Last day of the group stage of the Champions League, two games, four qualified teams. If Bayern received Inter in Munich in Group C, Napoli visited Liverpool in Anfield in Group A -– and all of them, Germans, English and Italians, were already qualified for the round of 16 of the competition.
In Germany, with Julian Nagelsmann even taking the opportunity to leave names like Gnabry, Davies or Musiala on the bench, Bayern Munich continued with the logic it had presented since the start of the Champions League and beat Inter Milan (2-0). A goal by Pavard still in the first part (32′) and another by Choupo-Moting in the second (72′) was enough for the Bavarians to win the sixth victory in six games, conquering all 18 possible points and becoming undisputed first place of the group.
Pavard how are the rules????

Thus, in this Group C, Inter Milan qualified in second position, with 10 points, while Barcelona fell to the Europa League after finishing in third position and ahead of Viktoria Plzen, which is thus out of competition European. Also this Tuesday, in the Czech Republic, the culés scored a kind of last honorable victory when they triumphed in a game with goals from Marcos Alonso, Ferran Torres, Torre and Chory (2-4) — as he no longer had any chance of progressing in the Champions League.
In England, Jürgen Klopp left Fábio Carvalho and Darwin in the bank and Luciano Spalletti also saved, managing the efforts of Mário Rui, Lozano, Simeone or Zieliński. Liverpool beat Napoli with a goal from Salah (85′) and another from Darwin (90+8′) in a match in which the Italians suffered the first defeat of the season and where the German coach, still waiting for the match, had immediately given the best title of all the texts of the European night.
Salah or Darwin????♂️ But could Napoli’s first defeat come????

Asked if the weekend’s Premier League defeat to Leeds had left him without a night’s sleep, the German manager gave one of the typical replies that rarely disappoint. “No no. I’m 55 years old. I get up to go to the bathroom a couple of times at night, that’s what keeps me awake. But yes, this time I had that goal in my head”, shot Klopp.
Now, in Group A, Napoli reached the Champions League round of 16 in first place, with 15 points, with Liverpool ahead for second place, with the same 15 points. Ajax, who on Tuesday beat Rangers in Glasgow with a goal from Francisco Conceição (1-3), falls to the Europa League, while the Scots are eliminated from European competitions.
