Donetsk Shakhtar won another match against Belgian Antwerp (1:0), which became a big news for the Ukrainian fans late on Tuesday evening. Another important update was observed in the match between the rivals of the “Girniki” in Group H, the Catalan Barcelona and the Portuguese Porto, who met on the field of the Olympic Stadium in Barcelona for the appointment of Volodar to the front row in our quartet.

Whether the result of this match will work out for Marino Pusic’s team, only for the heads of Barcelona’s victories or the path to the play-offs of the UEFA Champions League itself for the “Girniki” seems more realistic. Apparently the “dragons” couldn’t earn everything on their own, but nothing happened. They didn’t have to go far from the butt to the speech.

Barça, not impressed by the difficult personnel moments and the uneven conditions of the digs of the starting warehouse, had a strong start to the duel and a small number of active successes to open the rakhunok with the efforts of Felix and Rafinha. The Blaugrana attack did not spare the flankers a cent as the opponents were deep in defense and never overtook the halfway line with a large number of players.

But it couldn’t be so trivial forever, so the rulers began to get tired for a while, and the Viconavians of Porto came to their senses, so they tried to dictate to them. Sergio Conceição’s team squared their shoulders and after the end of the first half of the first half, attacking football was played even more impressively. And since Taremi did not score the first time due to offside during the hour of serving from the right flank, Pepe Aquino tried on the other side (and in fact on the fourth), after stitching the ball on goal with a rebound on the right flank of the penalty kick.

Even if the “dragons” scored for a moment, they were sure that they would shoot on the flash, because their team’s defense began to shoot without reacting to the abyss of a powerful free kick. I just wanted to start grimacing at the Kermanich players, when Cancelo gained momentum with the left flank of the attack, went to the free kick of two opponents and broke through on the other side, bringing the balance to the scoreboard.

After the great revolution, Barça also killed those who would not have been available much earlier, after which it was deprived of the opportunity to restart the initiative and try to reach the opponents in another half. It came out so sharply that we didn’t notice it, but just 15 seconds into extra time, Felish fired the ball straight into someone else’s goal with a long shot.

The signal will be clearly understood: the rulers will apply pressure until they forget. A pair of Portuguese on the left flank of the attack, as Cancelo was aware of the defense at that moment, they without hesitation attacked everything in their zone that could only be tempted. A little bit was important because of the creation of scoring moments in this case, but they were still visible in sufficient power. And there, where the quantity could still be improved, Felish still scored on the 57th line by passing a free kick from the left flank to Cancel.

And then football became even more of a hot topic. Barça had a small advantage, but not so much that Porto had nothing in attack. The moments in Aquino were very good to restore the balance between equals, Xavi’s team showed no less success and the teams constantly balanced between goals. None of this, however, without going further, even the development of this group never happened.

Finally, Catalan Barcelona will host Antwerp, Belgium, and Porto, Portugal will host Donetsk Shakhtar.
