B Group

Real Madrid – Borussia M’gladbach 2: 0

Real Madrid threaten to be eliminated for the first time in their 25th appearance in a group stage of the Champions League. The possible sporting and economic debacle was avoided by the 13-time winner against Mönchengladbach (2-0) with a lot of routine, with the quality of midfielders Casemiro, Luka Modric and Toni Kroos, who controlled the game. But the deciding factor was Karim Benzema. The 32-year-old striker outpointed goalkeeper Yann Sommer with a header twice in the first 32 minutes.

The Spanish champions, who were criticized so many times this season, combined with remarkable ease in the opposing penalty area. Again and again it reached dangerous degrees. Real hit the edge of the goal three times. Borussia Mönchengladbach achieved little, even if the game was a bit more balanced after coach Marco Rose replaced striker Breel Embolo with midfielder Denis Zakaria at half-time.

The fact that there was no third goal was mainly due to Sommer’s left post and the Swiss goalkeeper himself, who brilliantly stopped a Sergio Ramos header. A déjà vu for Ramos: he missed a month ago with two penalties for Spain in the Swiss goal.

Inter 0-0 Shakhtar Donetsk

In Madrid not much happened in favor of Gladbacher, but more in Milan. Neither Inter nor Shakhtar Donetsk achieved the victory they needed to overcome the Germans, who were in the round of 16 for the first time. The Italians were closer to scoring but were too imprecise. A few minutes before the end, an Inter player, Romelu Lukaku, inadvertently made sure that Alexis Sánchez’s huge and promising header missed.

Like last year, Atalanta Bergamo qualified for the last 16 of the Champions League. The Lombards accompany Liverpool FC to the knockout round after their 1-0 win at Ajax Amsterdam in Group D.

Atalanta is currently fighting in the Italian championship, but in the Champions League, last season’s quarter-finals withstood the pressure in Amsterdam. First, the Italians defended the necessary draw before Luis Muriel made the decision in the 85th minute. The Colombian ideally launched himself before Remo Freuler’s goal.

Group H.

PSG – Basaksehir 5: 1

The match between Paris Saint-Germain and Istanbul Basaksehir, which was interrupted yesterday by a racist incident, ended today.

In sporting terms, there was almost nothing left between PSG and Basaksehir. However, the eye was specifically on this match early Wednesday morning, which the Parisians won 5-1 thanks to three goals from Neymar and two from Kylian Mbappé.

A day after the two teams left the field after a quarter of an hour in protest, they ran back to the Parc des Princes for the remaining 76 minutes. Before the restart, the players formed a circle in the middle of the field, put one knee on the ground and put a fist in the air to protest again against the racism that had caused the cancellation the day before.
