Champions League: Show of strength from Arsenal, draw for Sevilla and Lance
Arsenal destroyed Eindhoven in London for the first time in the first group of the Champions League, leaving behind Sevilla and Lance, who neutralized each other in Andalusia (1-1).
Arsenal demonstrated their strength against Eindhoven and with the 4:0 premiered at “Emirates”. 1st group In the Champions League they took the lead early on and showed spirit.
The Gunners welcomed the leaders of the Eredivisie, but the gap between the two clubs was quite large. The Dutch struggled to put together a dangerous endgame and the English managed to exploit the gaps left by Eindhoven in defense with almost every attack.
It wasn’t until the 8th minute that Bucagio Saka scored the first goal after a rebound from a shot by Martin Edgard, and in the 20th minute the excellent Leandro Trossar made it 2-0 after a counterattack. The Belgian was in excellent form and set up Gabriel Jesus to make it 3-0 in the 38th minute, with the Londoners’ three attacking players named scorers.
The score of the 1st part was enough to predict the final winner. Arsenal took control of the ball and felt even more confident as the Dutch could no longer get close to David Raya’s goal, favored by Aaron Ramsdale.
The tempo slowed, the rain became heavier and Mikel Arteta began to find his feet and changed some players. Later it was Peter Bosch’s turn and Martin Edgard punished him with the home team’s fourth goal in the 70th minute with a shot from outside the penalty area, thus setting up the final score.
- ARSENAL: Raya, White, Saliba, Magaliaes, Zinchenko (59′ Tomiyasu), Edgard, Rice (78′ Jorginho), Havertz, Saka (69′ Vieira), Jesus (68′ Smith Rowe), Trossard (58′ Nelson)

Seville and lance They are struggling to win the domestic leagues this year and have not made it to the Champions League either. The 1-1 in “Ramon Sanchez Pitjuan” they hold back in the first group standings, but keep their qualification hopes intact.
The game started with a goal, after just 8 minutes a fantastic header from Lucas Ocampos gave the home team the lead. The French reaction was also wonderful when Angelo Fulzini beat Marko Dmitrovic with a direct free kick in the 24th minute to make it 1-1.
The Andalusians’ dominance was obvious, but out of four successful final appearances in five attempts, they only managed to beat Brice Saba in one.
In the second part, the picture of the game changed drastically. The intervention of Dodi Luquebaccio in the first minutes helped the Andalusians to further finals, but the rest belonged to the “Lanchois”.
Dmitrovic became a star with his interventions (and at times Sergio Ramos, who played for the first time in the competition against Sevilla) and saved the draw. A Morgan Gilavogi header from outside the box could have turned the tide for Lance, but the home goalkeeper said again “NO”.
After the referee’s final whistle, both teams were relieved but also frustrated as they fought for victory.
- SEVILLE: Dmitrovic, Juanlu (80′ Navas), Goodell, Ramos, Pedrosa, Fernando, Shaw (63′ Soumare), Lamela (63′ Lukebakio), Rakitic (74′ Suso), Ocampos, En Nesiri (80′ Diath).
- LANCE: Samba, Grandet, Danso, Medina, Frankovski, Abdul Samed, Mendy (71′ Diouf), Masado (85′ Haidara), Sotoka, Fulzini (78′ Tomazon), Wai (71′ Gilavogi)

Former coach of Dynamo Kiev Alexander Showkovsky He should have been sacked in August after a poor performance in the Champions League qualifiers.
The blue-whites, who lost twice to Cypriot Paphos in the 3rd round of the European Cup (0:1 and 0:2), were relegated to the Europa League and then promoted to the Conference League.
“I know that Dinamo management believes that a change of coach could and should be made in the summer, after they lost to Paphos in the Champions League qualifiers.
Then an opportunity arose. But the necessary candidate was not available,” the source said.
Due to the lack of alternatives, the president of the Kiev club decided to leave Shovkovsky as head coach, but in November the Ukrainian specialist was nevertheless fired and left Dynamo.

We continue to examine the future of Donetsk shakhtar To buy tickets directly to the main stage Champions League 2026/27.
This will be possible if the place reserved for the team that wins the Champions League trophy is redistributed.
All important moments of the match are available in LIVE mode Telegram Sport.ua
Donetsk Miner They are in fourth place with a coefficient of 50.250 among the clubs competing for a possible position at the heart of the Champions League.
In the last European week, the Donetsk club added +2.625 points. This increase was achieved with a 0-0 draw with Croatian Rijeka in the 6th round of the Conference League and a sixth place in the main round final table.
Main rival Greek Olympiacos – 56,500 points remaining. The Miners can regain the 6,250-point lead if they perform well in the spring part of the European Cups.
It is interesting that Shakhtar lost the first place in the UPL (Cherkasy has the same number of points as LNZ – 35 points each), and Olympiacos lost the lead in Greece to the AEK team (36 points against 37). Ukrainian striker Roman Yaremchuk plays for the team of the city of Piraeus.
Positions rangers (59,250), 4th in Scotland and Copenhagen (53.375), placed 5th in Denmark, looks less competitive in the rankings due to its position in the national championships. Leader only in championships Dinamo Zagreb And RB Salzburg (44,000 each) but there is no certainty that the turn will come.
Let us remind you that if the cup holder buys a ticket to the Champions League through the national championship, there will be a vacancy in the main squad in the 2026/27 Champions League. In this case, a balance will arise again and if Shakhtar wins the UPL and is ahead of Olympiacos in the UEFA club rankings (or the Greek club does not become the champion of Greece), it can get a direct ticket to the base of the Champions League.
If the Piraeus team is higher in the rankings and takes advantage of the available space, the Donetsk club will start from the 4th quarter of the Champions League, not the 2nd quarter, in case they win in the UPL.

Pedri commented on the new format of the Champions League: An unexpected look from a football player
Barcelona midfielder pedri He answered the question about his attitude towards the new format of the Champions League with the general group stage.
“Do I like the new format of the Champions League? I can’t say with 100% certainty which format I like more: this one or the previous one?”
If I have to choose, I will do something new: There were more matches between strong teams in the first stage,” said Pedri, as quoted by Esquire.
Before the 2024/2025 season, the group stage of the Champions League consisted of eight groups of four clubs each. All participants played six matches in their respective foursomes, home and away, against each of the three opponents.
From the 2024/2025 season, a new Champions League format comes into force with a common group stage of 36 clubs; each participant plays eight matches, four away and four at home; The opponents are determined by lot.”
