The Red Devils wake up late: the 3-2 of Nagelsmann’s team also qualifies the Parisians. Yellow and black comeback in Russia. And Moukoko becomes the youngest to play in the Champions League: 16 years and 18 days
Last day of the Champions League group stage, matches on Tuesday: Lazio, Leipzig and Psg join the teams that had already qualified for the round of 16 (Barcelona, Juve, Bayern, Chelsea, Seville, Manchester City, Porto, Borussia Dortmund and Liverpool ). Chelsea win group E, Dortmund win group F and Juve win group G. To understand that it will happen in group H it will be necessary to wait for the conclusion of Psg-Istanbul Basaksehir, suspended at fifteen minutes of the first half for the racist sentence addressed by the fourth man to Webo, technical assistant of Basaksehir. The first place is to be defined.
