Champions League
Club Bruges took a point in Dortmund on Wednesday in the fifth round of the Champions League (0-0). The games are made in this group A: Atletico Madrid (12 points) and Borussia (10) are qualified for the round of 16 of the C1 while Club Brugge (5) is guaranteed to participate in the round of 16 of the Europa League. Beaten 2-0 earlier in the evening by Atletico Madrid, AS Monaco is eliminated (1 point). Kneeling at the knee, Axel Witsel came out in the 90th
As Dortmund did not give the impression of wanting to take the first place of the group at Atletico, the meeting did not start on a hot rhythm. Bruges took the opportunity to circulate the ball. But the Belgian champion has done well twice. First when Marco Reus isolated Christian Pulisic, who shot in the fists of Ethan Horvath (10th). Then, when his goalkeeper missed his exit on an attempt by Raphael Guerreiro (17th). Offensively, the Blauw & Zwart were few in spite of a shot by Sofyan Amrabat (23rd). Defensively, they still had chills when Reus spun alone towards the goal and shot just wide (32 '). From that moment, the game was mainly concentrated in the center of the field and the overall level dropped further.
Invisible in the first period, Pablo Alcacer directly put Horvath to contribution (46th). If the American goalkeeper was attentive, Benoît Poulain (48th) and Stefano Denswil (53rd) were too. When he started against the Club still could not keep the ball in the ranks beyond the median line and Wesley was well alone ahead. These numerous ball losses facilitated the task of Witsel and his teammates, who multiplied side pbades.
AS Monaco lost 2-0 to Atletico Madrid on Wednesday in the fifth round of Group A of the Champions League
The Rocher team still had a slim hope of finishing third but that will not be the case. Club Brugge, which has taken 4 points in direct confrontations against Monaco, will play at least the knockout stage of the Europa League.
Yuri Tielemans and Nacer Chadli were titular at the Principalities.
Thierry Henry opted for a defense at 5 with Chadli left side and a median line at 3 with Tielemans in the axis. The Monegasque coach has also launched several young people: Giulian Biancone, Noah Mbadengo and Benoît Badiashile. The latter will remember his first tenure in C1: he scored against his side by deflecting a shot wound Koke (2nd, 1-0). This early goal did not defeat the Monegasques but a resumption of the outside of the left foot of Antoine Griezmann nailed them (24th, 2-0). The Frenchman is obviously at home at Wanda Metropolitano, having scored 11 goals in his last 11 home games in the Champions League.
Monaco, who only had a shot not framed in the first period (Badiashile 45th), tried more often his chance at the recovery without worrying Jan Oblak. Tielemans was even warned for having retained Angel Correa (54th) and Chadli left his place to Sofiane Diop (63rd). The score did not change while Monaco received a penalty for a hand foul by Stefan Savic on a Tielemans shot. While the Atletico Montenegrin defender left the field (82nd, 2 yellow cards), Radamel falcao missed his shot of eleven meters (83).
