UA-Football has collected a selection of the most important news for Wednesday 2nd November.
Shakhtar finished the Champions League group stage on a minor note, losing 0: 4. The Pitmen definitely needed to beat RB Leipzig again to enter the playoff round. Instead, the “red bulls” had a sharp and impressive revenge with a goal from Nkunku before half-time, and three more after. In a parallel match, “Real” destroyed “Celtic” (5.1), securing the front line of the quartet.
Benfica surprisingly won Group H thanks to João Mario’s 90 + 2 goal against Maccabi (1: 6). The “PSG” in parallel beat “Juventus” minimally (1: 2). Thus Benfica and PSG achieved identical results on points (14), goal difference (16: 7) and this in total equality in personal matches (1: 1, 1: 1). The Portuguese were assigned the first line of the sixth additional indicator, namely the number of away goals (9: 6). Now Paris are likely to reach the 1/8 finals in Man City, Real Madrid, Bayern or Chelsea.
Milan beat RB Salzburg 4-0 on the final matchday of Group E, securing second place in the group. Thus the Rossoneri will play the Champions League playoff round for the first time in 9 years. In this match, a draw was enough for Stefano Pioli’s teams, but the Milanese play it safe and score 4. The protagonist is Olivier Giroud with two goals and assists. In a parallel match, Chelsea took their revenge on Dynamo Zagreb (2: 1).
Alexander Zinchenko is back in training. Before the match with “Zurich” in the Europa League, the reversed full-back was engaged in an individual program. Recall that the Ukrainian had not played since 1 October, after having reported a recurrence of a calf injury in a derby with Tottenham. Due to an injury, Zinchenko has missed 7 matches in all tournaments.
