Juve dries Valencia, Fellaini propels Manchester into the eighth – Champions League

Group H

Juventus 1-0 Valencia CF

Goals: Mandzukic (59^e) for Juventus

The tifosi have come to see a great show, but Mario Mandžukić offers them rather cheap cinema, making his sweet tooth after contact with Diakhaby in the surface. Pjanić is also doing a bit of commedia dell'arte in the truth zone a few minutes later, but the referee still does not flinch. Bad actress, the Old Lady dominates nevertheless its subject, without obtaining probative opportunities. At least, until Ronaldo makes Gabriel Paulista his thing to serve Mandžukić, who zigzets Neto at close range. The Juventini then monopolize the swells, Valencia pedal in the void and everything is well that ends well for the men of Allegri, solid first group H.

Juventus (4-3-1-2): Szczesny – Cancelo, Bonucci, Chiellini, Sandro – Bentancur, Pjanic, Matuidi – Dybala – Mandžukić, Ronaldo. Coach: Mbadimiliano Allegri.

Manchester United 1-0 Young Boys Bern

Goals: Fellaini (90^e+1) for Manchester

To tap on smaller than it is still really ugly but Jose Mourinho has never claimed to be a chic guy. The Red Devils In the first half, they are content to send several small cleats behind the neck of the Swiss, without finding the fault, while Rashford has decided to harvest like a squire against the opposing cage. A scenario that repeats itself after the break: the attacker seems decidedly victim of serious neuronal disconnections as soon as he sees the purpose of Ballmoos. Worrying for the Mancunians? No, because Marouane Fellaini comes to 91^e minute to dry the foals of Gerardo Seoane, a hitting ground. Huge relief for boys Mou, who snatch the buzzer their ticket for the eighth of the C1.

Manchester United (4-3-3): De Gea – Valencia, Smalling, Jones, Shaw – Matic, Fellaini, Fred – Lingard, Rashford, Martial. Coach: José Mourinho.

Young Boys (4-3-3): Ballmoos – Mbabu, Camara, von Bergen, Benito – Lauper, Sow, Aebischer – Sulejmani, Assale, Nsame. Coach: Gerardo Seoane.

Group E

Bayern Munich 5-1 Benfica

Goals: Robben (13^e, 30^e), Lewandowski (36)^e, 51^e), Ribery (77^e) for Bayern // Fernandes (46^e) for Benfica
Thirteen minutes. That's how long it takes for Arjen Robben's big orange melon to stand out. The winger Batavian, not bored with innovation, is his special stroke, his shot wound left, after victimizing three opponents. A skylight that calls another: half an hour of play, the Dutch put it back, still left, still in the lulu. Benfica is tuning in the Bavarian pot and Lewandowski also wants to go for his little ingredient: namely a head on corner, which triples the bet. Fifteen minutes later, the Pole presses the button rewind and place a new shot after a corner kick. Ribery has therefore only to wipe the plate. The reduction of Fernandes' score will not change anything: Bayern are already guaranteed to see the eighths of the C1, while Benfica, second behind Ajax, second in group E, will be content to be donated to Europa League .

Bayern Munich (4-3-3): Neuer – Alaba, Sule, Boateng, Rafinha – Kimmich, Goretzka, Muller – Ribery, Lewandowski, Robben. Coach: Niko Kovač.

Benfica (4-3-3): Vlachodimos – Grimaldo, Conti, Dias, Almeida – Fejsa, Pires, Pizzi – Cervi, Jonah, Silva. Coach: Rui Vitória.
