Borussia Monchengladbach 4 - SEVILLA 2

Sevilla signs in Monchengladbach his deportation Out of the Champions area. A sad goodbye. With a day in advance, grimly, distant from those summer days with the Sanchez Pizjuan on as gateway figures. The match against Juventus on the final day, she imagined magic, be a martyr. Because of Borussia Park came the worst news. The defeat at the edge of humiliation against Gladbach, very rehabilitated in relation to spectrum paced Sevilla in September, it puts very black third place that would allow the Sevilla drop to the Europa League, the competition that understands you. Juventus needs to win and do not Gladbach in Manchester for his fall, at least, be network. He began the sad Sevilla, as if a psychological defeat is anticipase. Far from that impressed last year on the same stage, Borussia sniffed that weakness and attacked. He combined with comfort and prowled around the area without much opposition. Thus came the goal, with a shift from side to side. Xhaka, good southpaw, shot crossed by someone passing by. The back four of Sevilla decided not to move and Stindl, intuitive, it did hit the ball's trajectory. For when Gladbach made it 1-0, Mandzukic was marked in Turin. All wrong. All against Sevilla, which was bombed (more than 20 shots on Sergio Rico, Schubert clear indication technique to test Sergio Rico) by land, sea and air. Krohn-Dehli, who appeared as a solution to combat the Rhine center field, played with maddening slowness. Banega neither side prevailed and came which left little to the opponent, a team with an honest Futboll but nothing sure. A Sevilla butter, leagues vibrant, aggressive and proud team that was months ago. After two or three attempts with no real evil of Konoplyanka and Gameiro in the second half, the goals started to fall and tears. Fabian Johnson, a player who dazzled in the World with the United States, made a goal of quality. And so to the end, except the ornaments that allowed Banega Vitolo and rescue the goal average and let a flicker of hope. Sevilla ran but did not compete because it is a worse team ready to suffer and to win. It will soon, as a false decision, worsening their records of 2008 and 2010 in the competition.

Manchester United can not with PSV

Manchester United through to the knockout stage of the Champions League is complicated after being unable to move from 0-0 at home to PSV ordered. The English side dominated possession as usual but was more or less and might even pay racanería Louis Van Gaal with more punishment in the final minutes. He has to win in two weeks at home Wolfsburg, current leader of the group, to mathematically ensure a spot in the next round of the competition or, failing that, expect a CSKA already eliminated will make an early Christmas present his visit to the Dutch.
The game was more of the same (low) of a United inconsequential base that bore the opponent possessions but also their amateur. The paper, with four forwards (Martial, Rooney, Depay and Lingard) says one thing and reality another. Because no matter how much the players and the technical orders book Van Gaal is clear that rewards more technical rigor and not conceding that record them.
So while his despised Di Maria scoring and two goals in Malmo, the United added its fifth 0-0 so far this season (one against Middlesbrough cost the elimination of the Capital One Cup on penalties) for Old Trafford frustration. Or Martial or Depay, far Rooney, managed to translate the sometimes ball control during a first half dull. One more. Only the French could embarrass Zoet once but his shot was as shy as the whistles that were beginning to appear and then a tired crowd.
Van Gaal then returned to challenge his plan long ball to Fellaini in the second half. The Belgian, however, created uncomfortable in a perfectly ordered Young, who entered Depay in 59 PSV, made threats of wake up your computer but their effect is diluted almost immediately and gave Lingard just send the best chance of the game the clouds. PSV, who started the game by giving good draw, then came up taking the class to mount counterattacks Guardado. De Jong and Locadia, however, failed above. The Dutch coach Van Gaal already resorted to desperate and with just five minutes left at the entrance to Mata Darmian as firefighting. The plan, if he had, did not work and the Old Trafford team will have to play life in Germany.

PSG 5 Malmo 0

Paris Saint-Germain celebrated the return of Zlatan Ibrahimovic to Malmo with a resounding victory (5-0) and qualify for the knockout stages of the Champions League.

Dressed in black with the message "Je suis Paris" (I'm Paris) instead of its traditional sponsors in tribute to the victims of the attacks of the French capital, the leader of the Ligue 1 did not force his talent to win in Sweden. After 3 minutes, the young rabiot, starting in place of injured Verratti, I take a good cross from Van der Wiel to head home and sign the first goal of his career in the Champions League (0-1, min.3).

Nine minutes later, on the second occasion PSG Di María scored his sixth goal of the season at the French side. Upon receipt of a good low cross Matuidi, Argentine shipping, uncontrollably, a powerful left-foot shot that hit the crossbar before entering the net Malmo (0-2 Min.14).

After this disastrous start, the Swedish group gradually came into the game and came close to cut away when Berget control a shot that forced Trapp to shine (min. 23). Dominating the level of ball possession, PSG again pressed the accelerator in the second half and Zlatan captain tonight, he scored his goal. Former Milan striker took advantage of a recovery and a pass from Matuidi to send a cross kick right foot but not stop him play Wiland (0-3 Min.50).

60 minutes into the Malmo had a good opportunity when referee Willie Collum, decided to whistle a penalty by a little obvious lack of Maxwell in the area. Rosenberg threw that penalty but saw his shot crashing into the left corner of Trapp. Ten minutes later, PSG pushed up the marker, once again, thanks to Di Maria. The former Madrid player combined with Maxwell and headed home to sign a doublet (0-4 Min.70).

Shortly before come into play, Lucas concluded that placid victory with an unstoppable free kick into the final of the encounter (0-5 Min.81). Thanks to this victory, PSG qualify for the knockout stages of the Champions and shows that will be a team to beat in this competition despite finishing second in their group below Real Madrid.

Juventus 1 Manchester city 0

Juventus showed that he has taken the measure to Manchester City and again beat him to ensure his presence in the second round and, incidentally, placed first group. Mandzukic was the only one aim in a carousel of occasions that ended with the victory by the minimum of the Italian side. Pellegrini and threw the coin came up tails. This two-sided City again offered his most bitter version. And maybe she did not deserve to lose but lacked once again, the need to build a party that was soon turned against nature. He lacked aim, defensive forcefulness and Aguero. The Argentine showed to be far from his best form and just disturbed a Juve won their right to win and great opportunity to spend as group winners. Allegri presented a clear 4-4-2 with Dybala Mandzukic and pointed and gave the formula result. He warned the City first two shots Fernandinho who found strength but did not seek placement. As a good Italian team, Juventus did not throw warnings and knocked on his first arrival. Alex Sandro center finished him off at will Mandzukic 18 minutes. The exrojiblanco hooked a good one-touch shot while Otamendi claimed a foul that was a mere struggle. Juve grabbed Alex Sandro interned and an Pogba recovered to highlight the lack of defensive intensity 'citizen'. Mandzukic was about to repeat success in the auction but this time found a providential hand of Hart. The City, in shock, he found a gift from Marchisio as unwelcome assignment. Example disconnection Aguero, who was unable to appreciate the gift in the hand to hand with Buffon. As usual in recent months, the veteran goalkeeper was Italian giants goal. Aa face to face with Aguero was followed, and in the second half, a header by Fernandinho that 'Gigi' neutralized with a reflex action. Forgiveness of Morata searched Pellegrini reacted with Sterling and Allegri exploit the spaces of a City dump with the entry of Morata. The Spanish had the statement in his boots twice. A lob that eventually crash Sturaro the post and Hart were a great move that disrupted their acts of rebellion by his replacement. Sterling sent to limbo the last time and thus much of the City of options to top the group. Now they must wait for a failure of a Juve that as long as it may seem on the contrary, has everything under control with his cold way to play.

An unstable Real Madrid 4 Shakhtar 3

The Madrid not out of the doldrums. Despite the victory (3-4) gave very bad feelings in the final stretch. In the absence of a quarter hour, whites overcame 0-4 with two goals from Cristiano, one of Modric and another Carvajal. Teixeira two goals and one came Dentinho Shakhtar. To improve.

The first step to face a change is to recognize that there is a problem. Benitez took him by himself and began therapy equipment. He pulled out a lineup with only four starters Classic, with its Casemiro, his 4-4-2, the Madrid arropadito and well ordered. After Saturday's lesson got four midfielders, with Modric released and loose Isco. And so pressed, he recovered played and thrashed.

Before the 20th minute did the first Christian cross from Bale, who took a sensational service Modric. Ronaldo celebrated it as usual, although one might think that white would be timid after the 0-4 at the Bernabeu. But it is to understand, since the team met in the first pineapple. They needed a hug. Although they were not looking for service, like they did with Ancelotti few months ago. Backed by the Board did not find continuity in the grass.

He warned Madrid in the final stretch of the first half, which already lost control of the ball. Moreover, without Varane, another victim of the plague of injuries in the white dress. But output in the second half whirlwind implied that the medication worked. Within five minutes he scored a pass from Cristiano Modric and seven Carvajal sleeve pulled a goal by museum and claim. A "here I am" in the making. He pulled a pipe inside the box, looked at the goal and put it, with his left, soft, in the opposite corner, where the spiders sleep.

0-3, little dances at celebrations, smiles. More so when Bale turned on the bike and gave the room a Christian, who thanked him making the spoon on the lawn. The Welsh again demonstrated that although you want to search the centrality, its policies are left. And since that's where you should take heaven by assault, not disguised as '10', which does not shine despite attempts Benitez. The room did not close the wound, but it helped. Penalties with rumba and goals are less punishment.

And the technical ratified started making changes. He entered Kroos Benzema came, James stayed on the bench 90 minutes, and the team slept. When Casemiro Taison rammed inside the area in the 78th and Teixeira made the 1-4, the lament was that whites were not going to finish the group stage unbeaten. When Dentinho finished off a corner with his chest at the far post, more alone than the one for the 2-4 in the 83 ', some began to shake.

But when defined Teixeira 3-4 in the 88th minute, disco lights came on and the glass and the liquid was just what they were before some ice dancing "clink, clink" to the beat of a lively pace. The Madrid wanted to party and ended up drunk to forget. With feigned dignity intoxicated that endured the result until the final whistle. The final set is as worrying as general anesthesia Classic. The green shoots planted Madrid and Madrid cut the roots without letting them grow. Of course, top of the group. And who knows what will the world in mid-February

ASTANA 2 BENFICA 2 ( UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE )

Atletico Madrid was criticized by tying in the capital of Kazakhstan a month ago; Galatasaray had not managed to win. Benfica proved why. Freezing, indoors with artificial grass, it seems that ideas are blocked. Astana came with, but executed perfectly, at least yesterday: long passes to the backs of the side and run; and run a few will win the congonés Kabananga and especially Twumasi, Ghanaian for more signs. He scored the first goal, missed another and it was a nightmare in his rides, almost always accompanied by Kabananga.

Ten minutes from the Ghanaian goal, Anicic combed a side kick and scored the second of Astana in this competition. Until then all the goals scored were own goals to the opponent. Benfica, with its classic game of touch and more shorter, chewed through, was caught in dubious balls cons and the most daring of the premises. Two goals in ten minutes was a national holiday in Kazajistán.El Benfica pulled one back, doing what the Astana, catch the back of the defense and focus the area without looking. So mark Jimenez got a good head and coming to rest in the hope of a comeback to keep watch anything turnovers.

In the second half, Astana lines delayed or forced them to delay the opponent, who continued to lose much ball in the midfield to enjoy Central African Foxi and the ubiquitous Kabananga. Between one thing and another, Julio Cesar had to be used to fund under the goal and out of the area with quick exits. The depth of the Kazakhs and the touch of the Portuguese, two different interpretations of football, gave the meeting an interest that few predicted a priori; gradually depleting the batteries were African Astana riders. Benfica won inch by inch, without creating chances. The Portuguese coach Rui Vitoria, brought out a side of soda and the sniper Talisca, if he caught something at long range, but it was again the Mexican Jimenez, the smartest of the carpet, who tied the game when it was worse his team. One point that gives the classification to Benfica; it will play the lead in their field with Atletico Madrid.

ARSENAL 3 DINAMO ZAGREB 0 ( Uefa Champions League . Finish the game )

Arsene Wenger owes much to Pep Guardiola, Lewandowski, Müller and all Bayern. The rout of the Bavarian giants Olympiacos (4-0) gave life to the Gunners, who passed without trouble the proceedings before the Dinamo Zagreb. There was no pain at the Emirates (3-0). The end of Piraeus on the horizon and Arsenal only two combinations are worth it: win by two goals or one scoring three or more goals. In London, the Croatian team was less fierce than in Zagreb. It takes something was 12 games without a win in Champions. It fell to Özil, Alexis and a superlative Monreal. He climbed down the left flank overflowing everything that came out. With holder Campbell, Arsenal was upright and fast. Alexis Özil a play which became a diving header goal was manufactured. More assistance from the 'Boy Wonder' and Ozil goal. He has scored three goals and given eight gifts in the last nine games. An exercise regularly. The Chilean attacker was a torment. He made it 2-0 inside the area after a robbery and pass a very participatory Monreal. Eduardo Ozil left without his hat-trick with two saves. In Champions, the goal 'gunner' is a matter of Alexis. Thinking Greece Arsenal stopped running in the second act and just play. Alexis found his second goal. And adds three in the Champions League. Giroud, Campbell, Özil ... all proved to Eduardo, the best of the visitors. Wenger already has an end. Since 1999, Arsenal do not like your group stage. After his slow start in the group stage, in Piraeus will seek to continue the

Barcelona 6 Roma 1 ( Uefa Champions League. )

20 minutes into the game, Roma and begging for mercy to heaven and when the referee. Barca won 2-0 then with 80 percent of possession and giving a sense of superiority relentless cruelty bordering on football. This club is a steamroller that confirmed at the time of Rome's extraordinary how all records that showed against Real Madrid. And if you add to that recital involving Leo Messi, although account will break Iniesta, who was the best of the best in the Classic, torture for the opponent can be very painful. Thus, as the 6-1 that endorsed the team of Luis Enrique to the Italians who puts them not only as undisputed leaders of their group, but as the favorite to win it all again. Today, the only question is to see if the club has reached its peak too early game, but considering that Messi is the middle of production, Iniesta rested and who are Arda Turan debut and Aleix Vidal, the bar of this team still seems unattainable. A machine. Barca is in a sensational time. It's a team that torments opponents in all quadrants of the field. He lets not get the ball because his front pressed as pitbulls rival; midfield runs like clockwork and defense sometimes just gives and gives and even thrashed heels in the penalty area and the substitute goalkeeper is a titan for penalties. A recital of a full-fledged computer today can afford to destroy any opponent regardless start Mascherano and Iniesta and Busquets Part. Today, nobody plays like Barca and it seems that no one can approach this level. A runaway sporting equipment gutting rivals.
