As a fan It's pathetic to witness Barcelona get eliminated from the group stages in the UCL, but I wouldn't say I had high hopes coming into today's match, I was more of hoping that Benfica could would fail to win against Kiev, but that turned out to be a waste of hope as well.
Not so many upset overall, Man Utd and Chelsea failing to win would probably be the most unexpected results for today.

The ranking didn't change today in the Group G. Lille were leading by 8 points and Salzburg were following them from one point behind. And the last matches today were Wolfsburg - Lille and Salzburg - Sevilla. I wasn't expecting Lille to lose this match and they even destroyed Wolfsburg by 3-1. But honestly, I was expecting Sevilla to win today. But somehow, Salzburg secured a 1-0 win and ended the stage at the second place. We are going to continue to watch Sevilla in the EL later.
I must admit that the score 3-0 is quite successful for Barcelona - Bavaria missed a few 100% of the chances. I watched the whole match and I can say that I am very disappointed by the lack of fans - with an empty stadium, the game seems to be a simple practice. Hopefully in Germany these ridiculous restrictions will be lifted as soon as possible.
Lewandowski could not repeat Ronaldo's record, and if I remember correctly in this match he did not even strike a single shot on target.

Bayern 3:0 Barcelona. We didn't had anything to offer against Bayern.
As guessed, Barcelona seems not have any chance to win Bayern, moreover with that score 3-0. Bayern really left other clubs in group E considering this one club won 6 times from 6 matches, without losing, without drawing.
Unbeatable.
especially as we know that Barcelona still has not been able to rise from adversity.
I can't believe that Manchester didn't win against Young Boys again, but in last moment I switched my main pick to Lille double chance X2 and they destroyed poor Wolfsburg.
Easy win for Bayern Munich with 3:0 against Barcelona that is falling apart and it's out of Champions League on the road to Europa League.
This is probably one of the worst season in recent Barcelona history.

And it is the end of the road for Barcelona in the Champions League now. They needed to beat Bayern Munich to be able to continue here but their performance level was not good enough to even get close to a win. As a result, Bayern Munich destroyed them by 3-0. Benfica beat D. Kyiv by 2-0 and stayed in the tournament. From now on, we are going to watch Barcelona in the Europa League unfortunately. But they are already one of the favourites to win that tournament.
this will become the new norm for Barcelona for a few years,, the new AC Milan in spain
they're not even favorites to win the europa league, West Ham, Napoli, Dortmund, Leverkusen and many other teams are 10 times better than this mid table Barca side,, end of an era, dark times ahead
possible games in RO16: Chelsea - Bayern, Inter - Man City, Liverpool - PSG, Man Utd - Atletico Madrid

Bayern 3:0 Barcelona. We didn't had anything to offer against Bayern. About what we can talk when we scored just 2 goals in group stage. Only Dynamo and Malmo scored less. Welcome to Europa league.
While Benfica simply did what they were supposed to do.
Salzburg won against Sevilla, this is something unexpected. It was very poor campaign for Sevilla, but now they can move to their favourite tournament
.
Lille beat Wolfsburg unexpected easy.
Young United squad didn't managed to beat Young Boys. But it wasn't enough for Young Boys and they didn't even reached Europa league.
Zenit - Chelsea was great game. When did last time Werner scored twice? And what goal equalizer by Ozdoev on last minute.
Atalanta - Villarreal posptponed to tomorrow, direct fight for 2nd place.

So Juventus got luck today and won the group stage with the "suicide of Chelsea".
Good but some high-risk teams will be on pot 2 too, like PSG.

So most likely Barcelona will fail to qualify for the next round and have
to play in the Europa League. I'm sure this hurts the Barcelona fans a lot, and it's a real shame for Barcelona. I didn't expect Barcelona's
performance this season to be so bad, seeing Barcelona in La Liga who is in 7th position is a shame.

Barcelona was carried by Messi for years so yeah this happened after Messi left. Well actually they were just decent since last years so this is bound to happen anytime sooner. I thought that Munich will go easy on Barcelona because they dont really need to win this game but they decided to use this opportunity to knock Barcelona out of the UCL
So we've get to the end of the group stage and Liverpool, Ajax as well as Bayern Munich ended up winning all 6 games in the group stage.

Oh, I already knew why the game ( Atalanta - Villarreal ) was postponed
All my entire time of watching the UEFA champions league I haven't yet seen Barcelona dropping out during the group stages, I think it's about to happen Barcelona are at the brink of dropping out, and what's worse is that it's Bayern Munich that's dealing them the blows, this just crowns how Barcelona has gone from top of the food chain in europe to now almost being kicked out of the uefa champions league, this is a complete shame.What happened? why aren't playing?

I'm also used to seeing Barcelona always qualify from the group stage, but now the temporary result is that Barcelona are two goals behind
by Bayern, while Benfica are already 2 goals ahead of Dynamo Kyiv. So most likely Barcelona will fail to qualify for the next round and have
to play in the Europa League. I'm sure this hurts the Barcelona fans a lot, and it's a real shame for Barcelona. I didn't expect Barcelona's
performance this season to be so bad, seeing Barcelona in La Liga who is in 7th position is a shame. Now the reality of Barcelona having to be
eliminated in the Champions League group stage is even more embarrassing, it looks like Barcelona supporters will be very disappointed
to have to see Barcelona so slumped right now.

They don't play due to bad weather condition, they will play tomorrow at early, I guess it's 16:30 in local time.
For Barcelona part I think they are done now. Benfica is leading and Barcelona have no chance to make a come back. Benfica will advance to next round by being in second place. Maybe this is better for Barcelona. Europa League is easier to play. Their young players can gain experience and maybe win something out of it.
Benfica already wins 2-0 and now everything depends on the outcome of the Bayern-Barcelona match.
I know they always say that it's not over until it's over but my mind tells me that there is no way Barcelona is surviving Europa tonight. Let's wait and see the remaining 45 minutesIt seems the antidote for Tuchel's chelsea men has been found, for weeks now they haven't lived up to where tuchel placed them, and although they had qualified they could have left on a high level, but drew to zenith saint petersburg, regardless I see an English team wining this seasons UEFA champions league, and it's either the current champions chelsea or Liverpool, more of the latter though, because I haven't seen them play any better than they are playing right now
Indeed Liverpool is striking right now while Chelsea dropped a little comparing to the previous games. Although they didn't receive many goals but they finished second, a late goal placed Juve in the first place and Chelsea second. 
Atalanta - Villarreal
We'd have to wait till tomorrow to find out who would qualify in group F after Man Utd. As for Bayern vs Barcelona, another interesting 45 minutes about to be enjoyed. I'm loving the game so far even though Bayern has been the better of the two teams so far. Everyone was expecting Bayern to win so it's just going as everyone anticipated

The Chelsea board should be held accountable for the sudden drop in inform of our defenders; they are all out of contracts, and the chances of them being extended are slim. Rudiger or Christensen, or both, will most likely be lost in the coming days. Without Kante, Kovasic, or Chilwell, the team isn't the same. Regrettably, we finished second, behind Juventus.Saul is a terrible player who has made no progress since arriving from Atletico Madrid; now I see why he was benched for the majority of the season; he can't even make a basic pass; he is the worst player to wear the blue shirt since Bakayoko.
Guordiola had made statement about losing Walker in round 16 UCL knockout is hurtful, he had been very consistent in that right back position for Man City playing many matches this season, that tackle on RB Leipzig player Andre Silva is uncalled for, I watch the match it was kick from behind and a deliberate tackle, at time when City was trailing them with two goals to one, had it been City needed a win or a draw to qualify fo the next round got sent off thus that would have been a big disappointment for the club.
Not many people could cover that position back and forth as quickly as he does. His speed is always respected but why it matters never really truly understood by many people. His speed matters a lot because that means he could both defend wingers very well and cover them quickly but also it means that he will be capable of attacking with the team and be on offense whenever they have the ball.This is a very important deal because if you have 2 wing backs like Walker, that means you would be 3 defenders at the back at all times, and 2 wing backs attacking with the team, then as soon as you lose the ball then you will have 5 defenders with two wing backs quickly getting back.
Losing Walker doesn't just mean you lose a good player, there are many good players on that team, but it also means some changes in strategy and maybe considering a four people defence a bit more defending and a bit less helping with attacks.
Benfica already wins 2-0 and now everything depends on the outcome of the Bayern-Barcelona match.
I know they always say that it's not over until it's over but my mind tells me that there is no way Barcelona is surviving Europa tonight. Let's wait and see the remaining 45 minutesIt is a pity that Ronaldo is not playing today and he cannot repeat his record (to score in all the group stage matches). But today Lewandowski can do it.
I believe Sebastian Haller of Ajax also scored in all the 6 group stage matches IIRC.
