I'll follow the Prague teams, Sparta against Liverpool and Slavia at Milan. Both heavy underdogs, but you never know. Liverpool will be heavily rotated, lots of injured players and Man City on Sunday.

Liverpool is resting Salah and Van Dijk, but starts everyone else available.

Indeed, much stronger lineup than forecasted and expected. Maybe Szoboszlai missing beside the 2 biggest stars.

Terrible start for Sparta. First Nunez missed a big chance after a mishap in their defence, then a stupid foul in the box and Mac Allister converts the penalty, 0:1 Liverpool.

Thanks, I had difficulty with Liverpool's stream, but I'm watching all three games now. :smile1:

1-0 to a dominant Roma. Through ball and round the keeper.

Sparta are quite dangerous at the moment.

Big save by Kelleher. Got worked hard on three successive corners.

Great response by Sparta after that demoralizing goal. They've created all the chances, but Haraslin and Preciado missed them and Kelleher is in an inspiring form with excellent saves.

Nunez curls in a rocket from outside the box, 0-2 Liverpool! :applause:

Huge goal with the pressure they've been under! :bouncy:

1-0 Qarabag against Leverkusen.

Xabi resting Wirtz, Xhaka, Frimpong, Hofmann, Schick, Hincapie and Hradecky. Still a strong team on the pitch, but you feel (at least against this 'smaller' opponent) that the Bundesliga win is currently the No. 1 goal.

And after missing their chances Sparta shipped another goal. Nunez scored a gorgeous one from about 20 metres, 0:2 Liverpool.

It doesn't seem so so far...
