That feels harsh on Benfica. Not only was there what looked like a push on Barreiro but there was another incident a couple of seconds before. Great game, though. They were in or just outside the top 8 at one point I think but now they've vanished down into the play-off places.

Also: Dortmund :nailbiting:. Last time I looked they were leading against Bologna but they've only gone and lost again.

Sahin probably gets sacked tomorrow and ETH may well be in charge for the last group game next week.

Might be an unpopular opinion but I think the new table format for CL and EL is more exciting than a lot of people expected it to be, particularly for the neutral.

I agree.

Look at Bayern, City and Madrid.

Normally walk their groups but due to the difficulty of it, they've lost a couple

It helps a lot that teams play two teams from every seeding bracket, regardless of which bracket they themselves are in. It's been more of a leveller than I expected that the top seeds have overall tougher fixtures than the fourth seeds.

Gotta laugh at Celtic, three disallowed goals and a penalty saved.
Guarantee that’ll finish 0-1 to Young Boys!

Ok Mendes wasn't half as offside as I thought he was, live. It's basically his kneecap.

Crazy that a draw hurts both teams, and a loss by either leaves them in a bit of trouble
I actually think a draw is not bad for both. Their next games are brugge and stuttgart. If they both win the last fixture they should both go into the playoffs.
