Aim: Inter 4-0 Plzen (Lukaku)
The previous Manchester United, Chelsea and Everton and ahead is again! Quickly after coming off the bench he performs a stunning one-two with Correa and belts a wise end into the underside nook. He’s been out for a few months with a thigh harm – Edin Dzeko, who’s on the subs’ bench, is among the many teammates who’re visibly delighted for his or her pal.
The commentators ask why Chelsea have been incapable of figuring out how one can use Lukaku’s apparent strengths.

Aim: Inter 3-0 Viktoria Plzen (Dzeko 66)
Into the final half an hour at San Siro and Inter now lead 3-0 in opposition to Viktoria Plzen, or Pilsen in case you desire.
I did the tour on the Pilsner Urquell brewery a number of years in the past, which is a stone’s throw from the stadium that has seen some illustrious guests on this 12 months’s competitors: Bayern Munich, Barcelona and Inter.
The tour is nice, too, and leads to the cellars the place you get to attempt some unfiltered beer straight from the barrel. Plzen have to get again there and drown their sorrows. It’s Barcelona that can end third in Group C and head for the Europa League.
Preamble
Who wants what? That’s the query on everybody’s lips. It’s actually the query in my thoughts as I frantically fireplace up Google and head straight for uefa.com’s useful Champions League qualification permutations article.
Tottenham will qualify from Group D ought to they beat Sporting in north London this night, and they’ll win the group ought to Marseille be overwhelmed by Eintracht Frankfurt within the group’s different match.
In Group A, Napoli are already by way of and Liverpool will be part of them in the event that they keep away from defeat at Ajax. Scott Murray could have the most recent from Liverpool’s match proper right here. Rangers might nonetheless earn themselves a spot within the Europa League though a consequence in opposition to Luciano Spalletti’s high-flying Napoli at Stadio Diego Armando Maradona appears to be like an enormous ask.
In Group C, Internazionale are 2-0 up on Viktoria Plzen with about half an hour to go and heading for the final 16. The opposite match in that group, that kicks off at 8pm, is the small matter of Barcelona v already-qualified Bayern Munich. But when Inter shut out this win in opposition to Czech opposition it’s ‘Goodnight Vienna’ for Barça regardless.
In Group B, Membership Brugge are already by way of and Porto look most probably to hitch them, particularly as they at present lead their Belgian opponents 1-0.
