HT | Barcelona 1-1 PSG

A very high quality affair so far at the Camp Nou. Les Parisiens have perhaps just edged it but level on guilt-edged chances being missed: Mauro Icardi x2, as well as, Ousmane Dembélé & Antoine Griezmann. Marc André ter Stegen looking a little wobbly.

What a way to announce yourself as Les Parisiens manager for Mauricio Pochettino in his 1st big game in charge. None of the showings in recent weeks from Les Parisiens suggested this was coming but Verratti, Kean, Paredes & hat-trick star Mbappé were amazing tonight.

RB Leipzig 0-2 Liverpool FT:

:soccer: Salah

Other than Dani Olmo hitting the post, RBL failed to create anything of note & struggled defensively - Liverpool did an excellent job of nullifying the threat of Angeliño & pressured Dayot Upamecano into numerous mistakes. Big task in 3 weeks time.

After 24 years, Andriy Shevchenko has some company.

Before tonight, Mauricio Pochettino had faced Barcelona 11 times in his managerial career with his only win coming at Camp Nou during their 2008-09 treble-winning season…

His PSG side just became the first French team to beat Barça at Camp Nou in the Champions League.

FC Porto vs Juventus preview:

Italian champions Juventus will be in action on Wednesday night when they face off against Portuguese giants FC Porto at Estadio do Dragao.

Juventus ended their group stage as leaders of Group G, finishing above La Liga giants Barcelona due to a superior head-to-head record. While Andrea Pirlo’s men have been in good nick since the turn of the year, they head into Wednesday’s game desperate to win, having failed to do so in their last two matches in all competitions, most recently losing 1-0 to Napoli in Serie A.

Porto, meanwhile, finished as comfortable runners-up in Group C behind Manchester City, losing just one of their six games in the first round. Sergio Conceicao’s men have not won any of their last four games across all competitions, with each of them ending in draws, the most recent one being a 2-2 stalemate against Boavista. They will be hoping to end that run against Juventus.
