What a disappointing result for Milan against Atletico Madrid! Milan were actually playing better in the first half and they scored a goal also thanks to Leao's really good shot to the right corner of Atletico's goal. But Kessie got a really easy red card as he made very unnecessary fouls. And this was the start of horrifying minutes for Milan. In the second half, Atletico were the highly dominating team and they finally were able to score with Griezmann in the 84th minute. And in the last minutes of the stoppage time, Atletico were given a penalty and Luis Suarez didn't miss this big opportunity to win. It was a really interesting penalty call that I saw it like the ball hit Lemar's hand before.
after yesterday's embarrassment of real madrid, i can imagine today quite well that also fc barcelona will lose the away game at benfica
also i see villarreal with some chances at manchaster united...

It will be a tense game, but I believe in a close victory for Benfica's team, I'm still thinking about a result, but I think 2-1 would be a good bet.
Barcelona without Messi isn't longer the same, but they still have the ambition to win the Champions League. As much as they have only lost to Bayern this season so far, Benfica is in an excellent phase and in my point they have a technically better team. But Barcelona is still a team with a lot of potentials.
I think it will be a beautiful game to watch, let's follow along.
FC Porto vs Liverpool
I see this game with a high probability of ending up in a draw. Although I think Liverpool are far superior, FC Porto style of play often surprises at UCL.FC Porto is not a weak team. Even if the team is strong enough, I think Liverpool will win. Because Liverpool is in very good form now. Their performance in the Premier League is very commendable. They still hold the top spot in the Premier League. And they have performed very well in the past matches. My guess is that they will win against Porto anyway and get 3 points.
Liverpool are simply dominating the match against Porto now and they are 1-0 ahead by the goal Salah scored. Porto haven't been performing good so far but this is still a very risky score for Liverpool and a hope for Porto. In case the first half ends like this, Porto can equalize the score as long as they have a good start to the second half. But I still think that Liverpool will beat them anyway.
Liverpool didn't just beat Porto. They just erased Porto by a 5-1 victory in this away match. Salah, Firmino and Jones were the stars of the night. Salah and Firmino scored two goals each. Jones made two assists to them. Porto were just helpless against them. They performed really weak and deserved this big loss. I watched the match a little and Porto players were struggling a lot.
I just saw the line up for PSG vs City game. Definitely gonna be a tough game. Both teams are fielding about a strong squad like its the champions league final 
Messi, Mbappe and Neymar in the starting line up for PSG and City has their best line up as well. Might opt to watch this game instead of watching my team (Liverpool) vs Porto. I'm sure it would be a closely contested one.
I don't know but PSG has the home advantage here. That should count for something at least? Anyway let's see how it plays out. My bet is on PSG to win.
Good match turned out, it seems that football god was on the side of PSG that day otherwise i cannot explain the crossbar from Grealish at 30 minutes. Messi, Mbappe and Neymar in the starting line up for PSG and City has their best line up as well. Might opt to watch this game instead of watching my team (Liverpool) vs Porto. I'm sure it would be a closely contested one.I can't wait for the PSG vs MS match. There is no doubt in me that MC will win today. With problems like PSG in midfield the MC will easily take 3 points today. Leo Messi alone will not drag because here the partners do not understand him.
I don't know but PSG has the home advantage here. That should count for something at least? Anyway let's see how it plays out. My bet is on PSG to win.
Messi's joy after his goal looked like joy in a football simulator to me i still can't believe he's playing here now.
Looked at the review Milan - Atletico i think everyone here agrees that Milan was better in this match and the referee ruined the game.
I think Chelsea will win today and in general the team is in perfect order i think they are able to defend their title.

Yesterdays matchday really had some great games to watch and also delivered a huge surprise with the win of tiraspol against real in Madrid. I guess no one expected that to happen and every tiraspol Fan that betted a few bucks on the win of his team for fun has made some nice profit now. It just became obvious that this real team is just not the same as it was a few years ago. Just like Barcelona they had to sell important players for financial reasons and yesterday we saw the result of that.
It's weird. Real Madrid's performance is inconsistent and unpredictable. In La Liga, they look good but after a big win against Mallorca, their performance seems to be dropping (draw against Villarreal and had to lose against the Sheriff). Real Madrid play at home and they played a full-strength side but they failed to get all 3 points from Sheriff Tiraspol.In my opinion, Real Madrid's defense looks fragile and Sheriff Tiraspol could take advantage of it, though they had few chances.
As I've said many times Real Madrid have problems with their defence, the defeat against the Sheriff proved that the loss of Ramos and Varane was
very influential. Real Madrid need to sign good defenders in the next transfer window, if the attacking team has difficulty scoring goals, it will be
dangerous for Real Madrid. Especially against teams that play defensively and rely on counter-attack, Real Madrid often have difficulties. But I appreciate
the ability of the Sheriff's coach, in two games in the Champions League managed to win and keep the Sheriff top of group D. Hopefully Real Madrid's
defeat against Sheriff Tiraspol makes Carlo Ancelotti realize that Real Madrid need to buy a new defender.
Very interestingly, Inter couldn't do much against Shakhtar in the second half also. Shakhtar are not that hard opponent recently as even Sheriff defeated them. But Inter still struggled to win the match. They should be thankful to their competitor so that Shakhtar weren't able to score. Because if they scored first, it was going to be even harder for Inter to make a comeback.
Shakhtar dominated the match, but couldn't win and ended the match in draw. I knew inter will have a tough time winning the match, as it was an away match for them. Inter is at the bottom of the group table, and if they continue like this, am afraid they won't make it to Round 16. While the match between Real Madrid vs Sheriff has began, Real Madrid won't want to lose the match, Is their home match. Although, Sheriff seems well prepared for Champion League. Let's see how the match ends.
Real Madrid - Sheriff match ended by a very shocking result. Real Madrid lost to their opponent by 2-1 home. This must be a very embarrassing loss for them as Sheriff are not even a hard opponent. Real Madrid actually dominated the match from the start to the end. But still Sheriff benefited from their few goal chances and somehow managed to win here. Their goalkeeper especially was great and had a big role in the win. And their second goal was also marvelous.
I see this game with a high probability of ending up in a draw. Although I think Liverpool are far superior, FC Porto style of play often surprises at UCL.
Porto let in 11 goals in the past 2 Champions League home games to Liverpool and last night they let in 5, so I think,,, there is a big psychological issue with the team, which is funny because they played better away so expect the Anfield game to be less goals. Maybe some teams play worse with fans pressuring them.
I appreciate PSG's effort a lot as they succeeded in defeating Manchester City by 2-0. It was like there was no way that Manchester City weren't going to score even one goal. But after seeing the match, I really respected PSG's performance. And I was really glad to see Messi's great goal. It was like a classical Barcelona goal that Neymar made a classy assist to him and he took one of his great shots that the goalkeeper wasn't able to do anything about it.
Yes, PSG played well. It needed patience to execute perfectly. Some of the PSG players especially Donnarumma, Mbappe, Idrissa, Verratti were very superb in the game. Marquinhos and Kimpembe put up an elite game. There is still a doubt about What Neymar is doing. He is trying to solo attack to score and refusing to pass. Messi has very few touches but in second half he played really well. Mbappe tried really hard and a beautiful assist for Messi. Mbappe and Neymar still has some problem in passing each other. Over all PSG defence had to be strong in the upcoming Matches. They’ll get better and better.
Bayern Munich are in superb form at the moment, and since Bayern Munich will be playing against FC Dynamo Kyiv at their home stadium, I think there is a high chance we might see FC Dynamo Kyiv being totally demolish by Bayern Munich today.
After yesterday's result, today it will be difficult to surprise me 
.
Main game today is Chelsea - Juventus. Even without Kante, I expect Chelsea to win. Juve doesn't looks impressive and they will be without Dybala and Morata.
Benfica - Barcelona. If we will play like against Levante, we should win. But for current Barca it's not easy to have 2 good games in a row.
Atalanta - Young Boys. Predict Atalanta win and looking at both teams result, it should be high scoring game.
Zenit - Malmo - Zenit to win @1.55
MU - Villarreal. Logic tells that MU should win, but MU games sometimes don't correspond with logic.
Bayern - Dynamo. With all respect to Dynamo, but it should be easy.
Salzburg - Lille. Expect Salzburg to win, Lille doesn't looks like team that won Ligue 1.
Wolfsburg - Sevilla. IMO, most unpredictable game today.

This day will be remembered by all of Moldova for a long time!
Actually, Sheriff don't get that much love in Moldova as you can expect. This club represents unrecognized Transistria state, not Moldova and there just few players in Moldova in this team and they just sit on bench. I dont know if anyone would ever expect that sheriff would win against real madrid in an away game. Just shamefull from Real Madrid and what a step for Sheriff probobly a historic win in the last 15 years of champions league. They are now at the top of the table
I guess it's called champions league for a reason, anyone who's playing in it is a champion. it's a league of shockers and surprises. The Real Madrid players didn’t really turned up. Vinicius Junior is such an inconsistent player, when you think he is now very good he will surprise you. I like the kid but I wish he will live up to the expectations we have for him. And also Hazard, I don’t why why Hazard and Vinicius don’t play well together. Ancelotti shouldn’t be playing hazard and vinicius at the same time, hazard always abandoned his right wing and go to the left causing unnecessary congestion and confusion.

Sheriff is a top club! 
In fact, I don't even understand how they managed to beat Real Madrid away! This day will be remembered by all of Moldova for a long time!
Brugge also surprised, but not as much as Sheriff!
Looking forward to today's matches! Maybe Dynamo Kyiv can beat Bayern?

The surprise of the match day, and at Real Madrid at home. I have to be honest and google where the team is from. Liverpool has also played his game sovereign down and won, the promoters of Group C are almost certain after 2 games.
Bayern is currently playing very well and do not think they will lose their game today.

It's true, of course the people of Moldova will be proud of the Sheriff performance so far, besides because it's their first time appearing in the champions league, the Sheriff has also proven if they can destroy a giant club like real madrid, I think today result will be something quite embarrassing for real madrid, how could it not, a team that only has a squad worth only $13.6 million, was able to beat a team full of stars and even if we accumulated the price of all the Sheriff players it is not worth the salary that Luka Modric has received at real madrid so far ️ In fact, I don't even understand how they managed to beat Real Madrid away! This day will be remembered by all of Moldova for a long time!

I am yet to understand the Mystery that happened this night.
How would football be so unpredictable?
Why didn't my instinct tell me Real Madrid will lose?
I would have been much richer tonight.
This has proven my statement that there is no underdog in champions league. As long as you are playing in Champions league, you are a champion. And a champion can do anything anytime.

There are several things that are notes for Madrid's defeat, Sheriff has been in the spotlight since the qualifying round they managed to beat the favorite team at the beginning
The sheriff also has a strong defense so it is difficult to break in including the goalkeeper, if you watched this game you will know how the Sheriff scores goals really good goal and hard to reach goalkeeper. I'm saying it's not luck for the Sheriff it's really the result of teamwork.
Will Sheriff displace either Inter or Madrid to make it to the round of 16?

It was an interesting match. But for Real Madrid fans, it's a nightmare. A sheriff is small team. No one could have imagined that they would win against an experienced giant team like Real Madrid, even if they drew we would not be so surprised. Firstly, the fate of Real Madrid was too much bad. Secondly, the performance of the sheriff's goalie Athanasaiadis and Yaxshiboyev was dazzling. It seems to me that only the goalkeeper managed to win the sheriff for Athanasaiadis.
