What an incredible match at the Bernabeu last night. Real Madrid came back from
a 0-2 loss at halftime to win it 5-2. Vinicius scored a hat trick and Courtois made
several saves which kept Real Madrid in the game.
Tonight, Barça will play against Bayern Munich (9:00 PM CET) and I hope both
teams give us a great show. Lewandowski plays against his old team, and I am sure
he will try to score. Gavi is back after a long term injury although I think he will start
in the bench. Olmo, Lamine, Pedri, Raphinha, in the Spanish side, and Musiala,
Harry Kane and Muller, in the Germans, will be some of the players to watch
tonight. Barça fans still remember the match against Bavarians four years ago,
when the latter won 8-2 against the Catalans.
Also, surprising French side, Brest, receives Bayern Leverkusen to remain at the
top 8 which will qualify them straight to last 16 round. I am not sure whether they
could beat the Germans. It is wise to remind that they played against Salzburg and
Sturm Graz which are weaker than Leverkusen. We will see. This match will be
played at 6:45PM CET, in case you want to follow it.
Finally, Stackers should pay attention to the match between Atalanta and Celtic.
Both teams are situated at the middle of the table with chances to qualify further.
This one will also be played at 6:45 PM CET.
The remaining fixtures are:
- Manchester City vs Sparta Praha
- Leipzig vs Liverpool
- Atletico vs Lille
- Benfica vs Feyenoord
- Salzburg vs Dinamo Zagreb
- Young Boys vs Inter
Enjoy!
Young Boys is quite the name for a pro team.
Quite an interesting name!
Here there is a link explaining it:

Bayern Leverkusen is a team that I really enjoy watching play, with an excellent job from Xabi Alonso.
Perhaps not an easy match today.

Crazy start at Barcelona:
Barça 1 (Raphinha) - Bayern 1 (Kane)
Lewandowski scores for Barça (2-1). Perhaps a fault by Fermin before passing the ball to the polish, though the VAR has not intervened.
Raphinha scores the third: Barça 3 - 1 Bayern.
Barça is a “hurricane “
Half time : Barça 3 - 1 Bayern
Hat trick for Raphinha after a great pass from Lamine Yamal (4-1).
Barça beats Bayern 4-1
