Juventus, driven by Cristiano Ronaldo, scored a clear victory against Barcelona and thus secured the group victory. However, the night of the Champions League was overshadowed by a scandal in Paris.
December 08, 2020
In the duel between multiple world footballers Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi, Juventus managed to win the group. On Tuesday night, the Turin team beat Messi’s Barça 3-0 on the last day of the preliminary round. For the Catalans’ first home loss in the premier class in seven years, superstar Ronaldo provided a penalty double (13th / foul and 52 / hand) and Weston McKennie (20th) with a remarkable volley. It was by far the best performance of the season from the Italian series champions. Juve and Barcelona finished the group with 15 points each: the best direct comparison speaks for the old woman.
ManUnited fails in Leipzig
RB Leipzig secured a ticket to the round of 16 in the “final” against Manchester United. The German Bundesliga team celebrated a 3-2 home win and left the English in the table by three points.

The group’s victory was still uncertain, as Paris St. Germain’s parallel match against Istanbul Basaksehir was canceled following a flagrant incident of racism by the fourth official (Sport News informed).
PSG game postponed after scandal
According to early media reports, the game will now be played on Wednesday. The duel no longer has any effect on promotion, as in the event of a PSG defeat if there is a draw with ManUnited, the best direct comparison for the Frenchman would be decisive.
In Group F, a 2-2 draw against Club Brugge was enough for Lazio to secure the second promotion card alongside group champion Borussia Dortmund. In the Germans’ 2-1 victory at Zenit St. Petersburg, Youssoufa Moukoko became the youngest player in CL history from the 58th minute at the age of 16 years and 18 days. The young man replaced Celestine Babayaro, who played in the Anderlecht suit in Bucharest in 1994 at the age of 16 years and 87 days.
