Champions League
Haaland returns to Westphalia, the Real train does not want to stop in Leipzig
Erling Haaland returns to the Ruhr area for the first time as an opponent in Dortmund’s first game against City. Previously unbeaten Real Madrid are looking to get past Leipzig in a bid to take a big step towards group winners, while Matchday 5 is expected to be crucial for Chelsea’s AC Milan in Group Five.
Champions League action returned after the ‘pause’ due to the domestic cups with many interesting clashes for Day 5 of the top club competition.
The game between Dortmund and Manchester City is without a doubt one of the most eye-catching games. The face of the game is Erling Haaland, who returns to Westphalia as an opponent for the first time and will lead the Citizens’ aggressive effort to secure top spot in the group.
Of course, he is not the only returnee, as the English champions also signed Swiss stopper Manuel Akanji from Dortmund last summer, who is also scheduled to start at Signal Induna Park.
The other match of the seventh group takes place between Sevilla and Copenhagen. With the data so far, the two teams are fighting for the third place, which leads to the Europa League, however, the winner has the opportunity to qualify for the “16” in the following game against Dortmund.
Real wants to secure first place in Leipzig
Real Madrid will want the three points at home in Leipzig while securing first place in Group 6 should Shakhtar fail to get past Celtic.
The Merengues will be without Karim Benzema for another game, while Carlo Ancelotti has a trio of Vinicius, Rodrigo and Asensio.
In the other game in Scotland, Celtic will be challenged by Giorgos Giakoumakis to pick up the three points to keep hopes of a continuation of the European course alive, at least in the Europa League.
The fight continues in the death group
Chelsea and AC Milan couldn’t get past Salzburg and Dinamo Zagreb, with the Rossoneri currently fourth on goal difference.
Stefano Pioli’s side are just one win away in Croatia to stay within reach of qualifying for the Champions League round of 16 and taking on Salzburg in the final round.
On the other hand, Chelsea, who saved the game with a two-from-two against Milan and are top of the group, are aiming to move past Austria by three points to take a crucial step towards qualifying for the next stage .
Vlachodemos wants to secure qualification against Juventus
Benfica host Juventus in Da Luz and Vlahodemos will defend the Portuguese goalposts for another game. The Lisbon Eagles know they only need one point (unless Maccabi beats Paris Saint-Germain in Paris) to qualify for the last 16.
The Bianconeri are saved for the Champions League with just three points, while a defeat in Portugal could even jeopardize third place in the Europa League.
