On Tuesday, UEFA Champions League matches of the E-H groups took place.
Defending champions, London's "Chelsea" football players, suffered a 3-0 defeat against Turin's "Juventus" away, greatly complicating their situation in the tournament.
In the last round, the "Blues" will try to beat Farum's "Nordsjaelland" team in front of their own spectators and will wait for a victory from Donetsk's "Shakhtar" club to secure a spot in the quarterfinals against Antonio Conte's protégés.
Today, the Ukrainians controversially defeated the "Nordsjaelland" team in Denmark with a score of 5-2, but the guests' performance was overshadowed by unsporting behavior - with the hosts leading 1-0, "wild" goalkeeper Willian tried to pass the ball to the opponents after the game was stopped, but his teammate Luiz Adriano, not understanding the situation, continued the match and scored the equalizing goal.
Several "Shakhtar" players seemed ready to "repay" the "debt" and allow the opponents to score immediately, but others continued the match and fought without demonstrating any dishonorable play.
In Group F, "Valencia" and Munich's "Bayern" players secured a place in the next stage with a 1-1 draw and "Lille's" victory against Borisov's BATE.
"Barcelona" secured the first place in their group by crushing Moscow's "Spartak" 3-0, while the weak "Man Utd" had to admit a 1-0 defeat to Istanbul's "Galatasaray" away.
