"Tottenham Hotspur suffered their worst home defeat in Europe as Serge Gnabry scored four times in Bayern Munich's 7-2 romp to seize control of Champions League Group B on Tuesday."

"Barcelona were booed off the pitch by their supporters as their patchy form continued with a 0-0 draw at home to Slavia Prague in their Champions League group F game...

At Anfield, meanwhile, European champions Liverpool moved within one step of qualifying for the Champions League knockout stage with a 2-1 win over Belgium's Genk at Anfield on Tuesday."



Elsewhere, Ajax got two red cards in two seconds. Shocked

Champions League roundup: Ajax and Inter crash out after home defeats

https://www.theguardian.com/football/2019/dec/10/champions-league-roundup-ajax-and-inter-crash-out-after-home-defeats

"Last season’s beaten semi-finalists Ajax were the big casualties from the Champions League group stage as the Dutch champions crashed out following their 1-0 defeat at home to Valencia.

Rodrigo scored the game’s only goal in the 24th minute to eliminate Ajax, who were the fairytale story of last season’s competition with their giant-slaying run from the early preliminary rounds to the semi-final. They had needed only to draw their last group game to advance to the last-16 but looked flat and listless in going down to the Spanish side, who ended with 10 men after the sending off of Gabriel Paulista in stoppage time.
...

Elsewhere Borussia Dortmund beat Slavia Prague 2-1 ... to advance to the Champions League knockout stage, leaving Internazionale in third place in Group F.

The win put the Germans, who also had their keeper Roman Buerki to thank, for more than half a dozen sensational saves, on 10 points in second place, three ahead of Inter who lost 2-1 to the group winners Barcelona, who had already qualified. At 17 years and 40 days Ansu Fati became the youngest goalscorer in Champions League history when he found the net with five minutes to play."

"Liverpool and Chelsea completed a sweep of Premier League clubs advancing into the knockout stage of the Champions League on Tuesday, a season after England had two of its representatives square off in the final.

Liverpool toughed out a 2-0 victory at Salzburg to advance as the winner of Group E...

Chelsea secured qualification from Group H on the strength of a 2-1 home victory over Lille.

Manchester City and Tottenham, the other English clubs competing in the Champions League, advanced to the knockout stages last month with a game to spare."

PSG will win. George Weah will carry them to victory, sign a huge deal with Milan and win the World Cup for Liberia.

"The highest-scoring Champions League group stages ever have come to an end with the usual suspects qualifying - but there are some unfamiliar names among the top goalscorers.

Some 308 goals were scored, beating the 2017-18 record of 306."






"Rarely has a Champions League goal machine come from nowhere as much as Haaland this season. The 19-year-old, who plays for unheralded Red Bull Salzburg, scored a remarkable eight goals in the first five Champions League games of his career."


"In a disappointing twist for the neutrals - and perhaps a sign of the times with the bigger leagues making more money than ever - all the teams in the last 16 are from the main five leagues."

Meanwhile in Qatar...

FIFA Club World Cup

Fimino (99 mins) scores! Liverpool 1-0 Flamengo.

Liverpool win the Club World Cup!

Notable quote from second half of extra time:

"Milner is definitely happy wasting time on the right-hand flank, but sadly not very good at it." (Guardian)

From the Guardian's match report:

"Roberto Firmino broke the hearts of his compatriots from Flamengo with the decisive goal in extra-time. The Brazil international had missed two clear chances in normal time but delivered when it counted to give Liverpool victory in the only available competition they had left to win. Runners-up in 1981, 1984 and 2005, Klopp’s team have achieved what no other side in the club’s illustrious history have managed before."

[Nice pass from Henderson to start the winning play.]

^ The UEFA Super Cup is a match between the Champions League winner and Europa League winner of the previous seasons held in late August on an annual basis.

This year it was played between Liverpool (CL winners) and Chelsea (EL winners). Liverpool won the match on penalties.

Aha. Thanks.

Some of these cups sound nice to brag about if you win, but easy to dismiss if you don't.

Sky Sports:

Erling Haaland signs for Borussia Dortmund from Red Bull Salzburg

"Borussia Dortmund have announced the signing of Manchester United target Erling Haaland from Red Bull Salzburg for around €20m (£17m).

Sky Sports News understands United had met Haaland's €20m release clause - but they refused to meet the conditions for the transfer - with the stumbling block believed to be the value of the buy-out clause, should the striker move to another club.

The highly rated 19-year-old now arrives in Germany on a four-and-a-half-year deal and will join the Bundesliga club officially on January 3, ending speculation over a potential move to United, after Haaland reportedly told former boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer he wanted to sign for him this month."



[In the table in the post above, he sits second in goal-scoring from the CL group stage.]
