Dortmund German club claim record for group stages goals

The Gabonese striker scored the first goal and assisted the second for Marco Reus to put the scores level before throwing a major hint to Madrid over a possible transfer in the future. “To have progressed to the next stage from a group that included Barcelona, Celtic and Borussia Moenchengladbach is fantastic because we are still relatively new to this competition and these are experienced, top clubs”.

Finishing second could yet prove to be a blessing for Real, who will avoid fellow runners-up Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain as well as fellow Spanish clubs Atletico Madrid and Barcelona in Monday’s round-of-16 draw.

They were stuffed 5-0 at Porto but Claudio Ranieri’s men had already done enough prior to win Group G. We’ll try to have nearly immediate coverage of the draw as results come in.

“So it’s hard to think rationally”.

“The most important thing is that the team continues to believe in what it does and how it does it”, said Iniesta.

“What we were looking to do was to do everything to go through as group winners”, Real coach Zinedine Zidane said. It was Messi’s 10th goal in the group stage, one short of Ronaldo’s record of 11 achieved a year ago. Real Madrid opened the scoring in the 28th minute when Karim Benzema was able to sweep in Dani Carvajal’s low cross past Dortmund goalkeeper Roman Weidenfeller. The Croatians finished their campaign having failed to score a single goal. His total remains at 98.

“But to win the Champions League it does not matter if you finish first or second”.

Yacine Brahimi scored twice, including a penalty, while Jesus Corona, Yacine Brahimi and Diogo Jota also netted.

“The six-point advantage doesn’t mean anything”. In its Premier League title defense, Leicester has 13 points from 14 games to sit two points above the relegation zone.

FC Copenhagen were clearly third courtesy of their 2-0 victory over Club Brugge in Belgium and will now compete in Europe’s second tier. “We did great in the second half”, Aubameyang finished.

Table-topping Juventus defeated Dinamo Zagreb 2-0 with Gonzalo Higuain and Daniele Rugani on target.

The hosts double their money with 17 minutes left as Pjanic sets up Daniele Rugani for this header from a corner.

The remaining spots went to Legia Warsaw (3rd) and Sporting CP (4th) after the Polish side edged the Portuguese outfit 1-0.
