Fifth day of Champions League spectacular this Wednesday. With several African internationals who have distinguished themselves. The prize goes to Sadio Mané and Choupo-Moting who swept away Barça.
Bayern dominate (again) Barça
A clash for the gallery that turned out to be a home humiliation for Xavi's men. While Barca was eliminated before kickoff, Bayern Munich was already qualified. The Germans continued their perfect record with a 3-0 victory at the Camp Nou. Sadio Mané opened the score in the 10th minute running pass the Barca defense line to tap in a low shot, before Choupo-Moting, in great shape, scored the second goal of the game (31st). The Bavarians will then manage until the last moments before closing the show with Benjamin Pavard (90+5). Bayern won for the fifth time in as many games this season in the Champions League. On the other hand, FC Barcelona will play again in the European League, like last season.
Bringing home a win 🙌

Another Spanish giant to go is Atletico Madrid. The Colchoneros drew at home (2-2) against Leverkusen. A result synonymous with elimination for the finalists of the Champions League in 2014 and 2016. With 5 small points, they are outdistanced by Club Brugge (10pts) and FC Porto (9pts), already qualified.
Liverpool can thank Salah, Marseille in danger
Liverpool had no room for error in their trip to Amsterdam. The Reds secured a 3-0 win to open the doors to the last 16 of the Champions League, with twelve points. Mohamed Salah opened the scoring in the 42nd minute of play. The Egyptian also delivered an assist to Harvey Elliot for the third goal (51st). Meanwhile, Darwin Nuñez had doubled the score (49th). In the same group, Napoli won for the fifth time by beating Glasgow Rangers 3-0.
On the other hand, things are more complicated for Marseille. The Phocéens lost in Frankfurt (1-2) on Wednesday. With 6 points, they are last. However, they can still hope for a qualification since the leader, Tottenham, has only eight points. Sporting CP and Frankfurt are respectively 2nd and 3rd with seven points.
