Five goals between Barça and Dortmund in an exciting showdown, Juventus pushes Manchester City on their lawn, Milan escapes at the very end of the match… Discover the results of the multiplex of the 6th day of the Champions League.
It was worth the wait. After a first period without relief, like the entire multiplex of this 6th day of the Champions League, FC Barcelona and Borussia Dortmund put on a show after returning from the locker room.
Last word for Barça in Dortmund
And in this little game, from one penalty area to another, Barça had the last word on the BVB pitch, winning 2-3. Goals from Raphinha (53rd) and Ferran Torres, scorer of a double (75th, 85th), allowed the Blaugranas to shake the Jaune et Noir who came back twice thanks to Guirassy (60th sp, 78th). Best attack in the competition (21 goals scored in six matches), the Catalan team coached by Hansi Flick is second in the standings with 15 points, three lengths behind Liverpool. Defeated with arms in hand, Dortmund fell to 9th place with 12 units on the clock.
City falls back dangerously, Juve opportunistic
Far from its heights, we find Manchester City. Pep Guardiola’s Citizens, more than ever in crisis, fell on the lawn of Juventus Turin (2-0), opportunistic in the second half on goals from Vlahovic (53rd) – well helped by the hand error of the Mancunian goalkeeper Ederson who regained his starting place – then McKennie (75th). Kevin De Bruyne and his teammates, in full doubt, were very little dangerous except before half-time when the Norwegian Erling Haaland missed his face-to-face (40th). This setback at the Allianz Stadium is obviously worrying for the English champions, beaten for the seventh time in ten games and now relegated to 22nd in the standings. Three places and only one point ahead of PSG, who will welcome them to the Parc des Princes on the next day, January 22. For a shock of fear that already smells of gunpowder.
The Milan bargain
At the same time, AC Milan and Benfica Lisbon had very good chances to play against more modest opponents. Certainly shaken, the Milanese club provided the essentials by winning 2-1 against Red Star Belgrade. After a sublime opening score from Rafael Leao (42nd), Tammy Abraham (87th) offered a capital success to the Rossoneri while former Marseillais Nemanja Radonjic equalized in fine fashion for the Serbs (67th). Now 12th, Mike Maignan’s Rossoneri have a glimpse of the top 8. On the other hand, Benfica missed the boat by conceding a sad draw against Bologna (0-0) despite around fifteen shots attempted. The Portuguese, who will host FC Barcelona on the 7th day, however remain well placed in 15th position.
Stuttgart and Feyenoord delight their audience
Finally, the evening’s boxes came from Germany and the Netherlands. PSG’s last opponent on January 29, Stuttgart humiliated the Young Boys of Berne in the second half (5-1), although they were ahead in the 6th minute. French attacking midfielder Enzo Millot stood out with a goal (53rd) and an assist. In the ranking of the league phase, the Bundesliga resident (26th) climbs to the level of… PSG with 7 points. In 18th place is Feyenoord who also produced an offensive festival. 4-2 victory in front of Sparta Prague for the Dutch, future opponents of Lille during the final bouquet of the 8th day.
