Chelsea played incredibly well against AC Milan in today's Champions League encounter. This is their first victory in the Champions League this season and Graham Potter's first victory in Champions League as manager. They controlled the game, particularly in terms of shots on goal. I can tell that the players are adjusting to Graham's playing style as he starts to understand them better. Chelsea may be back to winning after recording two straight victories; let's hope they can maintain this drive.
A well-deserved win for Chelsea. Chelsea is gradually developing into a good form under Graham Potter's watch. Which is a good thing. All Chelsea players improved in their performances than their previous match, where they were struggling and missed the chance to score.

As for now, Salzburg is topping with 5points, Chelsea and Milan have 4points while Zagreb has 3points. Chelsea is just topping AC Milan with a goal difference. Next week, will be an away match for Chelsea against Milan, by then we would be after which club will take the first or second position in the group stage

Haaland is such a special player that he scored 2 goals even though he played for only 45 minutes in this match. I understand why Guardiola replaced him with another player this much early because he needs to think of the Premier League on one hand.

Sometimes I don't understand this managers, things like this are why this young players will hardly leave up to the expectations of Ronaldo and Messi. Haaland was on his way to another hat trick and you deprived him of that whe  you know you can win any premier league game even without Haaland starting. Pep should have left him on the pitch to get that one goal even though he had to play just few minutes in the second half. It was another easy win for Manchester city so I guess all played out fine.

Chelsea returned to be a strong team again after they have Aubameyang in their squad. Now, Chelsea attacking looks better than previously, they can be productive again in scoring.

Our attackers aren't at their best yet although there has been some improvement and that has to be accredited to the manager as he has been abel to make the squad adapt his style of play. Thomas Tuchel was killing our attacking threat as he was more concerned about not conceding than scoring but that's not the case about our new manager. Big congratulations to him as it seems this was his first clean sheet and glad for kepa leaving up to the trust in him by making that close saved. Good result in general.

A good result for Chelsea. Much better performance in the second half. I think the first goal gave us the confidence. Take this confidence and form to the next six games, and our season will be very much brighter again. Glad to see Kepa Arrizabalaga with a clean sheet. Hope he is getting back to his beast form here and onwards. He already won my heart for trying to fight for his place at Chelsea Football Club. Meanwhile, the best way to use Jorginho unveiled and simplified. Bring him in when game is settled since he  prefers to pass to Thiago Silva than the attackers.
Carney Chukwuemeka and Zakaria also deserves playing time to boost their confidence and team spirit.
Next is to complete the work in Milan and be comfortable on the table again.

But I wonder how Shakhtar will play against Real Madrid, because they beat Real away a few years ago. Probably in the second half Real will not allow them to score more, but Shakhtar don't want to lose yet.
Real Madrid played very freely in the 3rd match against Shakhtar. Real Madrid has more control over the pitch than Shakhtar. Despite a narrow win with a 2-1 result, thanks to goals from Rodrygo and V. Junior. I think these two young Real Madrid players are Madrid's mainstays in every game. They can help every game even though Benzema's form has been subdued after being injured in recent weeks.

WHO IS ERLING HAALAND?

Erling Haaland is a young footballer from Norway for loves football  and goal scoring more than anything. Haaland is that player who doesn't have anything to prove again. He is totally unstoppable by any defence. Haaland does not only score in almost every match, but he also assists in also every match.
The world of football have been wondering who will replace Messi and Ronaldo, while we were looking at Neymar and Salah from no where Haaland came to the stage.

Now one sad thing is that we won't see him in the world Cup.

Haaland got 2 goals and 1 assist against Copenhagen before he was substituted.

For the City game against Copenhagen, I was expecting a hat trick from Haaland in the first half but unfortunately he got a brace in less than 40 minutes, it was yet again another beautiful performance from City and the goal made easy Haaland getting 2 goals after scoring a hat trick against Manchester United last weekend n the derby match, good game for City and a wonderful outing from the guys .

I was not comfortable with Pep's decision to substitute Haaland in the second half. I have the feeling that he has deprived him a hat-trick in the match. He shouldn't limit the guy,  not even now that he is on fire. I understand that Haaland is important to Manchester City team and that is why the substitute him to reserve him. It will also not make him not to be injured if injury wants to come. Some people even get injured during training. Guardiola should not make Haaland and fans feel bad. He is in competition with other scorers in Champions league, allow him to use the weak team to increase his goal tally.

PSG really lost two points huh.

It was a very lucky moment for Benfica I believe. Because they were really helpless in the second half. PSG did everything they could to get a win here but somehow it ended by a 1-1 draw. PSG are still comfortable in the group of course. But maybe they might have missed the opportunity of guaranteeing their lead by the fourth group matches already.

PSG are not very comfortable in the Ligue 1 as there is a Marseille threat right behind now. Therefore PSG had better secure the lead early here to focus on the Ligue 1 more until last 16 stage in the Champions League starts.
PSG losing points in games that they would have won is a very dissapointing. One true fact about the game is that, Benfica didn't come out to dominate the game with PSG, but we're cautious of their defend lines with and besides it's there prime, let them make good use of it. PSG on top of their UEFEA group table and they needs more playing time in other. PSG boss, Christophe Galtier really wants to win trophies and makes his job to be safe.

PSG should be able to beat Benfica, if we look at the match statistics PSG dominates and creates more chances. Unfortunately the match ended
in a draw, and it was a very disappointing result for PSG, because PSG had to drop points. It must be admitted that Benfica has a very solid defense,
it can be proven by PSG players who have difficulty scoring goals. Even though PSG shot up to 15 times, it seems that luck does not belong to PSG,
because for 90 minutes PSG can only score 1 goal. Currently PSG have the same points as Benfica, and that means PSG's position at the top is not safe.
I hope Galtier can make PSG's performance even better, because I see PSG's performance has not been too optimal this season. With the quality of
PSG's players, PSG should be able to show a much better performance.

City - Copenhagen is 3-0 at halftime. I didn't expect anything other than a result like this. Now Dortmund also seems to be in good order with a 0-3 score from Sevilla. They have that match in their pocket. Most eyes will now be on Chelsea against AC Milan where Chelsea are currently 1-0. AC Milan are a team that can score easily, but some days it is extremely difficult. Haaland has already scored 2 times today, so that's going well again. I suspect a hat trick can be added for him.

I just watched the highlights of the Sevilla - Dortmund match and i have to say that apparently the match way closer than the result of 1-4 would suggest. Sevilla also had quite a lot very good chances to score but they just were not effective enough with their chances and the goalkeeper of Dortmund also made some really good saves. Dortmund was very effective in the first half with their chances this is what made the huge difference today. I don't follow the Primera Division that closely but i was very surprised when i heard that Sevilla is currently only on the 17th position in the Spanish league. They are definitely playing way better than that.

This is very disappointing. Fortunately, they are still in the top standing in the group.
PSG has many football superstars, there Messi, Mbappe, and also Neymar in their attacking lines. Who doesn't know them?
But, why PSG sometimes plays inconsistently and disappointingly? Or, because there are too many superstars in the attacking lines, they may be going to show that one is the best, without thinking more about the club's solidity and unity.
Well, if they are not able to decrease their egoism and cannot play very well so far, their performance will not be as good as another team again. Although we know that this club is actually a giant club, with great squads, good financials, and another positive thing. Hopefully, this club will not disappoint again in the next match vs Benfica again.

At least this is still something good although it's a shame they couldn't make 3 points in this match.
Actually this is something that is hard to believe because a lot of their chances were wasted actually, and with this especially for this season it seems I'm starting to doubt again that they can achieve better things in the Champions League this time because when you see now there are a better team than them in my opinion and more suited to be champions.

You're right, Chelsea caught our eye today, a big win 3-0 against a strong team from Serie A is proof that they are back on track
And Aubameyang managed to score one of the goals at the same time proving that Arsenal should regret letting him go  Cheesy
The struggle for the standings in Group E is quite tight, at least 4 teams still have a chance to qualify Salzburge, Chelsea, Milan and Zagreb.
Chelsea returned to be a strong team again after they have Aubameyang in their squad. Now, Chelsea attacking looks better than previously, they can be productive again in scoring. By winning 3 goals against a big team like AC Milan, we realize that Chelsea gradually improves their performance in UCL and in EPL as well. Sure, Arsenal should regret it but they have Gabriel Jesus now, he is a great striker too.

Regarding the chances of 4 teams in group E, I believe Chelsea and AC Milan will be qualified at the end of the group stages. Although basically, it is difficult to determine which team to be qualified for because the point gap is only 1-2 points, even Chelsea and AC Milan have the same points. It is very interesting to see the results of the next matches in this group, it may determine which team to qualify.

PSG were the favorites in that game, but the fact is that Benfica played at home for anything today. Benfica tried to keep things good for today even though they couldn't score, but they were lucky that PSG didn't score much in this match which only Messi managed to do in the first half.

Neymar and Mbappe couldn't score even though I believe they had chances too. So this draw is actually not what PSG supporters want, but of course they don't lose much in this match because PSG are still leading the group standings. Of course it's disappointing for PSG fans, but that was the best result today for the match.

I understand why Guardiola replaced him with another player this much early because he needs to think of the Premier League on one hand. Copenhagen were already an easy opponent for them and Haaland's leaving the field didn't affect Manchester City much as they still won 5-0. Manchester City are one of the teams that have the most impressive stats in the group stage. But the most important part will be their performance after this stage. Unless Haaland gets injured it really feels like they are invincible.  Cheesy
The Pep's boys keep bagging their point and maintaining their unbeaten streak in the group stage. Haaland's signing has made them so formidable and has added so much to their strength that i doubt if there is any club in the cL at the moment that Manchester City can't withstand

It was interesting to see PSG losing points after 1-1 result by the way. I was quite confident about them to win this. PSG improved their dominance in the second half very much but still it didn't help. I appreciate Benfica's solid resistance. It was interesting to see Galtier replacing Messi with Sarabia in the 81st minute while they were searching for the winning goal.
The home goal by Pereira cost them their win, PSG remained the favourite even till the end of the match. The second half was full of brilliant saves from Donnarumma. PSG had a nice dominance in the second half but were unable to seal up the complete 3 points. Galteir substitution of Messi was needed even though he needed the goals but trying Sarabia wasn't a bad idea he should start getting prepared incase of injury

PSG and Benfica ended in a 1-1 draw with enough pressure actions from the parisians. I was expecting PSG to win the game but to our greatest surprised, they draw the game. It's a well done job for benfica as they sealed the draw points, not giving room for PSG to score. Other games like Real Madrid and city, real madrid deserve the winning points after a long run from first half while city thrashed their opponents without mercy. Such a entertaining night in the champions league.
I didn't watch the whole game since the first half, but I think Benfica are very motivated to get points in this game. Benfica are also a good team in the last 2 Champions League matches against Juventus and Maccabi Haifa, so for sure they will be very hopeful to win this match too. A good defense was their mainstay today to prevent PSG from scoring more goals.

This match is a home match for Benfica, so it's only natural that they are more motivated than PSG. But in the end, it was PSG who gave them 1 point today because Benfica didn't score but Danilo did. I would think PSG can avenge this mistake at home later.

Until the match was over, PSG and Benfica no longer scored so 1-1 remained as the final score. Messi scored, that's good for him of course but I don't think this final result was in PSG's favor today.

In other matches, Real Madrid and Manchester City won their respective matches. Real Madrid struggled to win against Shakhtar while Manchester City managed to silence Copenhagen without giving them a shot on goal. The dominance of Manchester City made them win with a score of 5-0, again Haaland continued his positive trend of scoring goals.

I think one thing is missing here, Erling Haaland is the newest goal made easy in football history.
Haaland can score against any team and his presence is seen in all matches that he plays not like some players that will be hidden when they play against big teams Haaland is so extraordinary and I think Ronaldo and Messi will be pleased to see a better replacement of them while they are still playing.

For the City game against Copenhagen, I was expecting a hat trick from Haaland in the first half but unfortunately he got a brace in less than 40 minutes, it was yet again another beautiful performance from City and the goal made easy Haaland getting 2 goals after scoring a hat trick against Manchester United last weekend n the derby match, good game for City and a wonderful outing from the guys .

Paris Saint German having trouble with benfica as they're drawing the game at halftime. We would be expecting more actions in the second half but the parisians will keep the pressure on this time in the second half. Benfica will maintain their style which is counter football and defensive game. PSG keyplayers doing their best in the game but they're relenting much and they don't come out for marking which makes them looks weak infront of tackles. Let's hope for more goals in the second half.
Until the match was over, PSG and Benfica no longer scored so 1-1 remained as the final score. Messi scored, that's good for him of course but I don't think this final result was in PSG's favor today.
