That Red card booking wasn't in anyway worth it, the game official single handedly spoiled the game from the beginning. That was a clear penalty, but to be fair enough, I'd lie if that slight hand placed on Mason mount by Tomori was enough to be booked.
Can I go back to revive the card ? The response is clearly no, maybe VAR can both look into it and reduce the penalty to him playing the next game though if they think I wasn't meant to be carded.

Although, if you looked at Tomori, he out stepped his bound's as he over laped and it was just too much to cover that space behind especially when you're not a pacy defending player behind. Good for Chelsea and Per Emerick Aubameyang, he showed desire he wanted that goal, Raheem Sterling was clearly ahead of him but he demanded to score and he did.

Judging from the game of yesterday of Juventus in Israel I would "bet my house" on a Benfica win in their home soil.The fact that they got two draws against PSG should tell you a lot about their capabilities and I think they can very well end up the head of the group here while it is a sure thing they will qualify further and Juventus won't.

Even in their Primeira Liga they are doing great and are one of the best if not the best team there which will most probably be Champions there if they continue to play like this.Sorry for Juventus but their maximum is Europa League now,they are out of the Champions for me.

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.

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.

Good for Chelsea to have leveled up so fast defeating Milan yesterday was actually surprising, and Milan's performance was actually poor, I predicted a draw but Chelsea wanted a straight win they got it without fear great Ajax plays Napoli today at 17:45 since both teams seek positions in the champions league  Napoli eliminated their third consecutive Champions League opponent last week, rallying from behind to thrash a shell-shocked Ajax 6-1 in Amsterdam, further solidifying their status as one of Europe's most fluid offensive groups. Rangers Liverpool which starts 20:00 and in this a go for a straight win for liverpool.

At least, Chelsea have bigger hopes after getting 7 points, than any other team. Previously, there was a lot of doubt that Potter would not be able to lead Chelsea in the direction of improvement. however, he was able to bring Chelsea in a direction of change and was quite satisfying even though it didn't really look very solid.
with Chelsea's current form, it shouldn't be something difficult to get full points in the rest of the next game.
bad luck for AC Milan, they have to fight hard to win the rest of the next match.

For Manchester City, the win against Copenhagen was not important. But I expected them to win. I bet on Manchester City to win and I lost the bet. City players did not make an attack much in this match. They played very carefully. Because they will face Liverpool and Brighton in the next two matches of the Premier League. Both teams are strong enough. And to occupy the top spot in the points table, Manchester City needs to get full points in both of these matches. Unless any key players are injured, I think Manchester City will be able to continue their winning streak in the Premier League.

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.

With only 1 win and 3 losses, Juve lost any chance to stay in CL. I didn't expect them to lose, and for sure I didn't expect they will lose without even scoring a goal against Haifa... There's some problem with Italian clubs that started last season, it seems they can't do much. Milan lost against Chealse once again, in two games they couldn't even score a goal. I guess that early red card wasn't fair, Tomori was sent off for pulling back Mason, but that wasn't some "real pull" after I saw slow motion from different angles.

Well, today Napoli is playing against Ajax and Inter is going to Barcelona... Napoli is playing very nice with all 3 wins in CL, but Ajax desperately needs points if they wish to stay in the race. I guess it will be a lot harder for Inter... Bayern is definitely first, but that second place is for Inter or Barca, so I expect a very tough game tonight!

It was plenty of unexpected results for champion league tonight that Madrid, Manchester City and PSG draw and Milan and Juventus has been lose and this is not lucky day for the bettors because i am sure most of us has been lose to bets for these teams especially Juventus that they has come as the favourite before the match begin most of people will predict this is will be easy match for them because Maccabi Haifa quality is far below to Juventus but the fact is they can flipped people prediction and won 2-0 and for Juventus it's time for them to looking for the replacement of Allegri because Juventus under him is similar such as mediocre team

There has been a lot of player rotation in the Manchester City team and even though they failed to win the game, they ensured themselves to qualify for the round of 16, so far there are only 2 teams that have ensured themselves to qualify from the group, namely Manchester City and Real Madrid.
It's only natural that Manchester City failed to win the game because they didn't play at full strength.

I watched the match and I could the improvement in the Chelsea team. Every player who featured in the game has improved massively. 8goals in 3 matches, 0 goal conceded. What a massive improvements under Graham Potter. Aside the fact that they have been winning games, the player’s work rates have also been fantastic.
 

Literally disaster for Juventus yesterday. Israeli didn't have win in last 20 years at champions league and they won. I was expecting at least draw from Juventus. They missed Di Maria in match after his injury yet they really made it very hard to go 2nd round in champions league. I think they will probably replace manager. Juventus can't be like some middle rank Italian team, its results are terrible and they need fix as soon as possible.

Copenhagen were lucky that city were one man down in the game in the early 30th minutes of first half. Manchester city was issued a red card in the game and also awarded a penalty which Riyah Mahrez failed to impress both his teammates and the Coach with missing the penalty. City were playing like they're complete and kept the pressure on the homeside. Pep Guardiola not starting Haaland, all ears that he wants to give room to other players to enjoy city game.

really beyond my expectations Copenhagen able to draw against Manchester City. although throughout the game Manchester City looked more pressing. but all to no avail. and the only goal that was created turned out to be invalid. And I think Erling Haaland's not playing in that match was really one of the reasons. but Copenhagen played well to hold Manchester city to a draw. And it seems that the reason Haaland didn't play in this match was because the coach wanted to give other players a chance to play.

Incredibly Potter was able to bring Chelsea to a better direction even though he was previously considered to be inexperienced in the European league stage. Chelsea fans are very happy to see their team able to give their best performance as well as victory over AC Milan makes Chelsea will have the opportunity to secure a ticket to the knockout round.
After getting full points from AC Milan as one of the toughest opponents in group E, Chelsea have 2 games left. Dinamo Zagreb and Salzburg can be said to be easy opponents for Chelsea, from the remaining two matches, Chelsea need 1 win and one draw to go to the knockout round.

AC Milan are loosing it because they failed win the blues the two times they have met in the champions league. Instead the blues kept clean sheet against them and even Olivier Giroud Milan fans were counting on couldn't deliver when the time was up for him. But some players like scoring against their former team, even though it's assist they will make sure they achieved it. Like Erling Haaland that score against Dortmund when they met. While for the rissoneri, they still need to be serious in their games because there's still problem in the group for who will qualify.

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.
Chelsea have gone through a tough game even with a convincing score so it shouldn't be for another match make them fail to pass from the group stage, because what's interesting about this group is that so far there is no team that is certain to qualify to the next round

Yes, Chelsea is more higher than AC Milan in this season, because Chelsea defeated them 3-0 in the first leg hoping Ac Milan will use home advantage to win Chelsea in the second leg, but the match later ended for the favour of Chelsea again. I think, this is a sign to other teams that many things has changed positively in Chelsea and they are in good position to defeat any strong teams to improve their points. AC Milan coach need to work on their defense before their next match, because their defense was so weak for Chelsea strikers to achieved all those goals to defeated them.

UEFA Champions League my picks for tomorrow's game

SSC Napoli VS Ajax Amsterdam

Stake odds for this game are 1.55 for Napoli, 4.80 for the draw, and 5.40 for Ajax, Well this is pretty much obvious on who's going to win here Napoli is pretty much dominant within group A, so my pick will be Napoli, but maybe I will stay away with the betting because of the odds, but I will compute my chances,

Bayer 04 Leverkusen VS FC Porto

The stake odds for this game are 2.04 for Leverkusen, 3.80 for the draw, and 3.50 for Porto, this could be a draw regarding the performance of Leverkusen but maybe I will settle a bet for Leverkusen, to win against Porto,

FC Barcelona VS FC Inter Milano

The Stake odds for this game are 1.47 for Barcelona 4.90 for the draw and 6.60 for Inter, in their first game it seems that even though they have Lewandowski in Barcelona Inter is pretty much lucky for getting that 1st goal and it seems Robert Lewandowski is having a hardtime making his moment, it seems that they are still adjusting to the way Lewandowski play, so for this game, the odds are for Barcelona but I will risk with the underdog and bet for Inter Milano,

FC Viktoria Plzen VS FC Bayern Munich

The Stake odds for this game are 16.00 for Plzen 8.40 for the draw and 1.17 for Bayern Munich, This is surely a one-sided, game but if there would be a miracle and Viktoria Plzen wins then this is pretty much a great big haul for people risking it to Plzen, with that much of an odds I am staying away with the bet and my pick is Bayern Munich,
