On Tuesday evening after the break, the UEFA Champions League returned, with eight matches from the 5th round of Group E-H played. BATE clashed with Leverkusen's Bayer in front of their own fans. The Germans dominated, but played to a 1-1 draw with the Belarusian team. In the 2nd minute, the hosts took the lead, but Bayer showed better play and attacked more. The equalizer was scored by the Germans in the 68th minute, with Admir Mehmedi on the scoresheet, but they couldn't find the winning goal. In the other Group E matches, Barcelona, playing aggressively, left no hope for Roma with a 6-1 victory. Among the hosts, Andriano, Gerard Pique, and two goals each from Luis Suarez and Lionel Messi found the net. Barcelona secured not only a place in the next stage with this victory, but also the top spot in the group. The fight for second place should be intense, as there is a minimal difference between all three teams. In Group F, London's Arsenal fought an important victory in the battle for a place in the quarterfinals. Goals from Mesut Ozil and a brace from Alexis Sanchez allowed the Gunners to celebrate a 3-0 win against Zagreb's Dinamo. With 12 points, Bayern Munich secured the top spot in the group with a 4-0 win against Olympiakos. The Greeks currently hold second place, but the final match will be crucial against Arsenal. In Group G, London's Chelsea crushed Maccabi 4-0 on the road and shares the top spot with Porto. The Portuguese champions suffered a defeat at home against Kiev's Dynamo, losing their sole leadership in the group. In Group H, St. Petersburg's Zenit remains the only team with 15 points and no losses. Gent sits in second place with 7 points, with just one point separating them from Valencia.
