“It’s good to know that I am among the best in this statistic, it means that I am doing things well, rejoiced the one who was elected player of the match at the microphone of Sky Sports. I am happy to be able to contribute by being decisive and I want to continue on this path.”
Champions League: Bruges takes a good point against Juventus and is 99% qualified, completely crazy match between Benfica and Barça!
In all competitions, he even has a total of 21 contributions (11 goals, 10 assists) and is already getting closer to his mark from last season (14 and 11). “I have always believed in my work and tried to improve day by day. I feel good now, I am growing and I want to continue giving the best of myself to help the team. I am happy here and I feel the trust of everyone.”
Next week, the Red Devil will confidently challenge Barça (who snatched victory from Benfica in a crazy match: 5-4). “We have to go there with the right mentality and the goal of getting into the top 8. It will be a very difficult challenge, but we will go to give the best of ourselves and look for a positive result.”
Tielemans misses himself
The start of the evening, however, went much less well for Youri Tielemans who, despite a solid performance in the midfield, had to lose to his former club AS Monaco (1-0). Aston Villa’s place (Onana was injured) in the final top 8 is now compromised.
Duranville very discreet
Traveling to Bologna, Julien Duranville celebrated his second consecutive start in the Champions League. But unlike the match against Barça during which he created a lot of danger, the young 18-year-old Belgian was almost invisible this time.
-His record: two dribbles, four passes given and only 14 balls touched in 64 minutes, the lowest total in the BVB. Worse still, he only received the leather once in the second half, when Dortmund resisted attacks from Bologna. The Italians finally overthrew the Germans (1-1 then 2-1 in two minutes) by taking advantage of defensive errors.

Bakayoko was scared
If Dortmund (12 pts) makes a very bad operation with a view to the top 8 (and his coach Nuri Sahin risks paying the price), PSV (11 pts) is reassured for its goal of top 24 despite the two Serbian goals in the last twenty minutes (2-3). Holder, Johan Bakayoko caused the corner kick which led to the first Dutch goal.
Beaten miller
Thomas Meunier, Axel Witsel and Ameen Al-Dakhil were also out. But all three of them started the evening on the bench. The exclusion of Mandi, however, allowed Meunier to play the last half hour at Anfield. But it also made the task of Lille more complex. Despite Jonathan David’s unexpected equalizer (62nd: 1-1), Liverpool took the upper hand via Elliott (67th) to continue their flawless performance (21/21) and put an end to Lille’s historic series of invincibility ( 21 matches).
For its part, Atletico de Witsel (which did not play) won at the last minute against Leverkusen (2-1), while Stuttgart – with Al-Dakhil in the last ten minutes – won without forcing in Bratislava (1-3).
