The picture of the first leg matches of the Champions League round of 16 is complete, which in seven days will return with the decisive verdicts to designate the passage of the round for the eight teams that will qualify for the quarters. Inter won in the 6:45 p.m. away match, beating Feyeenord 2-0 thanks to goals from Thuram and Lautaro, putting them in a commanding position despite Zielinski’s missed penalty for a potential 3-0 lead.
The first German derby in the history of European cups smiles on Bayern Munich, which wins in front of its home crowd 3-0 against Bayer Leverkusen. After 9 minutes, Olise takes off down the right and crosses centrally for Kane, who steals time from Mukiele and nets into the corner where Kovar cannot reach. The double came on 51′, with Kimmich crossing from the left, Kovar let the ball slip through his fingers and Musiala deposited into the net. In 28′, newcomer Tapsoba commits a naive hold in the box on Kane and the referee awards the penalty. From the penalty spot the same English center forward converted to make it 3-0. The match, in fact, ends here and the result will not change again.
Psg played the game for eighty-five minutes and deserved the victory, but they had to resoundingly surrender: Slot took off Salah, who was very spent today, and Liverpool, with Elliott’s goal, who slotted in and masterfully electrocuted Donnarumma at his post, won 1-0 in Paris.
Barcelona suffers, stays in 10 early, fights and finally wins a crucial match at home to Benfica. It ended 1-0 thanks to Raphinha’s goal, who took advantage of Antonio Silva’s mistake in 61′ by beating Trubin with a placed shot at the second post. Tuesday, March 11, is the return leg in Barcelona; the Portuguese will be forced to win by two goals to avoid extra time.
