GROUP D

OLYMPICOS 0-0 BARSALONA

FRUSTRATING MATCH FOR ALL


Luis Suarez poked one shot wide and Silvio Proto saved a Messi free-kick after he had been brought down on the edge of the area.
Olympiacos came into the game and a Samuel Umtiti and Marc-Andre ter Stegen confused each other in their own area and ended up conceding an unnecessary corner. Barça were missing the presence of the suspended Gerard Pique in the centre of their defence.

MY OPINION

A draw is a good thing away from home but it must have angered Barcelona that they did not score with the4 attacking threat that they have. Olympicos will be very happy with this point as they would never have come out to win.
SPORTING LISBON 1-1 JUVENTOS

HIGUIAN GOAL KEEPS JUVE IN TOUCH


Sporting had opened the scoring with a low shot from inside the area by Brazilian midfielder Bruno Cesar in the 20th after Gelson Martins' strike was parried by Juventus goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon.
Higuain scored for the visitors with a flick shot from inside the area after a perfect pass by Juan Cuadrado in the 79th minute.

MY OPINION

This is why Juventus are the champions of one of the best leagues in the world getting a result where they never should get one. It also shows that Lisbon are in a bit of trouble as they now need to win every Champions League match they play in order to get out of the group

FA CUP LAST 16 4-3-20

FA CUP LAST 16 PORTSMOUTH O-2 ARSENAL SOKRATES GOT SKILLS Arsenal were fortunate to go into the break a goal up, and it came from an unlikely source as Sokratis controlled a volley into the bottom corner from Reiss Nelson's dangerous cross Nelson created the second shortly after the break, taking on his man on the right before delivering for Nketiah to bundle home from close range https://www.skysports.com/football/portsmth-vs-arsenal/report/423680 MY OPINION Arsenal have not had the best of seasons so far so this might be their only way into Europe. A weakened team can do a go0od job here as for Portsmouth they can now concentrate on whether or not they get promoted    CHELSEA 2-0 LIVERPOOL WILLIAM ADDS TO ANFIELD WOES Mere seconds after making a splendid double-save, one of them from a Willian drive from distance, Adrian has a shocker. Trying to play the ball out from the back, Fabinho loses the ball, gifting Willian a shooting opportunity from about 2...

CRICKET WORLD CUP QUALIFER

Image
BIG WIN KEEPS IRELAND IN Ireland kept alive their hopes of reaching the T20 World Cup as they earned a dominant eight-wicket win over Jersey in the Qualifier in Abu Dhabi. Mark Adair (3-10) was the pick of the bowlers, dismissing Harrison Carlyon and Jonty Jenner for ducks, as Jersey could only post 105 in their 20 overs. Fellow seamer David Delany took 2-12 as Ben Stevens top scored with 25. Paul Stirling's unbeaten 58 and Andrew Balbirnie's 33 helped the Irish easily reach their target in 14 overs.
