The Champions League came back with a bang last night.
There were dramatic comebacks, red cards, and even last-minute winners. It had the lot.
We have to start with Liverpool, though, even if it was probably one of the more dull matches in Europe yesterday evening.
The Reds secured qualification for the knockout stages with a game to spare with their seventh win from seven in the group phase.
It was far from straightforward, but goals from Mohamed Salah and Harvey Elliott sent Lille back to France with nothing to show for.
The fact they have won all of their games in the competition this season is just bonkers, isn’t it?
However, they have still to secured top spot because of one of the craziest Champions League comebacks in recent memory from Barcelona.
The Spaniards were 4-2 down away at Benfica with 13 minutes to go, and all hope looked lost.
But then goals from Robert Lewandowski, Eric Garcia, and a 96th-minute winner from Raphinha turned the game around.
I mean, it really was mental.
Elsewhere, Aston Villa made their dream of qualification a little harder for themselves by losing 1-0 away at Monaco, while Borussia Dortmund threw away a one-goal lead at Bologna.
Well, if you’re not I can no longer help you. Just go and watch some highlights instead.
