On Tuesday evening, after a short break, eight matches of the third round of the E-H groups of the UEFA Champions League were played. The most attention was drawn to the clash in Group H, where Madrid's "Real" hosted London's "Tottenham" players. After a tough battle and miraculous saves by Hugo Lloris, the winner did not emerge - the teams shared a point. From the beginning of the match, the "Real" players dominated possession, putting pressure on their opponents, but it was the visitors from London who first broke through - after a sharp pass from Serge Aurier, Raphael Varane was forced to score an own goal. "Tottenham" took the lead, but it only fueled the attacking instincts of "Real" even more. In the final minutes of the first half, the hosts finally broke through the opponent's defense when Toni Kroos earned a penalty. It was successfully converted in the 43rd minute by Cristiano Ronaldo to equalize the score. The second half saw great chances, but both teams' goalkeepers performed miracles. Keylor Navas showed an impressive reaction when Harry Kane struck, and later Hugo Lloris created his masterpiece, deflecting two impressive shots from C. Ronaldo and Karim Benzema. These equalizer should satisfy both teams, which now have seven points each, as Dortmund's "Borussia" failed to beat APOEL in Cyprus and now lags behind "Tottenham" and "Real" by 6 points. In Group G, an intriguing clash also took place, where "Man City" and "Napoli" faced each other. Pep Guardiola's relentless team put pressure on "Napoli". In the 13th minute, the "City" had a two-goal advantage - Raheem Sterling and Gabriel Jesus scored. In the 38th minute, Dries Mertens had a great opportunity to reduce the deficit, but Ederson saved his penalty kick. In the second half, "Napoli" missed another penalty kick, this time flawlessly converted by another "Napoli" player. However, the remaining time was not enough for "Napoli" to equalize, and they secured their third consecutive victory.
In another match, where "Liverpool" fought against "Maribor", the "Reds" achieved their biggest Champions League victory by playing away. Jurgen Klopp's players defeated their opponents with a score of 7-0. Unexpectedly, "Sevilla" suffered a huge defeat in Russia, losing 1-5 to Moscow's "Spartak". Other matches ended in victories for Donetsk's "Shakhtar", "Besiktas" and "Leipzig". Results: Group E "Maribor" 0 - 7 "Liverpool" 4' [0 - 1] R. Firmino 13' [0 - 2] P. Coutinho 19' [0 - 3] M.
