Dortmund's defending is ridiculous. Only a matter of time before they get caught on the break.

Nothing new bases on the few games I saw of them. Benzema should have had one. Don't like Götze in the team either tbh

2nd or 3rd time he did it too.

Yeah, awful. And then he gets up and has a go at the defender he punched the ball into.

Porto are being played off the park when Leicestershire attack, no idea who to pick up. Should be 2-0 at least.

eagle eye

Great first half performance from Leicester, should be up at least two by now but if they keep doing what they've been doing they are going to win this one handily.

Harry Palmr

I was just looking through the Porto squad - it's a shadow of the one that Villas Boas had not that many years ago.

Mr.Nice Guy

Sevilla lead Lyon thanks to Ben Yedder's goal.

Vicxas

Juve not missing Pogba one bit.

Mr.Nice Guy

Thomas Delaney with a screamer for Copenhagen.

LuckyGent88

Some strike by tommy Delaney for Copenhagen.

Mr.Nice Guy

Sevilla have a penalty to secure the 3 points.

And it's over the bar by Vietto! Awful peno.

Genius of a cross from Ronaldo.

Akinfeev was always touted as the next big thing, but is always prone to do something like that.

Mr.Nice Guy

Chicharito with a goal against Monaco.

Hasn't Akinfeev conceded in every CL game for 10 years or something?
Clever foul by Guiererro, Dortmund are so poor defensively.

Mr.Nice Guy

Sevilla vs Lyon is end to end stuff if you want to focus on a game for the last ten minutes.

Update: Not so much now. Sevilla looking to wind down the clock.

Lyon had a chance for an equaliser near the end there but a poor cross and that's it.

ERG89

Great goal by Schurrle, less so Daniel Alves

Lovely Bloke

Zizou under pressure?

Lovely Bloke

how bad a team are Brugges?

citytillidie

Who was complaining about such teams as FC København being in the champions league

Debil

Clattenburg must have a tattoo of Ramos too.

Mr.Nice Guy

Glik scores for Monaco! Another cracker.

Screamer of a equaliser for Monaco

Just caught it now online! sweet (SetantaGo)

Mr.Nice Guy

Glik has to be one of the best signings of the season. £9m from Torino and he's been very good in defence for Monaco as well as popping up with important goals like that one right there.

Leicester hung on, 6 points from 6, and two clean sheets.
Fuchs did his best to concede a penalty in the end, and Amertey kicked someone in the head!
I think they should forget about the league and just concentrate on the CL now.

I don't get this "forget about the league" stuff??

Ensuring their league position is much more important than CL for a club like Leicester. Its not as if they can afford to rest on their laurels and expect to be grand.
A bad run of results and they could easily find themselves in a struggle in the bottom 6.
Not to mention the likelihood that a lot of these players (we already see it with the likes of Huth) are going to face a burnout period and they won't be as lucky with injuries.

They need to concentrate on every game as being as big as the next, whether its Burnley at home or Porto away. They will coast through their group now, though.

I think it appears already that Leicester will be mid table team this year in the EPL, and I would guess they will not be bad enough to be involved in a relegation battle, so I can see them giving more emphasis to the CL this year, as it will be the last time they will ever be in it.

What do you mean by more emphasis? Dropping their first team players at the weekend, owing to the fact they are playing FC Copenhagen the following week? I doubt Ranieri is naive enough to think that anything less than 100% dedication going into every league and CL match is required in this league. For that reason I will imagine they will finish in top 8. And will emerge from their group. Ifor they were lying midtable and more or less safe in April, they can afford to take their eye off the ball in the league as they ain't going down or don't have chance to get top 4. Like Chelsea in 2012, that's when you rest players in the league.

Teams can't just switch it on and off for different competitions. Ranieri is a stickler for his committed approach to every game. League cup and maybe even FA cup they'll send out second team.

But he is not going to tell Jamie Vardy a's he heads on to the pitch at Brittania or even White Hart Lane to not bother putting in much effort as the league is not our priority.

I can't understand that American Presidential race tie in for the Man City vs Celtic game.

Jesus.brown and zabaleta look like brothers.

I like the City Lemon and Blackberry ice lolly strip.

Mr.Nice Guy

Celtic take the lead.

Stevecw

Nicely worked goal. Bit of planning went into that

Andersonisgod

Excellent reactions from Bravo.

Mr.Nice Guy

Arsenal leading.

Harry Palmr

Should be 2-0 to Celtic what a waste

LuckyGent88

Celtic with clear plans set out for their set pieces anyway. Targeting city's lack of height.

Rogic needed to hit that first time

Fantastic atmosphere. Hats off to the Celtic fans

Mr.Nice Guy

City equalise.

1-1. Some game!

Harry Palmr

Ah well the amusement ends...

LuckyGent88

Good finish but Celtic unlucky the shot fell to him.

Pity after such a great start
