Dortmund 1-0 Villarreal: VAR intervention for a possible handball

Anton seems to touch the ball very lightly with his hand. But it is at the very beginning of the action, and obviously for the VAR, this implies that the hand is not penalized. The goal is validated, 1-0 for BVB.

Dortmund 1-0 Villarreal: GUIRASSY OPENS THE SCORE FOR BVB!

GUIRASSY STRIKES AGAIN! From a corner, the Dortmund scorer once again made the difference on a ball which sailed into the area without being cleared by the Villarreal defense. 1-0 for Dortmund, just before the break.

Chelsea 1-0 Barcelona: half-time, Barça is off to a bad start!

The Blues lead 1-0 and will play the entire second half with a numerical advantage. Quite a challenge for the Catalans.

Dortmund 0-0 Villarreal: Adeyemi’s rush!

He almost gave Dortmund a goal ball! But on his back pass, no teammate is able to take over and Villarreal clears.

City 0-1 Leverkusen: it’s the break!

1-0 for Leverkusen, a little against the run of play. It’s also half-time between Naples and Qarabag.

Chelsea 1-0 Barcelona: RED CARD FOR ARAUJO!

THE CAPTAIN LEAVES STAMFORD BRIDGE! It’s a second yellow for the Uruguayan, the referee did not hesitate. He arrived late in his intervention on Cucurella. Hard blow for Barça, who are already behind.

Naples 0-0 Qarabag: the Italians are doing better at the end of the half!

Noa Lang is brought down by a defender just now. But generally speaking, Napoli imposes its game and puts pressure on Qarabag.

Dortmund 0-0 Villarreal: the Spaniards attack on the counter

With Nicolas Pépé in particular, Villarreal operates with rapid attacks. For the moment Dortmund’s defense is holding up.

Chelsea 1-0 Barcelona: the Blues insist

Since the opening score, Enzo Maresca’s men have continued to push. Stamford Bridge is getting excited for this gala evening. Barca may need Raphinha or Rashford in the second half, both are currently on the bench.

City 0-1 Leverkusen: Guardiola’s men jostled

Leverkusen, after their goal, continues to put their game in place. It’s not an easy evening for Manchester City, especially without its executives on the bench.

Chelsea 1-0 Barcelona: The position of Cucurella seemed litigious.

But this time, we had no intervention from the VAR. The Spaniard, before crossing, seemed possibly offside, but obviously this is not the case.

Chelsea 1-0 Barcelona: THIS TIME THE BLUES OPEN THE SCORE!

AFTER TWO REFUSED GOALS, CHELSEA FINALLY ARRIVES THERE! Cucurella, served behind the defense, serves Neto who tries to finish with a madjer. The ball is blocked but Torres and Koundé get tangled up and the Frenchman scores against his side. 1-0 for Chelsea.

Bodo Glimt 1-0 Juventus: BLOMBERG MET BODO GLIMT DEVANT !

THE NORWEGIANS CRACK JUVENTUS! From a corner, the ball is deflected to the near post and it is Blomberg at the second who takes the opportunity to finish from close range. 1-0.

Chelsea 0-0 Barcelona: NETO ABOVE!

Another quick attack from the Blues, this time it’s Neto who is served, but his finishing leaves much to be desired. He tries to hit hard and it flies into the stands at Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea 0-0 Barcelona: another goal denied to the Blues!

This time for offside, on an indirect free kick. It was Enzo Fernandez who scored, once again, but Trevor Chalobah, who tried to deflect the ball earlier, was offside. Not sure if the Englishman really touched him, but he made a play.

City 0-1 Leverkusen: GRIMALDO OPENS THE SCORE AFTER A COUNTER!

It’s an unexpected opener! At the end of a nice collective movement, Grimaldo puts Leverkusen in front, after a nice delivery from a partner. 1-0 for the Germans, Manchester City is surprised.

Bodo Glimt 0-0 Juventus: Adzic’s recovery above!

The Montenegrin had been found at the far post, but his acrobatic recovery was complicated. It’s above.

Chelsea 0-0 Barcelona: Estevao launched deep

Joao Garcia reads the trajectory well and comes out far from his area to clear the ball.

City 0-0 Leverkusen: high recovery of the Cityzens!

But they fail to take advantage of it. Manchester City nevertheless dominates this start of the match, despite a heavily reshuffled team with most of the usual starters on the bench.

Dortmund 0-0 Villarreal: Buchanan scores… refused!

Partey’s shot is deflected and arrives at Buchanan, who only has to finish in the empty goal. But the Canadian was in an illegal position, a goal immediately refused.

Chelsea 0-0 Barcelona: Yamal’s center for Ferran Torres!

Barça has had the best chances of the match so far. Fermin remains on the ground but no foul according to the referee.

Slavia 0-0 Bilbao: first chance for Provod

The Slavia captain’s cross shot goes close to Unai Simon’s post, too bad.

Naples 0-0 Qarabag: good combination from Qarabag!

The doubling of passes achieves nothing, the Neapolitan defense does not get caught.

Bodo Glimt 0-0 Juventus: first foray for the Italians!

On a first shot from the right, the Norwegian goalkeeper puts in a corner. Juventus is still looking for its first victory of the season in the Champions League.

Marseille 0-1 Newcastle: THE MAGPIES ALREADY OPEN THE SCORE!

IT’S A BAD START FOR OM! After already saving Hojbjerg a few minutes ago, this time Newcastle made the difference. Tonali crosses, the defense fails to clear and the ball arrives at Barnes, who strikes with first intention and deceives Rulli. 1-0.

Chelsea 0-0 Barcelona: GOAL REFUSED FOR CHELSEA!

ENZO FERNANDEZ THOUGHT HE HAD OPENED THE SCORE! Before serving the Argentinian, Wesley Fofana took the ball with his hand, on a corner in favor of the Blues. The goal is immediately refused, we remain at 0-0.

Let’s go to Stamford Bridge!

The clash of the evening between Chelsea and FC Barcelona is underway, the kick-off is given by the Blues. We also start on the other evening grounds.

It’s time for the Champions League anthem

Both at the Vélodrome and on other grounds.

First victory for Benfica

The counter is unlocked for José Mourinho’s team, which wins 2-0 against Ajax. The Lisbon team signs its first victory in this European campaign, while the Dutch achieve a sad 0/5 and are in last place.

The big blow for the Union Saint-Gilloise

The Belgian team won 1-0 on the Galatasaray pitch and very temporarily placed itself back in the qualifying zone for the play-offs.

Benfica takes the break at the end of the match

José Mourinho’s men will secure their first victory of the season in the Champions League. At the end of a rapid attack, Barreiro doubled the lead with a powerful strike. Benfica leads 2-0 against Ajax, with only a few minutes to play.

Chelsea-Barça, a C1 classic

The last three times that the two teams met, it was in the elimination phase and this gave rise to two scenarios that have gone down in history: Iniesta’s saving goal and the “disgrace” denounced by Drogba in 2009, then the deliverance signed Fernando Torres, in added time, to offer a final to Chelsea in 2012. A few years later, in 2018, Barça also eliminated the Blues in the round of 16.
