UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE
LAST 16
CHELSEA 1-1
MESSI MAKES MAGIC
The Blues had subdued Messi, and Willian had struck the
woodwork twice in the first half before a fine low finish from the edge of the
area made it third time lucky for the Brazilian and gave Antonio Conte's side a
deserved lead after 62 minutes.
Barcelona had barely threatened but a misplaced pass from
Andreas Christensen gave Andres Iniesta the opportunity to allow Messi to end
his 730-minute drought against Chelsea with a crisp left-foot drive 15 minutes
from time.
MY
OPINION
That Messi goal and what he can
do with a ball changed the whole dynamic of this game and it means that Chelsea
must score as Barsa will come at them we can be sure about that. The second leg
could be a good match but will depend on who scores first.
BAYERN 5-0 BESIKTAS
MULLER AND
LEWANDOWSKI PUT TIE TO BED
The hosts won their
14th consecutive game after a dominant second half against Besiktas, who had
Domagoj Vida sent off after 16 minutes.
Thomas Muller converted from close range in both halves, and
Kingsley Coman also swept home.
Top-scorer Robert Lewandowski added two more for Bayern as
Besiktas tired.
MY
OPINION
This game was dependant on the
red card as up until that point the game was even and both teams could have won
it. After the sending off Bayer took control of the game and were able to do it
with ease and now look a serious threat for the Champions League itself.
