At times this Champions is more like a festival of surrealism than the best soccer tournament in the world. After the simultaneous double expulsion of the Ajax centrals on Tuesday, Manchester City ended with goalkeeper Kyle Walker. Ederson retired on the break with discomfort and Bravo, his replacement, was expelled ten minutes from the end. After seeing the scene, Guardiola made it clear and entrusted the mission to Walker, who was on the bench and who entered the field with laughter and wearing a Bravo shirt on.

But the most surreal of all was that the experiment proved a success. Walker was thrown once - the fault that led to the red Bravo - and stopped. In two times, yes. With a goalkeeper side for more than ten minutes, City managed to scratch a point against Atalanta (1-1), in a match where he missed a penalty when he won 0-1. It was far from a good game of Guardiola, who have to give the point for good despite everything after what happened with their goalkeepers.

For the rest, the day closed with the first three teams qualified for the round of 16. Bayern, Juventus and PSG carried out their commitments and guaranteed the ticket for the next phase to two games still from the end of the league phase. That implies that in the groups that go from A to D there are only five tickets left without a definitive owner. City, Atletico, Real Madrid and Tottenham have everything in front to achieve four of them, while Shakhtar and Dinamo of Zagreb will fight for the third, after their tie yesterday in Croatia (3-3).

Bayern (2-0 at Olympiacos) and Tottenham (0-4 at Red Star) beat comfortably, while Juventus and PSG won without bragging. The Italian team miraculously avoided the draw in Moscow (1-2), with a goal from Douglas Costa when the game was dying. Ramsey advanced to those of Sarri to the fourth minute after a direct free of Cristiano, but Miranchuk immediately established a tie. The PSG, meanwhile, served with a goal from Icardi at 20 minutes to win the Bruges in Paris (1-0).
