I will simply wait to watch Lever vs Porto as I want to see Lever to get another win and accumulate 6 points that will put them in 2nd place as this group doesn't look fair at all because Bruge didn't play a football to get 9 points but they did it anyway... .
Rangers vs Liverpool should be my 2nd game to watch as most of people will not notice this game...and it might be the best one regarding goals.

The win lifts Chelsea to the top of Group E on seven points, one ahead of RB Salzburg, and Milan remain in third place three points behind the Londoners. Now, Milan have a tough task they have to do in the remaining two games if they want to qualify for the next phase.
Congratulations to Chelsea and the fans. it was a very extraordinary match for them. look at Chelsea's not-so-good performance in the EPL.will be a tough task for Milan in the remaining 2 matches. because the points earned are the same as Dinamo Zagreb, there is no reason for Milan other than to get 3 points in the remaining matches.
quite heavy, but not impossible.
The performance that has been showing by chelsea is very good at this moment. Im a bit surprised about how offensive chelsea this time. Graham can become a good coach for now. I hope that chelsea can go to the final like last year.
That will prove if chelsea has good capability to compete with another big team.
I think this will be a very tight match today.
The Champions League doesn't look so good for Barcelona this season. although in La Liga Barca looked strong without defeat. but it looks like it was all reversed when Barca had to compete in the UCL.Barca still has a chance to qualify, but it seems difficult if they do not perform to the best of their strength. however, Barca has shown good progress from last season. Xavi made a difference.
the match against Inter was quite tough for Barca. but Barca may get a narrow victory.

Another match is available in Group C between Barcelona and Inter Milan, where Barcelona must also secure full points, What is your opinion on this?
I think this will be a very tight match today. At the beginning of the season everyone at FC Barcelona was very enthusiastic because they definitely played better footbal than last season and were also able to produce some really good results in their first matches both in the spanish League and also in the Champions League. Then in the match against Bayern Munich in the CL Barca also showed a pretty good performance in my opinion but they just were not efficient enough with their chances and therefore they have lost this match, which was the first big negative result this season.
Afterwards they have lost the match against Inter too and now Barca is already under a lot of pressure, because if they don't win today, it will probably be the next season where they have to play in the Europa League after the winter break and Barca desperately needs the money from the CL because of their extremely high debts.

What Potter has done so far is quite encouraging for Chelsea and the decision to immediately replace they old coach is right to improve Chelsea's performance which was previously not good, but his current achievement is also supported by good players.
One thing about Chelsea as a football club is that they don't accept excuses, the moment a manager begins to underperform, they get sacked and that has been working so well for them that the new management had to continue this tradition. This practice goes a long way in letting the manager know that what the club wants from him is progress. The club is willing to finance whatever player the coach wants provided they can guarantee the club continue progress especially in cup tournaments.
Chelsea history has to do with newly appointed manager leading the team to success. Both champions league winning season had this same story and the good thing about this is the plan actually works because the boys fight for their position as the incoming coach never favor previous starting 11. The new manager also has alot to prove so he is always determine to play the best fit players to get the wins even though it means getting on some nerves.
Nice to see Chelsea playing like this, the coach is really trying his best with the confidence his is building in the team. Chelsea have played three matches on a row without conceived any goal that means teams the team defenders are doing great job. Seeing Chelsea ending the game in 2 - 0 was a surprise thing to me because ACM is not a small club, infact currently they are in form. I can see now that Chelsea is really ready to fight for this champions league
I previously thought that changing coaches at Chelsea would not have much effect. but it turns out I was wrong. because since Graham Pottee came to coach Chelsea, Chelsea changed completely. even chelsea's game and performance now is very good. and twice beat Milan is an achievement that deserves thumbs up. because it is true that Milan is a strong team. but with the victory chelsea proved that Chelsea became stronger now under coach Graham Potter.in the group H. Maccabi Haifa appeared surprising by being able to beat the Serie A giants Juventus at the Sammy Ofer stadium where the hosts were able to silence Massimiliano Allegri squad 2-0 which made the Juventus coaching chair hotter after this defeat.

What do you think about Atletico Madrid - FC Brugge? I think this time Atletico win. On the other hand, Brugge has 9 points and if I am not wrong just 1 more makes them sure to be in the next phase. 1 point in 3 games, that's doable, but for sure the sooner the better.
Atletico Madrid desperately need a win in Group B and Diego Simeone is well aware of his position at the bottom of Group B, but KV will not stand still, he will not let his winning streak in Group B crumble. I'm sure it will be an exciting game, where Atletico Madrid need a win and Club Brugge defend their position.will los rajiblancos go berserk?
The red card that Tomori received was considered by some on social media to be inappropriate, he should have been given a yellow card and a penalty. But it seems the referee was very clear on his decision and all parties should be able to accept this decision. in the second half no goals were created until the last minute. Maigan absence was very influential on the AC Milan defense and also Tomori red card made the atmosphere of AC Milan game feel like it was out of control. Fick ac milan must accept the harsh reality in this match and their chances in the champions league will be very small to qualify for the next round.
Do not be fooled by the referee's judgment; prior to AC Milan's red card and subsequent penalty, Chelsea outperformed them. Because Leao held the ball for too long, the game was lost. He needs to get better at giving out passes on time. The Chelsea players were consistently in the Milan 18-yard box last night, and Milan fans should be aware of this. Chelsea was a top team, well-mannered and confident. All Milan can do right now is concentrate on the group's upcoming games and work on improving both their offense and defense. Apparently, Milan's defense failed to perform well in the Champions League match because they lacked top players to defend against in the Italian league. if they make it to the round of 16 stage. they won't qualify for round of 16 with these poor defenders 
With the defeat of Juventus by Maccabi Haifa, it has given a definite result that Juventus has fallen in the Champions League, because Benfica and PSG only need one more point to continue to advance to the next round. The difference in points between Juventus and Benfica and PSG is 6 points, so even if for example Juventus won the remaining two matches Juventus would only have a total of 9 points. But with a performance like that, Juventus will not get a win in the next two matches, because the opponents Juventus will face in those two matches are Benfica and PSG. Therefore, it is certain that Juventus have been eliminated from the Champions League, although there are still two matches left in this group stage, but that still will not make Juventus to qualify.
And at the moment Benfica is playing better than Juventus, and the next game will be at Benfica's home. So if things continue more or less as they are, Benfica should win this game.
Now, it will not be an easy game for Benfica, as Juventus will try everything to beat Benfica, as it will be the decisive game. But even if he wins against Benfica, he will hardly win against PSG. Unless PSG makes it very easy, which I doubt.
Actually Benfica only need 1 point to secure a place in the group standings with 9 points and Benfica have chances at home
I have personally observed that the ones who qualify are PSG and Benfica because Juventus lost in the last game
Looks like we won't see Juventus in the next stage.
Another match is available in Group C between Barcelona and Inter Milan, where Barcelona must also secure full points, What is your opinion on this?
I think many will depend if they change their mind and stop relying on Lewandowski (only). He plays well in the league, but in Champions League he fails. Maybe he will be extra motivated today.
I think Barcelona will win this time. In the last 2 games it was 2:1 (2019) and 2:0 (2018) - of course we may say it was a different era, but home field helps, no?
What do you think about Atletico Madrid - FC Brugge? I think this time Atletico win. On the other hand, Brugge has 9 points and if I am not wrong just 1 more makes them sure to be in the next phase. 1 point in 3 games, that's doable, but for sure the sooner the better.
BTW, di you know that in Brugge (population 120k) there is also another football club which plays in the top level Belgian league? Cercle Brugge K.S.V., but as I see the are now at the bottom of the table...
Atletico Madrid need a win in this match, in order to have a chance to be on a good track in the Champions League, the three matches they played in Grub B only managed to collect three points, while the rest of the matches they must be able to secure full points.BTW, di you know that in Brugge (population 120k) there is also another football club which plays in the top level Belgian league?

If in the remaining matches, Atletico Madrid does not play consistently and does not secure full points, it is certain that Atletico Madrid will be in danger of qualifying for the next phase.

I also think Atletico Madrid have to beat Brugge in this home game because they are in last place in the group. Brugge have unexpectedly won all three games against the other teams as well and have 9 points. Atletico are now in last place, but with the same number of points as the other clubs. And they really need this win. BTW, di you know that in Brugge (population 120k) there is also another football club which plays in the top level Belgian league?

The manager of Club Brugge KV have done a magnificent job for leading his team to gain 9 points in Group B after 3 games played, but I think it will not be an easy task for Club Brugge KV to beat Atletico Madrid away from their home stadium today. With the home support of playing this upcoming match in front of their home fans, I guess the players of Atletico Madrid will be putting in their best effort and they should be able to emerge as the winner at the final whistle.
I think so. Maybe the good times for Club Brugge are over. I hope not, we need a "new boys" in that games.
Atletico was quite disappointing last days, but we will see. Last game Atletico-Brugge was almost exactly 4 years ago, 3:1. Then there were two games in Belgium (0:0 in 2018 and 2:0 recently)
All in all - a good result for Dinamo yesterday. We needed a win but considering that Salzburg struck the bar 2 times in the last 20 minutes and was really dominant in that period of the game, we have to be happy with a draw. I would not call it undeserved - it was probably the most fair outcome.
Dinamo now has a home game against Milan - and a win there might just be enough to secure EL knockouts. Still - beating Milan won't be easy and would represent a big accomplishment.

The match was very competitive. Both teams tried equally to win the match. And I would say the defenders of both teams performed very well. If the defenders didn't play well, we would have seen a lot of goals in this match. But I think the result was satisfactory for both the parties.
The battle for Group E is getting very intense. Which two teams will qualify for the next round is still completely uncertain. All four teams are likely to qualify for the Round of 16. So every upcoming match is important for all the teams. Even top-of-the-table Chelsea will not qualify for the next round if they drop points in their next matches.

AC Milan losing twice from Chelsea is a clear sign that the Italian teams cannot compete with the English teams. Maybe it's all about the money. 
The best performing Italian team right now is Napoli and I really hope that they continue in the next stage of the Champions League.
Juventus and AC Milan aren't in a good shape and they probably won't reach the quarterfinals. I'm sure that AC Milan has the ability to win against Dinamo Zagreb and Saltsburg, but I'm not sure about Juventus getting out of their group and going into Europa League.
Another big disappointment is PSG failing to win against Benfica for the second time. The French team doesn't show a great performance and I can't put them in the list of the big favorites for winning the Champions League.
