The first Uefa Champions League victory in the new Stadium for the Spurs and it comes in style also thanks to Lloris who saved a penalty kick -given by the VAR- to the super bomber El Kun Sergio Aguero! Harry Kane left the pitch for an injury after missing a good chance saved by Ederson. Match winner the korean sensation Son Heung-Min. There were some protests about his goal because the ball he was controlling almost looked like it went out of the pitch but it was actually partly on the line so we guess the goal was pretty fine. We still believe that Manchester City and Guardiola will overcome Spurs in the second leg but definitely Pochettino put some huge pressure on his colleague PeP!
LIVERPOOL-PORTO=2-0 Naby Keita 5',Roberto Firmino 26'.
A very important two goals advantage for Klopp and his guys and it was all conquered in the first half! Salah also had a huge chance but he missed it for just a bit. The Conceicao's team did put themselves in front of Alisson but never giving any great danger to the Reds. We are very confident that this match is done and dusted!
AJAX-JUVENTUS=1-1 Cristiano Ronaldo 45',David Neres 46'.
Lucky Juventus to get away with a draw. Ajax definitely could have and should have scored at least 2 goals but Szczesny was ready when needed plus Ziyech and Van de Beek missed few good chances. Not much from Juventus who did put up some attacking actions but with not real danger for Onana. Nice plays by Bernardeschi but stunning the Cancelo's cross for the CR7 lead goal's header at the end of the first half. The equaliser came right after the second half whistle when Neres got the ball and delivered right behind the Bianconeri's keeper with a nice shot. Important goal for Juventus away but it's not gonna be easy for Allegri in the second leg. We still believe Juve will make it to the Semi-Final but surprises might show up here.
MANCHESTER UNITED-BARCELONA=0-1 Luke Shaw 12'(Own Goal).
What a pity for Manchester United. Very unfortunate to get the only goal of the match in that way when Suarez's header got deflected by Shaw in the net. Goal was conceded after a Var check. The Solskjaer guys definitely deserved something more out of this match but they simply were not precise enough. Many shots went over the bar or out of target and at this level you need to be more dangerous if you want to upset results. Messi and company didn't do much but especially because of the Man Utd solidity. Still they came out of the Old Trafford with a one goal win which is a fair enough result. Hard to think of surprises here. We are sure Messi and Barcelona will be on fire at Camp Nou. Good Luck!
