R. Lewand⚽⚽⚽⚽wski is on fire

It looks like it will be a goalscoring party for Bayer vs Dynamo and it is true that R. Lewandowski looks excited and has scored 2 goals and 1 penalty in the first half still going on and Bayer are ahead statistically.

Barcelona trailed 0-1 against Benfica in the first half, whether barcelona will win in the second half or the score becomes a draw.

I was watching this match and Juventus looked very depressed from Chelsea's attack despite the fact that the Juventus 2 striker had to be absent and this is indeed a difficult situation if you lose even you have to surrender, it seems Juventus are still trying to convince their players.

Even if he loses to Chelsea, Juventus doesn't need to worry because I'm sure he will definitely qualify with Chelsea for the next round considering that in the group nothing is too difficult except for these two big teams, Juve - Chelsea.

Btw I didn't see Kante on the bench is he injured?

We are approaching for end of first half and Juventus is doing very reasonable job without few key players start was very nervous, but now they are improving now after watching first half I am feeling they can win or draw because they are playing at home, and now they are doing much better than most of the peoples was expecting from them in second half surely Kean is coming which will give them some better attacking opportunities and other players also feel some better with the arrival of striker who is doing good mostly after his entry.
Kante is ill, just because of this he is not trailing with his team.

The first half of the Manchester United - Villarreal game has ended by 0-0. We watched a very balanced half between these teams. Even though Manchester United are playing home they give so many chances to their opponent. And this might not be very good for them in the second half. Manchester United should take the full control of the game in the second half if they want to get a comfortable win. Otherwise, it seems like Villarreal can score first. And then, it would be too hard for Manchester United to win as Villarreal's defense is very strong.

Koeman just be sacked, that is all I'm asking for freaking real, he's just making a mess of this team... He's really blank headed as a coach, and gerard pique should as just join the coaching or technical staff and stop humiliating the club at every opportunity.

It's a quite night all round other fixtures, except for Bayern which is already known to not be too short of a walk in the park.

Sadly, kante tested positive to COVID-19. Chelsea are not playing at their best and this could cause them the game. They have the possession but not using it to do anything. They have not even threaten the Juventus goal keeper and the defenses of Chelsea keep making mistakes that Juventus are yet to capitalized on.

Having Ziyech and Kai on the attacking part of the pitch is not helping , they are both slow and always want to keep possession, they need someone to free Lukaku from Juventus defenders he's been overshadowed through out the 45mins, Tuchel needs to bring in Timo to make runs trust me.

What a start of second half for Juventus, they have done first goals within few seconds and now leading match against Chelsea.

I am also feeling same about Koeman he is going to lose his job within few days because Barcelona president is already lost his patience with his strategy, and they can't afford him any more if they want to stay in for some better at the end of this season if he is going to stay here then surely this season could be disaster for them and their fans. Today's result is very important for Koeman future if his team able to do 2 goals and win this game then maybe he survives for some time otherwise he is going to be sacked in next few days.

That was a poor performance from Real Madrid. They lacked the defensive structure and also were not able to find the final pass into the opponent's third of the park. The only goal also came from a penalty from Benzema. I think Carlo Anchelloti made a big mistake by making Fede and Camavinga play in the wingback position at the later parts of the game. They already don't have a good defense without Ramos and Varane and using these two as wingback is not a good idea.

This is so bad, they should have won. They shouldn't be like that, that's a fatal mistake. Is that the only factor?
Looking at the statistics Madrid controlled the game, but they were not effective. Three kicks towards goal 2 became goals. Madrid had more shots on goal but only one goal. The Sheriff is the debut team to collect 6 points at this time. Their chances of qualifying will be even greater. In addition, the price of their players is also not more than Lionel Messi's salary.

Juventus - Chelsea game is going on right now. Juventus have no real strikers in their attacking line. Bernardeschi and Chiesa are playing as forwards as Morata and Dybala both are still injured. Chelsea have been dominating the game so far and they have the game under control. But this is not enough for them of course. They should be able to score a goal as soon as possible and get ahead. Considering the current performances, Chelsea definitely deserve to win.

in terms of games and statistics now chelsea is far ahead.
Juventus were forced to continue to survive without being able to develop their game. but one small mistake chelsea in the early minutes of this second half changed the score to 1-0 for juventus.
with this it is certain that juventus will continue to hold on because they are now in the lead and only have to hold on for at least 30 minutes from now.
although it seems monotonous because they continue to defend, this is a profitable strategy and allows them to win the match.

[KingsDen]

Can Benfica be the Sheriff of tonight?
The journey is deep into the 2nd half and Barcelona is still one goal down. When you look at the statistics, you will discover that Barcelona is better in all the statistics except on Shots on goal and Counter Attack. This is a clear indication that Benfica is more goal minded than Barcelona.
Gone are the days that Manchester United will be one goal down and remain confident of winning the match. Under the current form of Ole, Manchester United best result tonight is draw.

[Marykeller]

Juventus is a team that's not doing quite well in their domestic league. Although I haven't seen their game since the beginning of the season, their position on the Serie A table is an arrow to my concession. Nevertheless, this is the Champions League, where Boys are segregated from Men.
It's quite unfortunate that Juventus will win Chelsea at the end. Interesting football results tonight

After some quite first half we have action packed second half, in very early minutes Juventus and Wolfsburg in lead Manchester United done score for level of game against Vilareal. Most chances we will have some good number of goals in next half hour because few teams fighting hard for better result which is very important for them if they want to be stayed in this Champions League for qualification of next round. Barcelona Sevilla and Manchester United all are doing their best, let's watch what happen in next half hour, and we will watch very entertaining matches.

Manchester United are going to play against Villarreal today. These two teams were seen in the Europa League final in the last season and Villarreal were the victorious side. This can be seen as a revenge match for Manchester United. They should be really eager to make their fans forget about the Aston Villa loss. I'm expecting Ronaldo to score also and they should absolutely be the winning team at the end.

Even though manchester united came to the second match of the champions league today with a capital loss from aston villa in the league, but in my opinion, today match could be a place of revenge for manchester united and could be the beginning of their revival from successive defeats in the english domestic league , so far manchester united has not won a single point in the champions league and of course they will be motivated to be able to get their first point in the second match today.

Villarreal scored first in the second half. After seeing that I started having doubts about Manchester United to make a comeback. But they still managed to answer them in only 7 minutes and that was really crucial for them to find the equalizer quickly. Otherwise, they would have a big difficulty in the last minutes as Villarreal are a really strong team in those minutes. Their defensive game is very good. There are still at least 20 minutes and Manchester United can win this match.

Looks Like They Will Be Sheriff , It's almost entered the 70th minute and the score is still the same Benfica 1 - 0 Barcelona. My prediction is that Benfica will no longer be able to score goals while on the side of Barcelona there is still hope for them to at least make a draw.

EDIT: Rafa Silva Scored a Goal, Benfica 2 - 0 Barcelona

Gone are the days that Manchester United will be one goal down and remain confident of winning the match. Under the current form of Ole, Manchester United best result tonight is draw.

There are still 20 minutes left, if you look at the game statistics, most likely 3 points will be on the side of Manchester United, we'll see

[notblox1]

I think that Barcelona is falling apart after Messi left them, they are losing from Benfica with two goals and I didn't see any direct shots on goal.
Good night for German and Italian teams, Atalanta won against Young Boys and Juventus is leading against Chelsea, something I didn't expect to see.

[tomahawk9]

who's laughing now, barca fans? Oi! i saw you enjoying our 1-2 loss against Sheriff yesterday, but at least we don't have 0 points and -6 goal difference in the group,  lmaoo

[Kusman]

Barcelona are very close to getting another disappointing result against Benfica. They are being beaten by Benfica by 3-0 as they were beaten by Bayern with the same result also. Actually, Barcelona got a good result in the La Liga the last time and they made a big effort. It was promising considering this match but they couldn't fight back well against Benfica.

Barcelona now loosing 3:0 and just got red carded, watching multicast so I sow just the goals but it does not look good for Spanish giant. Breaking apart much faster than expected. I know they are broke but Koeman must go immediately, players are not following his ideas and this is getting embarrassing. Yes, they lost Messi and few more players but they should still be better than this.

Chelsea looked invincible and now they will have two loses in a row. It is no shame to lose against City and Juve but Chelsea was really quiet in attack and that is a bit worrisome for team that means to challenge for all titles.

[lixer]

We are making a huge deal out of Madrid losing one game. This doesn't make them terrible just because they lost to a team that wasn't expected. I get that Sheriff played decently and got just 2 decent shots which were both goals and I respect the way they came all this way, hell if they win another game then I am 100% sure they could go to next stage as well, for a team (and any team from that nation) that never made it to champions league groups, now they have a huge chance to go to next stage.

This means they are going to probably make more money than their whole cost from just 2-3 games, and they would become a lot better team in their league with the amount of money they have unless there is some finance situation we do not know about like big debt or something. However none of this makes Real a bad team, they are still a great team, just had a bad game.

[LTU_btc]

Another terrible night for Barcelona. Maybe 3:0 result don't reflect game perfectly. Barca played better in 1st half, but in 2nd haf we were completely outplayed by Benfica. I think now we have emotionally prepare to play in Europa League...
MU - Villarreal. Ronaldo saves MU asses again by scoring on additional time.
Bayern 5:0 Dynamo. Well, did anyone expected something different.
Juventus 1:0 Chelsea. Quite an surprise for me. Didn't watched game, but from stats Chelsea looks better.

who's laughing now, barca fans? Oi! i saw you enjoying our 1-2 loss against Sheriff yesterday, but at least we don't have 0 points and -6 goal difference in the group,  lmaoo

Yeah, it's shameful, but I think it's less shameful than lose against no name team from not existing country at home.

So we'll see how ronaldo will score another UCL goal? I expect that to happen.

I'm sure he will because Villarreal is not a foreign team to Ronaldo and I think he is quite used to and understands Villarreal's game well during his time at Real Madrid.

Sure enough Ronaldo was the savior for Manchester United in the last minute and this is the decisive goal where Manchester can take revenge with this victory, it's amazing for CR7.
Juventus managed to bring their points and were able to defend until the end of time.

Benfica humiliated Barcelona who are now like a weak team, Ronald Koemen is not a good coach.
