Group H.

PSG – Leipzig 1-0

Paris Saint-Germain have averted the imminent end of the Champions League group stage for the time being. The French returned the favor to Leipzig with a 1-0 defeat three weeks ago.

A foul by Marcel Sabitzer on Angel Di Maria after eight minutes proved to be the decisive action in the match between the two attacking teams in the Parisian Prinzenpark. Neymar, absent in the first leg, converted the penalty due.

Had there been another misstep, last year’s finalists would have threatened to end the group stage. PSG and Leipzig are now three points behind the Manchester United leader.

Group F.

Dortmund 3-0 Bruges

In Group F, Borussia Dortmund and Lazio Roma made giant steps towards the round of 16. BVB won 3-0 at home against Club Bruges thanks to a brace from Erling Haaland and a free-kick from Jadon Sancho. The 20-year-old Dortmund striker from Norway had already scored four goals against Hertha Berlin on Saturday. In the Champions League he now has 16 goals in 12 games.

Dortmund’s child prodigy Youssoufa Moukoko is still denied his debut and hence the title of the youngest Champions League player of all time, the 16-year-old sat on the bench for only 90 minutes.

Rennes – Chelsea 1: 2

Chelsea FC qualified early for the Champions League round of 16 thanks to a hard-fought 2-1 win at Stade Rennes. Substitute Olivier Giroud scored the deciding goal in injury time after the ‘Blues’ conceded a deserved draw for Rennes from Sehrou Guirassy shortly before. At the start of the match, Chelsea were clearly the better team and deservedly took the lead with Callum Hudson-Odoi. After that, Frank Lampard’s team lost a lot and so the victory in the end is a bit flattering.
