Round-up Champions League – 3-1 at Milan: Kobel saves penalty and is in the round of 16 with BVB – Sport

  • In the hammer Group F of the Champions League, BVB is in the round of 16 thanks to a 3-1 win at AC Milan.
  • Paris St-Germain has progress in their own hands after a late point win at home against Newcastle.
  • Atletico Madrid and Lazio qualify for the knockout phase in Group E and FC Barcelona in Group H.

Group F: Dortmund gets their ticket to the round of 16

BVB won despite less play and shots on goal and can no longer be pushed out of one of the top two places before the last group game. But the game could have taken a different course: In the 6th minute, Olivier Giroud was denied by Gregor Kobel from the penalty spot. 4 minutes later, Marco Reus did better on the other side with his penalty to take the early lead. After Milan’s equalizer before half-time, Jamie Bynoe-Gittens (59′) and substitute Karim Adeyemi (69′) made the decision within 10 minutes.

  • Paris SG – Newcastle 1:1

Kylian Mbappé secured Paris St-Germain a 1-1 draw against Fabian Schär’s Newcastle with a penalty goal deep in stoppage time (90+8) and thus the best starting position for the remaining round of 16 ticket. Newcastle had been in the front for a long time at the Parc des Princes. Alexander Isak took the lead after an insufficient save from Gianluigi Donnarumma (24th). Only a handball from Tino Livramento in their own penalty area would finally help the clearly superior Parisians at least one point.

Group E: Atletico in the knockout phase

Atletico Madrid has qualified for the knockout phase. Central defender Mario Hermoso put the “Rojiblancos” on the road to victory with a wonderful volley in the 57th minute to make it 2-0. A quarter of an hour before the end, Mats Wieffer reduced the score to 1:2, but just four minutes later Feyenoord striker Santiago Gimenez scored into his own goal. It was the second own goal for the hosts, who had fallen behind 0-1 in the 14th minute after scoring in their own box.

Because of Feyenoord’s defeat, Lazio is also in the round of 16 after their home win against Celtic. Above all thanks to striker Ciro Immobile: The captain practically single-handedly led the eleventh-placed team in Serie A to their third complete success in the fifth group game with a late brace. In the 82nd minute, Immobile converted a deflected cross from a few meters. 3 minutes later he let Celtic defender Cameron Carter-Vickers get out in the penalty area and then safely scored with his left.

Due to the narrow but deserved home win against Porto, Barcelona cannot be intercepted by either the Portuguese or Shakhtar Donetsk with one match day left. Joao Cancelo countered the 1-0 away lead after half an hour with a remarkable shot just two minutes later. After the break, the Portuguese played for compatriot Joao Felix, who skillfully scored to make it 2-1 for Barcelona.

Thanks to a win in the third “home game” in Hamburg, Shakhtar Donetsk is still in sight of the knockout phase. The Ukrainian champions defeated Royal Antwerp with the minimum result and thus caught up with second-placed Porto in Group H. Mykola Matvijenko (12th) scored the decisive goal early on after a free kick cross. The guests already suffered their 5th defeat in the 5th game.
