Neymar's "Rainbow-Flick" vs. Shaqiri – and 7 other highlights of the CL evening

Messi's failed assistance
Of course, Messi had his feet in the match in the 2-0. His free kick on Gerard Piqué looked like a repeat version, but according to Messi, it was not like that: "The shot was bad, fortunately, Piqué was there and the ball landed in the goals," said the Barca superstar.

The tackle of Reus
Striker and back – always a tricky thing. This is not the case for Marco Reus: in the draw 0-0 against Brugge BVB, superstar continued in a counterattack, the Belgian Hans Vanaken in his half of the field, away from the ball with a tackle class World. Lucien Favre will have had a great time on the bench.

"Rainbow Flick" by Neymar against Shaqiri
Neymar was the most visible figure in Paris St-Germain's 2-1 win against Liverpool. Not only because of his role, the Brazilian has not only scored his 31st goal in the Champions League, the record holder of his country, but it was also unstoppable.
Except for substitute Xherdan Shaqiri: The Swiss player Nati was overplayed by Neymar although "Rainbow-Flick", but then won the duel for the ball. And what does the PSG superstar do? Of course, he complains of a fault.

Neymar's missed pass
As in stoppage time, it was not perfect for Neymar in the 64th minute. His teammate Thiago Silva wanted to throw him with a defense pass on the left wing, but the Brazilian was simply indisposed. Instead of focusing on the game, he called on Paris fans to give themselves a little more mood.

The perfect counter
In Neymar's 1-0, the strength of Paris St-Germain was exemplary. Liverpoool Firmino lost the ball in PSG's penalty area in an instant, with a double pass between Neymar and Kylian Mbappé, who picked up speed and placed the ball in the area in front of Edinson Cavani. Neymar exploited the rebound – 12 seconds after the victory of the ball, the ball skewed in the goal. You can not play that better.

The tactical gimmick of Tuchel
PSG coach Thomas Tuchel has pondered how Liverpool can be deprived of its strengths – by letting the "Reds" squeeze. Prior to Bernat's 1-0 draw, Neymar skilfully pulled out to open the blocks behind the Liverpool midfielder. When there was enough room, the English were again surprised by the rhythm of the Parisians.

Ovation standing for Falcao
An ovation in a foreign stadium is something special. Cristiano Ronaldo knows it, but Radamel Falcao too. The Colombian striker from AS Monaco entered the 55th minute to 0-2 at Atletico Madrid and was celebrated with frenzy by his supporters at Wanda Metropolitano. The fans have apparently not forgotten his 70 goals, scored for "Atléti" between 2011 and 2013. Maybe Falcao missed a penalty because of the friendly bow in the 83rd minute.
