MU beaten, Barça strangled by Bayern

United’s regrets

Terrible disillusionment for Manchester United. Beaten 2 – 1 by Bern, the Red Devils had yet ideally started, establishing their return hero Cristiano Ronaldo who took the opportunity to score after thirteen minutes of play on the day he equaled the record for appearance in the Champions League.

But the dream quickly ended when Wan Bissaka was kicked out. Late, the Mancunian defender intervened with a sole on the ankle of Pereira (35th).

Bern was then logically rewarded for its domination. Ngamaleu first equalized on a recovery (66th) before Siebatcheu snatched the victory in added time (90th + 5).

The Young Boys had something to celebrate at the end of the match, as they provoked their victory to celebrate their return to C1.

Salzburg may have regrets

On the side of Seville and Salzburg, the two teams parted back to back Tuesday (1-1) in a game where four penalties were whistled in the first 45 minutes. Except that Salzburg missed two and can have regrets.

The Spaniards at first overwhelmed managed to control the Austrians by returning to the score by Rakitic (42nd) who responded on a penalty to Sucic (21st).

Favorites but reduced to ten and nervous, Sevilla FC players were struggling throughout the second act against the young Austrian team with dazzling forays.

Bayern crushes Barça again

A year after the terrible 8-2 inflicted on the Catalans in the quarter-finals of the last edition, Bayern Munich reaffirmed their superiority over FC Barcelona by beating them 3-0 on Tuesday at Camp Nou.

The Catalans have suffered from his absence and a gulf separates them from the German giant, who won based on his unbeatable admirals Thomas Müller (34th) and Robert Lewandowski (56th, 85th).

The “Rekordmeister” asserted his superiority from the start of the match, repeatedly alerting Marc-André ter Stegen. Opposite, Memphis Depay, who arrived this summer, was the only one to try to make calls, sterile, and Luuk de Jong, who arrived a fortnight ago, seemed lost.

A defeat which obviously did not have more to the supporters since strong whistles even came down from the stands of the Camp Nou when the referee whistled the half-time.

Chelsea start with a victory

The reigning European champion dominated Zenit Saint-Petersburg 1-0 on Tuesday. The Blues beat the Russian champion thanks to a header from Belgian striker Romelu Lukaku, well served by his Spanish captain Cesar Azpilicueta.

The Londoners had stumbled for more than an hour when, on a perfect cross from Cesar Azpilicueta, the Belgian took advantage of his 1.91 m to regain the ball with his head and place a measured deflection along the post of Stanislav Kritsyuk (1 -0, 69e).

The Blues tried to double the bet but without success. In the end, the 1-0 victory is quite logical and will recall the fetish scores of last season, including in the final against Manchester City.

These three points are all the more important as the next day will take the Blues to Turin to challenge Juventus.

Juventus I know relaunch

Badly in the league, Juventus won with authority against Malmö (3-0). The South American internationals set the pace: center of Colombian Juan Cuadrado for the diving header of Brazilian Alex Sandro for 1-0 (23rd) then penalty of Argentine Paulo Dybala for 2-0 (45th).

The Spaniard Alvaro Morata, at the origin of this penalty after being hooked in the area, put the Bianconeri in the wake of a pass from Adrien Rabiot (45 + 1e), sealing the score at the pause.

Malmö had no other weapons to oppose than his physical engagement. But Juve, a little rushed at the start of the match, was able to respond.

Benfica and Villarreal kept in check

The Portuguese Benfica came close to disaster Tuesday among the Ukrainians of Dynamo Kiev (0-0), conceding a goal in added time … before it was invalidated for offside after resorting to video assistance.

In Group F, the Spaniards of Villarreal, were held to a 2-2 draw at home by the Italians of Atalanta Bergamo.
