We reached the halfway point of the Champions League group stage with a Wednesday that promises strong emotions after the appetizers on Tuesday. Real Madrid hit the group board and managed to beat Inter at Di Stéfano (3-2) thanks to the initial arreón of the veterans (Benzema and Ramos) and at the end of the novices (Rodrygo and Vinicius). Atleti, meanwhile, was frozen in Moscow (1-1) for the sticks and a sensational Guilherme, despite having advanced on the scoreboard, Giménez through.
Today, it is the turn of Barcelona and Seville. The blaugrana receive a Dynamo Kiev in the box with the objective and the duty of completing the plenary session and putting land in the middle for the second round. While the Hispanics have before them the opportunity to demonstrate, with the visit of Krasnodar, that they are not only a Europa League team and continue to compete for the group leadership with Chelsea. The matches of Juventus, Manchester United or Chelsea complement the other main dish of the day, the Leipzig-PSG among semifinalists from last year.
Most outstanding Champions matches
Barcelona-Dynamo Kiev (9:00 p.m., Movistar Champions League)
The pandemic has wreaked havoc in the ranks of Dinamo (9 coronavirus casualties) and injuries have done the rest (three more casualties) to put the Ukrainians on the limit of suspension. Finally, the game will continue and Barça is obliged to add its third three points from the first round. Koeman will use the Champions balm to rotate before the complicated league march that accompanies him. Tusquets, the new manager in charge, has asked for patience and supports him.
Sevilla-Krasnodar (9:00 p.m., Movistar Champions League)
Lopetegui seeks to leave behind the tran garter belt and for this he intends to use the Champions League ointment. The draw against Chelsea and the victory against Rennes puts him in an unbeatable position to move away tonight's rival and the French team, if Lampard's men pull logic, to six points with only nine more at stake. The Krasnodar arrives with numerous casualties at Pizjuán. Sevilla must sharpen their aim if they do not want to suffer.
RB Leipzig-PSG (9:00 p.m., Movistar Champions League)
Neither Neymar, nor Verrati, nor Icardi … nor Kylian Mbappé. This is how PSG will face their first final of the season against a Leipzig injured after the little hand wedged in Old Trafford last week. Nagelsmann's men will claim revenge, after being deprived of their first European final last year by Tuchel's men in the semifinals (3-0). Moise Kean, Di María and Sarabia will have to sharpen their teeth in the absence of the stars if they don't want the round pass to be complicated.
