Schick’s shot was not valid and Leverkusen got loaded. Barcelona drew with Inter

Napoli and Bruges joined Manchester City and Real Madrid in the knockout phase. Bayern Munich is also in the playoffs, having won 4:2 in Pilsen.

Barcelona needed to avenge last week’s defeat to Inter and dominated the first half thanks to Dembélé’s goal, but Barella and Martínez turned the score around after switching sides. In the 82nd minute, Lewandowski equalized, whose shot was answered by Gosens in the 89th minute. Lewandowski once again closed the exciting game with a goal in the set-up, who is at the top of the scorers’ table together with Haaland from Manchester City and Salah with five hits.

In the hectic end, Inter coach Inzaghi received a red card, who will probably miss his team in the next match against Pilsen. However, the “Nerazzurri” defended the point and maintained a three-point lead and a better match against Barcelona. They can confirm their progress behind the sovereign Bayern with a win in the next round against West Bohemia.

Napoli followed up on a great 6-1 victory from Amsterdam and maintained a 100% record. Already in the fourth minute, Lozano finished off a handsome combination with his head, and after a quarter of an hour, Raspadori added the fourth goal in the competition. The 22-year-old striker became the third Italian to score in his opening three Champions League starts.

After the break, Klaassen lowered his header, but in the 62nd minute, Kvaracchelija restored the home team’s two-goal advantage. In the end, Bergwijn reduced the score from a penalty kick, but the substitute Osimhen closed the score after a big mistake by captain Blind. With 17 goals, Napoli has the absolute best offensive in the competition. Ajax have conceded 12 times in their last three competitive matches, the last time this happened 58 years ago.

Ajax loses six points to the second Liverpool, who turned the duel on the field of Rangers. In the great victory, striker Firmino was the main figure for a long time with two goals and an assist. Six minutes and 12 seconds separated the Egyptian gunner’s first hit from the 76th minute and the last one.

Bruges finished the match against Atlético without the suspended Sowah and lost points for the first time, but still did not concede and secured promotion ahead of schedule. The Group B outsider became the second Belgian team to reach the round of 16.

Porto moved to second place in the group, whose match with Leverkusen had a partially similar course to the mutual clash a week ago in Portugal. Midfielder Galeno scored again and Bayer again failed to convert a penalty kick in the first half. This time, Schick left the ball to Demirbay, who, like the Czech striker, was intercepted by goalkeeper Costa. The Portuguese international has saved six of the nine penalties he has faced over the past two years.

On the other hand, Taremi succeeded twice from the penalty spot, and Leverkusen failed for the first time in the second match under coach Xabi Alonso. Bayer is last in Group B, three points behind Porto.

Tottenham moved to the top of Group D with a 3-2 win over Frankfurt. Son Hung-min scored twice. One point behind the “Roosters” are Marseille and Sporting Lisbon, who today lost to the French vice-champions 0:2.
