Group G

FC Porto 1 Besiktas 3

The Portuguese side will be disgusted with their performance in this match.  At the Dragao they were miserable and Besiktas ran away deserved winners in a match that Porto will be wanting back in the later rounds.  This group is wide open.

RB Leipzig 1 Monaco 1

The German powerhouse drew with last seasons darlings in a relatively boring match.  Both these sides could go through.

Group H

Real Madrid 3 Apoel Nicosia 0

Real Madrid were more dominant in this match than the scoreline suggests.  Cristiano Ronaldo scored a double highlighting that Madrid are perhaps even more than ever incredibly reliant on him. Sergio Ramos scored the world’s weakest bicycle kick as well.

Tottenham Hotspur 3 Borussia Dortmund 1

Tottenham broke their Wembley curse and played phenomenal football to outclass Dortmund on every blade of grass the full pitch over.   Harry Kane was sensational.
