Who passes group at this point? Looking for teams to watch now that haven't qualified for knockouts.

Napoli is in.
Bayern.
Real Madrid.
Man City.

BUT... Bayern holds the key to Barcelona qualifying. Milan and Bar _both_ have to play bayern...
I call Barcelona not making knockouts... Need two wins, BUT Milan has to lose....
possible of course.

hopefully

Brugge would be a very fun away. Obviously Barca would too, but I would do Brugge and maybe EasyJet back to Paris. My Airbnb during UCL final was perfect. Would definitely go back

Bad miss by Aubameyang, straight at keeper.

 

[gary69]

Poor defending from Chelsea, as Thiago Silva unnecessarily burst beyond halway line and doesn't have the speed to block the ball/opponent making a pass. Of course he can't get back in time, so Cucurella is left all alone against two players as Chalobah went wide but couln't be of any use there. Jorgnho was nowhere to be seen, as usual.

It was to be expected with Chelsea only playing three defensive players.

Aubameyang with another missed opportunity.

 

[gary69]

Havertz finally shows up, nice touch and quick shot for his goal.

 

[Evilo]

Oh Messi!

 

[Jersey Fresh]

Lol Neymar is such a p***y.

 

[Evilo]

Mbappe

 

[Jersey Fresh]

Two beautiful finishes.

If Haifa was a better team they’d be able to get something out of PSG - they can’t defend well and even Haifa pressing them has been too much for them.

 

[Evilo]

Neymar

 

[gary69]

Big goal for Milan, as Gabbia heads Milan ahead from a Tonali freekick.

 

[Juve]

Allegri should be fired after this game. I'm emphasizing on the the "Should Be" part.

 

[Power Man]

Rodri left his football in Manchester

 

[Evilo]

OMG Messi

 

[Power Man]

Neymalpha crrying Mbippo and Missi, legend

 

[Evilo]

Messi is the only player in the top 5 leagues with at least 10 goals and 10 assists.
He has 11+11.

 

[Evilo]

Haifa has chosen a full court press which is not stupid especially when Verratti doesn't play. And they clearly put PSG on the back foot.
But the downside of this tactic is that they defend one on one against 3 of the top 4 offensive players in the world.
And the brutal talent made the difference.

City ain't that scary without de Bruyne. I'm always impressed with Hummels whenever I see him, I think the reports of his demise have been greatly exaggerated. Cancelo acting like City's quarterback so far, and doing it quite well, but he's on a yellow going against Adeyemi in that flank, I'm a bit worried for him.
