The other shock of the day is certainly the meeting between Inter Milan and Arsenal. Here too, woe to the vanquished, to a lesser extent than the Parisians and Madrilenians. Respectively 8th and 9th, one of these two teams can take a big step towards qualification if successful. From the first seconds of the match, Dumfries, isolated by Zielenski, hit the crossbar.
The role and status of Leandro Trossard at Arsenal continues to divide: “He wasn’t in it, but he’s fantastic…”
Among other matches, Vincent Kompany’s Bayern hosts Benfica. The meeting started fifteen minutes late.
For its part, Barca travels to Red Star Belgrade. The Catalans opened the scoring from a standstill thanks to Inigo Martinez, who headed in a superb cross from Raphinha. But the Catalans were caught in the lead shortly before the hour mark following Silas’s opening goal. Robert Lewandowski was in the right place, at the end of the first period, to put Barça back in control, following Raphinha’s send onto the post.
Finally, Feyenoord faces Red Bull Salzburg, who opened the scoring at the end of the first period (0-1), while Brest leads Sparta Prague (0-1) and Stuttgart faces Atalanta (0-0).
