In the maximum game of the second day of the UEFA Champions League group stage, FC Barcelona celebrated an away win against Juventus.
October 28, 2020
The Catalans won 2-0 with a deflected long-distance goal from Ousmane Dembélé in the 14th minute and a penalty from Lionel Messi in injury time. Barça was the best team both in the first half and in the second half. Above all, the offense around Messi and Antoine Griezmann was extremely happy to play Wednesday night and missed several good scoring opportunities.
But everything could have turned out very differently. Juve center forward Álvaro Morata was denied three goals by the video assistant referee (each for an offside position). At least 2 of these decisions were strict. By the way: Already on Sunday in the league game against Hellas Verona, the Spaniard from VAR put a wrench in the works.
Dortmund wins late
In Group F, Borussia Dortmund have for the moment allayed concerns about an early departure. In the first home game in the long history of the BVB European Cup against an extremely defensive Zenit St. Petersburg, Bundesliga 3 was successful. a tough 2-0 win.

Thanks to goals from Jadon Sancho (79./Foul penalty) and Erling Haaland (90. + 2), the Dortmunders were saved from another disappointment a week after the false start in Lazio. The Romans, on the other hand, were no more than 1: 1 in Bruges on Wednesday, but are still fully on target in Group F.
