Should hopefully all go through to the next round.

City and Bayern looking like the favourites so far, though long way to go.

Slightly encouraging for Belgian football that Brugge competed well for 45 minutes.

Considering the fact Union were desperately lucky to lose to them earlier in the year (Mignolet was MOTM and Union could have been 5-0 up at half time) is encouraging if, which looks likely now, we might actually make it to Europe next year.

City were so much better than PSG last night. Could and should have been 4/5 - 1

Been a lot of talk today about PSG being in a crisis after one result. If this had been a knockout, PSG would have won 3-2 on aggregate and gone through against arguably the best team in the competition, so the writing off is a bit premature considering its very tough to play away to big sides. Although, City were desperately unlucky the first leg, and the result flattered PSG in both ties.

Having said that, Messi is clearly not the player he once was it seems. Whether that's taking time to adapt to his new team-mates, a lose of motivation leaving Barcelona so late, or just a rare patch of form where he's merely good as opposed to ridiculously brilliant..... he doesnt seem his dominating self in the latter third, and seems to have lost a bit of zip. He is approaching 35, so I guess we have to accept his days at the very top of the world game might be behind him.

Or he could just suddenly explode. But he's been quite redundant in games I've watched PSG in this year, save for momentary flashes of brilliance.

I have only watched a couple of PSG games and they did not look anywhere near the quality of some of the British teams or Munich. Just not much happening up front when they did not have the ball. Not sure you can carry 3 players in a team purely for their attacking abilities. But i aint seen enough of them to be fair.

As for Messi, age will catch up with him but i wonder if playing with 2 huge egos in the team probably means the ball goes through him a lot less and thus less chance to influence the game. I wonder if he would be much better with either Firmino and Mane next to him then Neymar and Mbappe. But it feels like other than odd bit of brilliance we wont be seeing the dominant Messi for a while. Maybe next year as i guess the other 2 might be heading to newer pastures and Messi will be the main player again.

Manchester United top their group, but Chelsea finish second in theirs.

Barcelona come third and make a rare appearance in the Europa League!

Three English teams should prevail at least

Ronaldo - Messi in the other.
