Graham Potter's Chelsea is solid

Chelsea carried out the very nice operation of the evening by offering AC Milan to San Siro (0-2).

Well helped by the expulsion of their former player Fikayo Tomori (18th), the Blues scored their two goals in the first half by Jorginho from the penalty spot (21st) and Aubameyang (34th) before managing the second act.

A week after having already beaten Milan at Stamford Bridge (3-0), Graham Potter's men take the lead in Group F after only taking one point before the arrival of the English tactician .

Shakhtar was heroic

The Ukrainian team came close to achieving a feat against Real Madrid (1-1).

She will obviously regret this late equalizer from Antonio Rudiger (90th + 5) but can be very proud of her performance.

Igor Jovicevic's men were carried by a Warsaw stadium won over to their cause and which deployed a magnificent tifo in the colors of Ukraine.

They are 3rd in the group and still in contention for qualification.

Real suffered but qualified after this draw.

Jude Bellingham power 4

The English midfielder (19) confirms outing after outing that he is a nugget of European football.

It was he who equalized against Sevilla (final score 1-1) upon receiving a center from Thomas Meunier (35th), and while Dortmund was in difficulty.

He scored his 4th goal in as many matches this season in the Champions League.

Tanguy Kouassi opened the scoring for Sevilla (18th).

With seven points, the Germans are 2nd.

The Spaniards have just two small points and are tied at the bottom of the standings with Copenhagen.

The draw suits especially… Manchester City which is now officially qualified.

FLOPS

Fikayo Tomori weighed down his team

The young English defender (24 years old), trained at Chelsea, did he have any doubts about the camp to choose this Tuesday evening?

In any case, he helped his former team well by committing the irreparable in the penalty area, synonymous with double penalty with penalty and red card.

Outnumbered, Milan then never managed to worry the Londoners (Chelsea won 0-2).

Celtic no longer have much hope

Yet carried by a fiery atmosphere at Celtic Park, the Scots may have conceded too much defeat this Tuesday evening against RB Leipzig (0-2).

With a small point taken in four games, they point to the last place of group F and see their chances of qualification moving away.

The French attackers did not shine

Neither Olivier Giroud, nor Christopher Nkunku, nor Karim Benzema managed to find the net during this 4th day of the Champions League.

Only Kylian Mbappé scored, from the penalty spot against Benfica (final score 1-1).

Should we be worried about this lack of success less than two months before the World Cup?

Side defenders, Ferland Mendy is at fault on the conceded goal of Real Madrid, Theo Hernandez and Pierre Kalulu lost with Milan against Chelsea.

The only touch of blue sky, Tanguy Kouassi scored his first goal in the colors of Seville.
