Milan is almost out to have a small chance they need to beat Atletico with 2 goals of advantage and hope for a bad result of Atletico with Porto.
Inter recovered from the bad start of the group stage and now they just need some draws to get the access to the final stage.
Borussia is also in a delicate spot.

Ajax played an awesome match against Dormund. From losing in the first half, to winning the match full time. They made a massive come back in the second half and probably scored 3 goals, which enabled them to achieve 3 points against Dormund in an away match. Although, Dormund had a red card in the first half, and also Haaland didn't play the match, this made the match more tough for Dormund to win. And they ended up losing with 1-3 score.
A great winning from Liverpool, I never expected them to win with clean sheet, I literally thought, Atletico Madrid will score, but Liverpool performance was indeed impressive. While Atletico Madrid ended the match will 0 shot on target, very surprising.

... To get back on the truck they must attack, although it has the potential to concede more goals. But without counter-attacks, it is not possible to win or draw against a strong team like Liverpool.
The manager must have realized there's no chance to level or score a goal so he decided to minimize the damage. It was a smart choice since they are still in a position to finish second. Goal difference could be the difference come matchday 6.Next match will be against Milan while Porto to face Liverpool.
Firstly, I am not sure that Pep Guardiola would have returned to Barcelona in its current state. Guardiola is already used to working with clubs that have high ambitions and these ambitions are backed up by a good financial condition. With all due respect, the current Barcelona, with all its problems, hardly fits this definition. Barcelona now needs an anti-crisis manager in the current difficult conditions and Guardiola does not have serious experience working in such conditions without any guarantee of a successful outcome. The club's management is also unlikely to bring such guarantees, so there is hope for the arrival of Xavi. Another question is that Javi does not have such experience either and there is a serious chance to ruin his coaching career. Therefore, many questions remain.
I don't think any coach can help Barcelona at the moment.
Barcelona is in a big financial and organizational crisis and needs urgent changes, and financial help from a new sponsor.
This is not something the coach can handle but the club management.
Barcelona must give up its big ambitions and focus for the next few years on saving the club financially and preventing the club's bankruptcy.
If the club's management asks the new coach for results, while the club is currently in chaos, this will not be possible and any coach will simply burn out in these impossible circumstances, including Xavi.
The current reality of Barcelona is that this season they are far from titles in both the Spanish Championship and the Champions League, and the club's management will have to understand this as soon as possible and dedicate themselves to saving the club and the future of the club.
Borussia 1:3 Ajax. Dortmund weren't able to keep positive result till the end and Ajax take deserved win. I would say that red card and penalty even with VAR review was questionable and it had big impact to the game.
Liverpool simply outplayed Atletico again and they already won group of death.
Seems that Sheriff dream come to an end. But they still have very good chance to go to Europa league playoffs.
Didn't watched Leipzig - PSG game, but can't say that I'm very suprised about result. PSG don't look impressive at all.
City and Sporting big wins is something more or less expected.
I watched multicast so I saw bits of all games. Ajax was my favorite from the start and I expected them to break Dortmund even sooner. It was a harsh red card for Hummels and maybe a weak penalty for Dortmund. Yes they can both stand but I am quite sure that some other ref would not award them.Liverpool simply outplayed Atletico again and they already won group of death.

Besiktas was missing lots of players and Sporting had easy job tonight. PSG - Leipzig was a great game and it could have ended as win for either of them. Maybe it is most fair that they took one point each. Brugge was very good before City broke them in last 20 minutes. I have a feeling they will take some more points in this group.
The last call for Milan Today, they have only 1 result and it needs to be a win.
-snip-
Milan: sir yes sir!-snip-
Milan after 6 minutes: 0 - 1 Porto
Odds for Milan are right now @4.1 and for Porto @1.85, seems promising!
Generally a team that score fast will accept goals later so might Milan score or Ibra save them? Or just neglect CL and focus on Serie A..
So, Milan still scored his first point
a little late, but the funniest thing is that in certain options Milan can even get into the playoff stage. I am inclined to assume that in the next round Atletico will beat them and this is where Milan's torment ends. Even if they get into the Europa League, they will most likely play there with a reserve lineup, since in Serie A they are doing super well.

Georginio Wijnaldum's two goals in the first half gave PSG a 2-1 lead. Messi is not in the squad today due to injury. My expectation was that Neymar would play well today. Because he has not done so well so far this season. His performance in today's match is not satisfactory. However, the second half looks set to be even more competitive. Leipzig is playing very attacking. I think they will score in the second half too.
PSG is winning the match 2-1. But I didn't like the way they played. RB Leipzig are playing very well and they do not deserve defeat. Leipzig is ahead of PSG in ball possession. Moreover they have tried to attack more than PSG. Although I would not say that the attacks were very good. However, they made 16 shots, while PSG made only 7. The match was competitive. However, we did not see any good gameplay today from the 3 players of PSG's Forward, Neymar-Mbappe-Di Maria.
The first match of Atletico Madrid vs Liverpool was competitive. But today's match is completely one-sided. I can see the reign of Liverpool from the beginning of the match. Atletico Madrid can not made any chance to attack. Atletico Madrid's gameplay has slowed down after Felipe was sent off. To get back on the truck they must attack, although it has the potential to concede more goals. But without counter-attacks, it is not possible to win or draw against a strong team like Liverpool.
athletico seems to have lost its way in the current game. and they must focus on defending so as not to enter more goals and this result will certainly make Liverpool firmly at the top of the standings.On the other hand, this is already a win for Liverpool because it will be difficult for Atletico to catch up with a two-goal margin under these conditions.
because 11 v 10 is definitely a hard thing to win
A boring and one-sided match we enjoyed. Liverpool controlled the entire game. Ball possession Liverpool 73% and Atletico Madrid only 27%. Moreover, Atletico Madrid could not make any goodattack. They made 3 shots in total. None of these were on target shots. We don't expect such poor gameplay from Atletico Madrid. If Griezmann had been in the squad, the gameplay at Atletico Madrid would have been more controlled. Griezmann scored two goals in the previous match against Liverpool.
It looks like Milan is fully focused on Serie A as it has not won a single game yet in the Champions League group stages.It is most probably already out of any International competition during this year as it will be eliminated most likely in Champions League and its focus will be only Serie A this year.However the biggest obstacle they face this weekend in the local derby,if they win it most probably they are going to be crowned as Serie A Champions.It is a shame to see a name like Milan which has won several times the Champions league perform so badly this year.
They've been trying to get point in every match, but they haven't done well. AC Milan's strength seem to just disappear in the Champions League despite having never lost in Serie A so far. Now they will only focus on Serie A because there is no hope of qualifying even for the Europa League. Still, Shakhtar looked even better than Real at times, especially in the first half... By the way, today they scored their first goal in this Champions League!
Milan were also lucky that the ball bounced off a Porto player... Milan looked much worse today than when they played at home against Roma...
But in the end, Real Madrid was able to beat Shakthar back with the final score of 2-1 and it was still a good win and Shakthar sank further by one point, just waiting for the result of Sherrif vs Inter Milan this will be very tense and Inter Milan will definitely dominate the game this. Hopefully, Inter Milan wins with Sherrif.Milan were also lucky that the ball bounced off a Porto player... Milan looked much worse today than when they played at home against Roma...
Therefore, in front of the big teams, we will see Ancelotti relying on low defense and relying heavily on transformations because opening the field to high-quality players would be a scandal in terms of the outcome.

My focus is on Dortmund play with 10 players and without Haaland then score or maybe win the game is this just luck?
In another match Liverpool was on fire for the 2nd time Atlético were defeated complete Liverpool's 4 wins , nice games

I put a highly ambitious Betbuilder on this game, most of the boxes should be ticked off already. Now only need Salah to score, not let Atletico score last and get 5 more corners so I hope we don't slam the brakes like we did against United.
I hope your bet wins, I just think might Liverpool might be cautious with the number of games they've dropped points after leading this season, but having a man advantage would likely change the approach come second half.
Inter have finally broken the dead lock, all I need is for them to secure the win and PSG to win as well...
Ajax are playing their worse game of the season in the UCL so far this season, I would have fancied them to cause an upset tonight, but it looks as though that wouldn't happen, despite having a man advantage over Dortmund, but Dortmund are doing a great job, being very disciplined at the back.

Can someone please enlighten me as to why, L. Messi wasn't featured in the game, his not even on the bench. Apparently, I've not been a fan of PSG lately neither am I a big fan of L. Messi but him missing this game,could be for obvious reasons for which, Di Maria, Neymar Jnr and Kylan Mbappe would handle. Though, I don't think he @Msssi would be missed much on the pitch, he haven't being making much of an impact. Its been him struggling to get ahead and get the goal scoring going.
Milan has been terrible thus far and Rela Madrid did there fans proud once more.
He was not included in the squad because he was ruled out with Injury. He picked up the injury in the last match when they were playing against Lille.Milan has been terrible thus far and Rela Madrid did there fans proud once more.
With the firepower PSG have, I don't think they will miss him that much.
~snipe~
Can someone please enlighten me as to why, L. Messi wasn't featured in the game, his not even on the bench.PSG without Messi, whose figure is a key player and is now one goal behind Leipzig but I see strikers Neymar, Mbappe and Di Maria are nothing short of and they are still good players, however PSG without Messi must really be Overwhelmed.
Overwhelmed?By the way PSG have been performing well in most matches without Messi this season. Anyway, they lead by 2 goals to 1 towards half-time.
but after seeing PSG's good performance in the first half and already leading the score again, I'm excited to see the score, and in the second half there will definitely be another goal.full member

That was some blazing fast start from Liverpool, while Atletico actually still look dangerous up front. Yellow card for Mane seems to have fired him up as he just brushed off everything to help set up, then score the second goal! Thought the Ref did seem to have it in for him... and then he showed he didn't like nonsense when he sent off Felipe for refusing to come to him to get his caution. Damn. Even I thought it was harsh but hey, gotta respect the ref.
