Champions League

The PSG has ideally relaunched in the race to the 8th finals of the Champions League by defeating Liverpool 2 to 1, in a capital match of group C, called "of death".

Group B: Barça and Tottenham win

A goal by Christian Eriksen late in the game against Inter Milan (1-0) kept Tottenham alive in the Champions League on Wednesday at Wembley, with both sides now competing for the round of 16, behind the Barça, in the last match.

Tottenham is not cursed: as a disaster scenario began to extinguish a stadium Wembley disillusioned before the countless misses of the Spurs, the Dane, just entered the game, concluded a superb ball rise initiated by Moussa Sissoko and prolonged by Dele Alli (80th).

The Spurs, doomed to win to keep a chance to see the eighth, seemed yet to move to a stinging disappointment, similar to that received in March against Juventus Turin in 8th of the previous edition, when they held their qualification before crumbling 30 minutes before the end of the second leg (2-1).

Also similar to the first leg of September 18 in San Siro dominators and leading to the score, the men of Mauricio Pochettino conceded defeat (2-1) in the last five minutes.

On Wednesday, Tottenham still dominated, outrageously. And wasted even more: shots of Harry Kane hijacked by Samir Handanovic (7th) and countered (43rd), Dele Alli strikes next (10th and 68th), Erik Lamela still next (19th), Handanovic parries in front of Lucas Moura (30th, 43rd), shot counter to Moussa Sissoko (32nd), crossbar on a shot by Harry Winks (38th), Jan Vertonghen's header (70th) …

The list of missed opportunities was frightening until the end-of-match collective flash of light that completely disrupted Inter.

In this group B ultra raised, it will necessarily disappoint. Behind a Barca untouchable, and far ahead of a PSV logically inferior, the fight for the 2nd place will be played between Italians and English, which both count seven points, on the last day.

The Milanese will welcome the PSV, already eliminated. The Londoners will challenge them Barça, already badured to finish first after his victory in Eindhoven (2-1). In case of identical result, Spurs advantage to the particular difference thanks to the goal scored in Milan.

Group C: PSG, now second in the group behind Napoli, will play in Belgrade

Against the Reds, finalists last season, Juan Bernat opened the scoring (13th) and Neymar added to the bill (37th). Then, just before the break, James Milner reduced the penalty on penalty after Angel Di Maria's foul on Sadio Mané (45th + 1).

Naples triumphed 3-1 on Tuesday against Etoile Rouge Belgrade and maintained the Group C title in the Champions League ahead of Paris SG and Liverpool, but Carlo Ancelotti's team can still lose everything during of the last day.

"At this point, if we do not pbad, we are really idiots," warned Monday the Italian technician in a press conference.

His team took another step towards the round of 16, beating the Red Star as expected and it has its destiny in hand. But the goal conceded Tuesday while she led quietly 3-0 could be important.

If PSG wins against the Red Star, the second ticket will be played at Anfield Road, where Liverpool and Naples will play a kind of final.

In case of draw or success, Naples would pbad. But if Liverpool wins 1-0 or more goals away, Naples slip into third place and leave the PSG and the Reds to reach the 8th finals.

Meanwhile, the Neapolitans have unsurprisingly dominated the Red Star, which in turn is no longer in the race for qualification.

It was captain Hamsik who opened the scoring in the 11th minute by taking a left from Maksimovic on the corner.

The following two goals were scored by Mertens, first of a good recovery from outside the right in the surface (33), then a nice shot in the skylight (52). With this double, the attacker of the Devils reached the bar of the 100 goals under the jersey of Napoli. The Red Devil also becomes the first Belgian player to score ten goals in the Champions League.

But five minutes later, Etoile Rouge reduced the mark by Ben Nabouhane (3-1, 57th) after a superb badist from Marin on one of the very few Serbian actions of the match.

Anecdotal in the history of this match, this goal weakens yet the difference in goals of the Neapolitans when concluding the group stage.

Group D: Porto and Schalke ensure their qualifying

It was a hot duel at the top of the group D, but the meeting between Porto and Schalke 04 (3-1) did not have the flavor expected. Blame the 22 actors? No, rather to Galatasaray who, by bowing earlier on the lawn of Lokomotiv Moscow (2-0), delivered to the Portuguese and German clubs qualifying on a plateau.

The Turks will have to defend their third place, qualifying for the Europa League, on December 11 at home against Porto.
