The European champions have made the job: Real Madrid, the three-time defending champion, Juventus Turin, Bayern Munich and the two Manchester have secured their ticket to the last 16 of the Champions League on Tuesday night.
The other two qualifiers for the fifth day are AS Roma and Ajax Amsterdam, while FC Barcelona secured their ticket on 7 November. The most anticipated duel of this penultimate day of the group stage pits the PSG in Liverpool Wednesday at the Parc des Princes.
In the group E, wagered in the league of Germany with a worrying 5th place, Bayern Munich has found the smile thanks to a large victory against Benfica (5-1), synonymous with qualifying in the 8th finals of the Champions League. We will see if this result allows coach Niko Kovac to keep his position in Bavaria, while names were already circulating to replace him. Veterans Arjen Robben, author of a double, and Franck Ribery scored.
Robert Lewandowski flies away
Robert Lewandowski has also scored twice and is at least temporarily taking the lead of the scoring charts this season with six goals in C1. A little earlier, the young Ajax Amsterdam team confirmed their potential by qualifying for the 8th thanks to their victory against AEK Athens (2-0). The Dutch had not reached this stage of the competition since the 2005-2006 season!
In Group F, Lyon, who won 2-1 on the Manchester City pitch, again defeated the English club 2-2 at Parc OL. And as on the go it is still Maxwel Cornet who scored – a doubling this time – he who has been tenured twice this season, each time against the Citizens …
Lyon and Denayer will play a decisive match
This draw still allows City to spin in the round of 16, but not Lyon, who could believe, until the last seconds of the match Hoffenheim – Shakhtar Donetsk (2-3), and a Ukrainian goal that raises the suspense . Lyon will play a decisive match against Shakhtar Donetsk in Ukraine, where it will take a draw to secure the second place in Group F. A not necessarily obvious to negotiate …
Nice success in Rome for Real Madrid
In Group G, even before playing, AS Roma and Real Madrid were already qualified due to the defeat of CSKA Moscow against Plzen. This did not stop the Madrid, triple-holders of the title, to offer a nice success in Rome 2-0, thanks to goals from Gareth Bale and Lucas Vasquez. Good for morale as the Spanish club fell back into the league, with a dry 3-0 defeat to Eibar.
Juve and Man U got their ticket
In Group H, Juventus FC and Manchester United earned their home ticket by beating Valencia and the Young Boys of Bern on the same score of 1-0.
The last day will determine who finishes at the top of this group. If Juve did not shake, ManU however delivered a hard match against Bern relying on a goal of Marouane Fellaini at the end of the match.
