Although the points obtained are not very useful at least Bologna has proven that they are still fighting until the end, with the defeat of Borussia Dortmund making their coach, Nuri Sahin, aware that their defence is still very weak and vulnerable to attack, of course this defeat is a shame, Dortmund also lost earlier to Barcelona with a thin score, it is still reasonable we know Barcelona is very strong but the defeat of Bologna is very embarrassing.
It can only take a miracle for Bologna to make it to the playoff stage in the competition. Even if they win the next game, eight points wouldn't be enough to take them there. Maybe they were just playing for pride and they got some good records. Borussia Dortmund just lost a clear chance of fighting for the automatic qualification stage. They will have to settle for playoffs if they can win the next game.


This game was really something else.  Grin  I would never expect such a result just like everybody else. I got even surprised a lot when Benfica captured a 2-goal lead.

However that was an incredible comeback by Barcelona from 2-4 to 5-4. 3 goals in 20 minutes... This is what I call determination. If you are having a bad day defensively then you will focus on scoring more.

But I only have one criticism on this game. I believe there was a clear penalty for Benfica before Barcelona's last goal. I think there was a push after the Benfica player got one-on-one against the goalkeeper.
This match will always be remembered for a very long time. When almost everyone thought the game was over Barcelona came out with an out-of-the-world display. Raphinha is putting up a top-class show and he keeps improving as he gets older. But Barca would have to work on the defense because they might not come back if they played against a good side.
