass down the side of the home defence but that is just cut out.
SUBSTITUTION
Barcelona 3-1 Arsenal
AnaMaria Crnogorcevic, who conceded the free-kick for Arsenal's goal heads off to be replaced by Swedish international Fridolina Rolfo.
As if Barcelona need to freshen things up.
GOAL - Barcelona 3-1 Arsenal
Frida Maanum
A super delivery from Tobin Heath sees Frida Maanum bundle the ball home for the visitors.
The Arsenal changes have definitely had an impact. Nikita Parris won the free-kick there.
Post update
Barcelona 3-0 Arsenal
Brilliant play from Arsenal who build from the back and almost score a wonderful team goal.
Kim Little's deft flick gets her out of trouble on the edge of her own box and Nikita Parris is so unlucky to see her effort cleared off the line at the other end.
Post update
Barcelona 3-0 Arsenal
Can Lieke Martens score with almost her first touch? No. The Barca midfielder slices her effort wide.
