Zenit St. Petersburg sits in third place in Champions League Group H after Wednesday's 4-0 stomping of Swedish side Malmö, level on points with Chelsea. Zenit opened group play with a 1-0 defeat to the Blues, its first loss of the season, on Sep. 14.
Sergei Semak's team coasted to victory in its second UCL outing of the season, already up 2-0 when Malmö's Anel Ahmedhodžić was sent off for a handball after 53 minutes.
En el universo del Manchester United existe una medición temporal conocida como Fergie Time. Esta nació en la era de Alex Ferguson como entrenador y reflejaba una extraña capacidad de los Red Devils para marcar goles en los largos minutos de descuentos que le concedían al club.
Ferguson dejó hace rato de dirigir al equipo, pero este miércoles acudió a Old Trafford como espectador y presenció como un poco de esa magia volvía en los pies de Cristiano Ronaldo, quien anotó el gol de la victoria ante Villarreal, en el minuto 95.
The Federico Chiesa goal vs Chelsea came only 11 seconds into the second half. The sole goal in Juventus’ 1-0 group stage victory against Chelsea was missed by anyone who didn’t quite get back to their screens in time.

Ronald Koeman, it’s time for your 45-second phone call.
After an embarrassingly limp (zero shots on target) 3-0 defeat to Bayern Munich at the Camp Nou to begin Champions League play, Barcelona played even worse on Wednesday night during a 3-0 defeat to Benfica in Lisbon (one shot on target!).
There are some things that will never get old, no matter how often they happen or how much you hate the team doing it. Two of those things are volleys off set pieces and Cristiano Ronaldo taking his shirt off to celebrate a goal. Both happened on Wednesday at Old Trafford.
It took him 263 minutes — a long drought by his lofty standards, a great goals per game ratio for everyone else — but Lionel Messi got his first goal for Paris Saint-Germain on Tuesday night against Manchester City in the Champions League.
El Sheriff Tiraspol tuvo una de las noches más mágicas de su historia, luego de sorprender al mundo y vencer al Real Madrid -¡de visita!- en la Champions League. La victoria además vino con elementos estéticos innegables y la carga emocional de un gol en el epílogo del partido.
Zurdazo de sobrepique directo a la escuadra y al ego de Florentino Pérez.

If you’re like most of the football world on Tuesday, you were focused on the battle between the world’s two richest sides, PSG and Manchester City. As sad as Bernardo Silva was after his miss in that match, there was no one sadder on Tuesday than Diogo Costa, the Porto goalkeeper who was caught disastrously out of position by Roberto Firmino.
-¡Leo!...
- ¡Messi!
- ¡Leo!...
- ¡Messi!
Las tribunas del Parque de los Príncipes explotaron hoy por primera vez ante el genio de Lionel Messi. Después de 100 minutos en Ligue 1 y 164 en Champions League, el jugador argentino finalmente dejó su magia en las redes, convirtiendo en la victoria por 2-0 sobre el Manchester City.
El debut goleador de Messi con el PSG ocurrió en el minuto 74 de juego y selló la victoria parisina. ¿La confección de la conquista? Lo más Messi que uno puede imaginar.
The experts gave FC Sheriff Tiraspol a 2 percent chance of winning at the Santiago Bernabéu against Real Madrid on Tuesday. The Moldovan club pulled off the most unlikely upset in Champions League history to win 2-1.
If you were to put $100 on Sheriff defeating Real Madrid, you would have won $2,800. The result is mindboggling, and it came in the most dramatic fashion with an 89th minute screamer from Luxembourg international Sebastien Thill.
