Newcastle are the losers of the night.
The matches of matchday 5 of the group stage of the Champions League were played. The results surprised some and some became quite natural. The most notable events of the game day are in our summary.
PSG made an embarrassing save in the match against Newcastle
The French champion had problems again in the match against Eddie Howe’s team. This time we did not lose, or rather, we almost lost it, if it were not for an accident. Already in added time, the ball, after touching Ousmane Dembélé, hit Tino Livramento’s body, and from there hit his elbow. Everything happened in the area, so the referee, after watching the video replay, decided to call a penalty, which Kylian Mbappé scored. Taking into account the class difference and a million untapped opportunities, this result for PSG can be considered shameful.

Milan failed the match against Borussia. Now not even the LE playoffs are guaranteed
Thanks to this, Borussia, after defeating Milan (3-1), guaranteed access to the Champions League playoffs, in the group of death! Stefano Pioli’s team did not create big problems for its rival from Dortmund: the Italians did not have enough active resistance during the 90 minutes. But at the beginning of the match they had not yet scored a penalty. Now the clubs from Italy and England will decide the fate of at least third place and, at most, second place in the final round. But for the latter it is necessary for Borussia to give everything with PSG for the good of the first line.
As was
Milan surrendered against Dortmund. Borussia was the first to leave the strongest group in the Champions League!
City burned Leipzig 0-2. And then Holland and Foden came out and decided
Pep Guardiola is being bold: he leaves the leaders in the reserve, lets the reserves play and gives hope to the rival. Lua Openda even took advantage of it: he scored a double in the first half and brought the sensation closer. But after the break, Erling Haaland and Phil Foden came out and showed their class: the Norwegian scored the first goal and the Briton scored the 1+2, participating in all of his team’s goals. Now no one will catch up to Manchester City. It’s true, and the Germans too.

Atlético left Feyenoord without the Champions League
Diego Simeone’s team is doing very well this season: they play very well, score a lot and, in general, look nothing like themselves. Now they arrived ahead of schedule in the Champions League playoffs and left Feyenoord without this celebration, having faced them on the road. A magnificently executed goal by Mario Hermoso: the ball, after his shot (or a pass to a teammate?) went through the back of Justino Beilo’s neck following an incredible trajectory. Beautiful! However, the fate of first place in the group is still undecided: Lazio and Atlético will go head to head in the final round.

“Barcelona” separated from “Porto” at a safe distance
The Catalans still defeated Porto 2:1. It must be admitted that it was not easy and was only possible after João Felix’s goal in the second half. Until the last moment, Sergio Conceicao’s team could achieve a tie, but something was always missing. And now you will have to pay for it: in the sixth round you will face Shakhtar and decide the fate of second place in the group.
