The PSG of Messi, Neymar and Mbappé can only be second in the group

BarcelonaThe penultimate day of the Champions League had as one of the highlights a City-PSG, and the game met, by far, the expectations. An exuberant duel that ended with the victory of the team led by Pep Guardiola (2-1) who, in addition, was guaranteed the first position in Group A. Despite the defeat, the Paris club was guaranteed the second position as Bruges fell thrashed against RB Leipzig (0-5).

The game was modeled on the first day, with the difference that this time City found the way to the goal. The first half, overwhelmingly dominated by Manchester, ended with goalkeeper Keylor Navas as the great hero. On the other hand, in the second half, despite local control, PSG had enough of a transition to get ahead on the scoreboard, thanks to a lucky action that started Messi and ended at the feet of Mbappé. But City did not give up, continued to attack and with two great collective actions came back, with the goals of Sterling and Gabriel Jesus.

It was also a good day for Real Madrid, who defeated the Sheriff at home and secured a place in the round of 16 (0-3). Thanks to the effectiveness of Alaba, Kroos and Benzema, Carlo Ancelotti’s team was thus compensated for the defeat they had suffered against the Transnistrian team at the Bernabeu. The whites, first in the group, will play the lead in the last day against Inter, also in Chamartín.

On the other hand, Atlético de Madrid did not take the opportunity to climb to the second position of group B. On the contrary, they lost against Milan (0-1) and now everything will be played on the last day, in the field of Porto. Those of Simeone, however, were lucky as the Portuguese team lost to Liverpool, leaving open the fight for second place.

Finally, Ajax, who have won every match in this Champions League, secured the top spot in Group C by defeating Besiktas at home. A group where everything was defined, as Sporting defeated Borussia Dortmund (3-1) and also secured second place, relegating the German team to the Europa League.
