Newcastle United has almost sentenced the preliminary round of the Champions League's 8th finals against Qarabad by scoring 1-6 out of the house,thanks to four goals by Anthony Gordon and two others by Malick Thiaw and Jacob Murphy.
As has been said, the English side Gordon has scored four goals in the first half, and Newcastle has gone to rest with five goals ahead, and his ticket for the next round is almost in his pocket, waiting for the game back.
Likewise, Bodo Glimte has left Interde Milan, the finalist of last year's Champions League, pretty battered by Bodo Glimte, who beat the nerazzurri 3-1 at home on the artificial grass football field.
Next week we will have to get serious at Inter San Siro. The disadvantage of two goals in the Norwegian city north of the Arctic Polar Circle can cost the players of Cristian Chivu dearly, because they have not been able to show the defensive solidity and offensive hunger that they usually have, deformed in three minutes, between 61 and 64, two goals that can be decisive.
Bayer Leverkusen has founda way out of Piraeus in Patrik Schick's opportunism and has won 0-2 to the Olympiacos, the Czech striker in just three minutes (60-63) has put the German team on the path to the Champions League's 8th finals.
Olympiakos has not played a bad game. He has failed to round the plays in the last few meters. He has had stages of superiority but has not scored any goals at key moments. Leverkusen, however, has taken advantage of Schick's effectiveness in the second half to reconnect the classification for the next phase.
On the other hand, Atlético de Madrid has tied against the Bruges after going 0-2 to rest. The Belgian team has gone up two quick goals at the beginning of the second half and has been able to rebalance the match with a third in the last few minutes, after marking on its own doorstep.
Julian Alvarez from the penalty point, Lookman and Ordóñez scored on their own doorstep the goals of Diego Pablo Simeone's team, while Onyedika, Tresoldi and Tzolis scored the goals of Ivan Lekoren to leave everything undecided on the turn.
