The Champions League group stage’s last day is underway, and goals are already pouring in. Borussia Dortmund, in need of a victory to secure a spot in the next round, opened the night with a goal from Lewandowski in the 3rd minute. Despite Diawara’s efforts for Marseille, the game remains in the balance, especially as Payet received a red card, reducing Marseille to 10 players.
Chelsea owes thanks to Demba Ba, who scored an own goal for José Mourinho’s team but ended up benefitting them as it gave them the lead at halftime. The goal was initially awarded to a Romanian against his side but was later confirmed as Demba Ba’s goal.
Meanwhile, at Camp Nou, Barcelona is leading at halftime against Celtic with a score of 3-0. Piqué’s goal marked Barcelona’s 1000th goal in international competition.
