Stamford Bridge hosted on Tuesday the most surreal meeting that has been experienced in this Champions League. And that the bar was in the clouds. Ajax came to win 1-4, stayed with nine players and penalties against the same play with 2-4 and ended up heroically resisting to take a point (4-4). The Dutch went from being virtually classified - Valencia was losing to Lille - to finish Tuesday as group third parties, although the point obtained is gold given the circumstances.

Ajax was promised a very happy night, thanks in part to two goals at the English gate, until in the 68th minute the stars lined up against him. Penalty for Chelsea - the second of the night - second yellow to Veltman for committing it and second also to Blind for a previous foul. 3-4 on the scoreboard and the two central Ajax to the street of a tacada.

Only five minutes later, in a corner, James achieved the tie and after two more Azpilicueta marked the fifth - which was his second - but Abraham's hand invalidated him. With almost 20 minutes ahead, Chelsea was not able to score one more goal against nine, Kepa avoided even the fifth of Ajax and had to settle for the tie.

Inter, three points

Liverpool, meanwhile, took a small scare against Genk (2-1). Wiljnaldum advanced the champion, who appeared without Mané and Firmino, but the Belgians managed to tie before the break. Already in the second half, Oxlade-Chamberlain returned the waters to its channel, although those of Klopp no ​​longer managed to increase their advantage.

In the Barcelona group, Borussia Dortmund managed to overcome the 0-2 with which Inter arrived at the break. Two goals of Achraf and one of Brandt allowed the Germans to overcome the duel (3-2) and close the day three points above the Italians.

The day of this Tuesday closed without mathematically classified teams for eighths, although two of them are almost virtual. It will be difficult for Leipzig - who defeated Zenit 0-2 - and Liverpool, both with nine points, are out of the first two places in the remaining two days.
