Da Luz in Lisbon hosted the evening match of the first match of the 5th round of the Champions League, where Benfica beat Juventus with a score of 4:3 (leading 4:1) and solemnly advanced to the “16” competition from the 8th groups along with Paris SZ who had an easy night out beating Maccabi Haifa 7-2.

A superb win that kept them in the qualifying position was also achieved by Leipzig 3-2 against Real Madrid, while Milan beat Dinamo Zagreb 4-0 and overtook Salzburg in 2nd place in Group 1, who lost 2-1 to Chelsea.

Nine goals in matches “Paris” – “Maccabi” (Haifa) – “Barcelona” – “Bayern” and “Ajax” – “Liverpool” overshadow everyone today.
For today’s matches, the focus will be on two stadiums: the Camp Nou, where Barcelona will host Bayern, and the Johan Cruyff Arena, where Ajax will play Liverpool. In Barcelona, Barça are out of competition with one match and want their own victory, while at the same time, Inter don’t need to beat a trailing Viktoria Plzen in Milan to stay alive in the qualifying game. .
In Amsterdam, Ajax essentially lost hope of continuing in the Champions League, but on the other hand, Liverpool want three points left in the hunt for the leader and undefeated Napoli, who at the same time will welcome the worst and unranked Rangers. .
The matches of the 4th group are also important, where all teams can be from the first to … the last. Schedule today: 1st: Napoli v Rangers, Ajax v Liverpool. 2nd: Brugge – Porto, Atlético – Leverkusen. 3rd place: Barcelona – Bayern, Inter – Viktoria Plzen. 4th: Tottenham – Sporting, Eintracht – Marseille.
