• Classification: fifth day

It was José Mourinho in vein, pure 'Mou'. His premiere with Tottenham in the Champions League condensed everything the Portuguese coach represents, a complete rainbow of emotions in just 90 minutes. He began in the most absolute ruin, with two goals from Olympiacos in the initial 20 minutes that complicated his life exceedingly and ended up leaving the stadium after a comeback (4-2) with epic dyes that guarantees the classification of the 'spurs' for the round of 16.

He played Russian roulette a Tottenham for an atrocious initial half hour in which El Arabi and Semedo, two old LaLiga acquaintances, placed a 0-2 surprise on the scoreboard. Mourinho, aware that he missed the game, prestige and even credibility, moved token in the 29th minute, introducing Eriksen for Dier, a successful offensive change that allowed Tottenham to regain command of the match.

Two unexpected elements intervened in the 'spur' comeback. Before the break, a flawless failure of Meriah in a clearance allowed Dele Alli to comfortably score the first goal. And five minutes into the second half, a throw-in ended in the goal of the draw, the work of Kane. Mourinho thanked with an affectionate hug the effective work of the ball catcher quickly returning the ball to the field.

0-6 in Belgrade

Olympiacos resisted for 20 more minutes, but ended up succumbing. Aurier, perhaps the weakest link in the team, claimed a great goal in 73 and Kane buckled his double and the final result four minutes later. The current runner-up in Europe lived calmly the final minutes, tasting his ranking for the second round as a group second.

Who will be the first, Bayern, did not find obstacles to continue his full of victories and guarantee that place of privilege. The news last night was not so much that he beat the Red Star (0-6), like the four goals scored in 15 minutes by Robert Lewandowski, the best striker of the season in European football.

Not surprisingly, the Polish is living the best season of his life: he has scored 27 goals in 20 games with Bayern and another four with Poland. After just a third of the season, he is already 12 goals from the best record of his life.

Manchester City, meanwhile, sealed their standings with a more than discreet draw against Shakhtar (1-1) in the Etihad. Gundogan ahead of the Guardiola team, but Solomon got a draw that was going to be final just 13 minutes later. The Ukrainians will play the second place of the group on the last day with Atalanta and Dinamo Zagreb, who last night faced in Bergamo with Italian triumph (2-0).
