It goes for Porto and Schalke, not for PSV – Champions League

Group A

Borussia Dortmund 0-0 Club Brugge

Thanks to the victory of Atletico Madrid on Monaco, Bruges officially validates its ticket for the Europa League. But on his lawn, Dortmund intends to win to win the first place to partners Antoine Griezmann. Except that the Germans play with the handbrake and come up against a strong Belgian block that disgusts from end to end, to finally leave with a well deserved point. Only downside: the exit on injury Axel Witsel at the end of the game. It was not all rosy for the Yellow Wall tonight.

Borussia Dortmund (4-2-3-1): Burki – Piszczek, Akanji, Diallo (Hakimi, 88^e), Zagadou – Witsel (Delaney, 90)^e), Dahud – Pulisic, Reus, Guerreiro (Sancho, 73)^e) – Alcacer. Coach: Lucien Favre.

Brugge FC (3-5-2): Horvath – Foal, Mechele, Denswil – Mata, Amrabat, Nakamba, Vormer (Decarli, 90 + 3), Dennis (Rits, 76^e) – Wesley (Openda, 90 + 2), Vanaken. Coach: Ivan Leko.

Group B

PSV Eindhoven 1-2 FC Barcelona

Goals: de Jong (83^e) the PSV // Messi (61^e), Pique (70^e) for Barça

There was an unlucky PSV (two poles) and an imprecise Barça in the first half. But in the end, it is the Catalans who win and are sure to finish at the top of their group, for the twentieth time in their history (yes, it's a record). On a one-two initiated with Ousmane Dembélé, Lionel Messi manages to get rid of a group of five defenders and misleads the poor Zoet who seemed to have the clogged view. The Dutch flicker and Gérard Piqué takes care of putting KO a few minutes later ahead of all the Batavian defense to resume a silky free kick signed Messi. The uncrossed head of the inevitable Luuk de Jong does not change anything: PSV is eliminated from the European Cup and will only have the championship to continue to dream its audience.

PSV Eindhoven 4-2-3-1): Zoet – Dumfries, Schwaab, Viergever, Angelino – Rosario, Hendrix (Gutierrez, 71)^e) – Lozano, Pereiro (Malen, 71)^e), Bergwijn (Romero, 79)^e) – de Jong. Coach: Marco van Bommel.

FC Barcelona (4-3-2-1): ter Stegen – Nelson Semedo, Pique, Lenglet, Jordi Alba – Busquets, Rakitic, Vidal – Dembele (Suarez, 80^e), Coutinho (Malcom, 70)^e) – Messi. Coach: Ernesto Valverde.

Group D

Lokomotiv Moscow 2-0 Galatasaray

Goals: Krychowiak (43^e), Ignatyev (54^e) for Loko

In order to stay in the race for the Europa League, you had to win. Loko did it. To hope to see the eighths, it was not necessary to lose. Galatasaray did not do it. Under polar temperatures (-5 ° C), in a match both slow and compact, Farfan finds the fault and Krychowiak who deceives Muslera half a volley from the left at the entrance to the surface. The ball bounces on Ryan Donk, but it's the Pole that the only goal of the first half is granted. What to warm hearts just before returning to the locker room. Frozen, the defense Istanbul remains nailed on the spot when Ignatyev takes a nice service Smolov by a breakthrough in the surface, concluded a flat foot that ends in the small net. Despite everything, Galatasaray was not unworthy to judge by the number of duels won (62%). Unfortunately, in the end, there is only the result that counts.

Lokomotiv Moscow (4-2-3-1): Guilherme – Ignatiev, Kvirkvelia, Corluka, Rybus – I. Denisov, Krychowiak – An. Miranchuk, Al Miranchuk (Barinov, 78^e), Farfan (Rotenberg, 90)^e) – Smolov (Eder, 88^e). Coach: Yuri Semin.

FC Porto 3-1 Schalke 04

Goals: Militão (52^e), Corona (55^e), Marega (90 + 4) Porto // Bentaleb (88)^e sp), for Schalke

Even before the start of the game, Porto and Schalke are guaranteed to spend the European winter thanks to the defeat of Galatasaray in Moscow. Did this have an influence on the minds of the twenty-two actors? Danilo and Marega create an opportunity each in the first 45 minutes. Nothing more to report. But after the break, the Portuguese break in three minutes with the head of Militão and the left foot of Corona. As if that were not enough, Felipe touches the crossbar at the hour of play and Marega offers a dive for the pleasure in the additional time. Schalke shows no signs of life with this penalty scored by Bentaleb at the end of the game. But at the end of the day, everyone will be happy: both teams will see the round of 16 next year.

FC Porto (4-1-2-3): Casillas – Maxi Pereira, Felipe, Eder Militão, Alex Telles – Danilo Pereira – Herrera (Hernani, 85^e), Oliver – Corona (Otavio, 79^e), Marega, Brahimi (Lopes, 73)^e). Coach: Sergio Conceicao.
