- FC Bayern Munich – Barcelona 3-0
Barcelona got under the wheels in Munich. The Catalans, who would have wintered in the Allianz Arena with a victory in the Champions League, documents with 0: 3. Instead of “fighting like animals”, as Barça coach Xavi had announced before the party, the Spaniards abandoned themselves to their fate early on.

They waited in vain for the five-time Champions League winner to stand up. Instead, the Munich team put the lid on in the name of Jamal Musiala (62nd). For the first time since 2000, Barcelona missed the knockout phase of the “premier class”.
- Benfica Lisbon – Dynamo Kiev 2-0
The motto at Benfica before the game was clear: to reach the round of 16 you have to win and Barcelona must not win. And that’s exactly how the Portuguese performed. Wildly determined, with a pull on goal and a healthy dose of creativity. No wonder, they are 2-0 against Dynamo Kiev, who have already been eliminated, after 22 minutes. Then the hosts took their foot off the gas pedal a little, but continued to control what was happening. The win against the Ukrainians was never in danger and gave Benfica a ticket for the round of 16. Haris Seferovic sat on the bench for 90 minutes with the home team.

Group H: St. Petersburg spoils Chelsea’s group win
- Zenit St. Petersburg – Chelsea 3: 3
Up to 94 minutes behind Chelsea in St. Petersburg with 3: 2 up front. The group victory in Pool H was within reach. But then Magomed Osdojew took a volley from the edge of the penalty area and hammered the ball wonderfully into the corner (3: 3). Instead of first place, Thomas Tuchel’s team has to be content with second place. The Russians’ point was not stolen. Before half-time, she exploited the defensive weaknesses of the Londoners and turned the game from 0: 1 to 2: 1. After the break, the “Blues” the cadence, Romelu Lukaku (62nd) and Timo Werner (85th) seemed to be able to straighten the game from Chelsea’s point of view. But they had done the math without Osdoyev’s splendid hit. Zenit will join the Europa League.
- Juventus Turin 1-0 Malmo

In front of their home crowd, the Piedmontese were careful from the start to put the stamp on the game – with success: In the 18th minute, Moise Kean headed the “Bianconeri” after a presentation by Federico Bernardeschi. The guests who had been crowned Swedish champions at the weekend were inferior in all respects. The fact that they did not travel home with a pack was due to the inefficiency of the Turinese. Thanks to the full success, Juve grabbed the group win. For Malmö, the European adventure is over.
