Christian Pulisic Puts In An Absolute Shift Against The World’s Best Defense

A fascinating tactical battle between Lucien Favre’s Bundesliga-leading Dortmund and Diego Simeone’s Atletico (currently averaging 0.55 goals conceded per game in LaLiga) was bossed by the home side at the Westfalenstadion on Wednesday, BVB putting four past Europe’s misers while limiting the visitors to only two shots on frame.

Achraf Hakimi registered a hat-trick of assists while the moves were finished by Axel Witsel, Jadon Sancho and Raphael Guerreiro (x2). Marco Reus wasn’t on the scoresheet, but his deployment in the false nine role murdered Atletico’s shape. 

Incredible Ángel Di María Golazo Saves PSG Against Napoli

PSG had already lost to Liverpool in Group C play and another loss would have put the Parisians on the brink of elimination. Neymar and Kylian Mbappé couldn’t get anything to go in, with PSG’s lone score in the opening 90 minutes coming off an unfortunate own goal.

Then the Hirving Lozano goal vs Tottenham fell into the net and the crowd exploded into jubilant celebration.

Mexico international Chucky Lozano scored against the run of play with his first Champions League group-stage goal on Wednesday in Group B action, and it all came down to a poor piece of play from Spurs defender Toby Alderweireld.
