By losing to Arsenal this Wednesday, November 29, Lens is eliminated from the Champions League.
A shipwreck. This Wednesday, the RC Lens completely foundered against the Arsenal Gunners on the penultimate day of the group stage of the Champions League. Trailing 5-0 at half-time, the Sang et Or finally lost with a score of 6-0 and are officially eliminated from the race for the knockout stages of the Champions League because at the same time, PSV Eindhoven beat the Sevilla FC and qualified. There is still hope for Lensois to qualify for the Europa League, but a defeat against the Andalusians on the last day and Lensois will only have the championship and the Coupe de France.
By beating Naples 4-2, Real qualified for the round of 16 while Naples will have to wait until the last day to try to secure qualification. In the other match, Braga failed to take advantage of the Italians’ misstep by conceding a draw against Union Berlin.
In Group D, Inter and Benfica separated in a spectacular 3-3 draw as the Portuguese led 3-0 in the first half thanks to a Joao Mario hat-trick. Inter remains leader but will play first place against Real Sociedad who conceded the match 0-0 against the Austrians of Salzburg.
Finally, in Group A, Manchester United find themselves on the brink of collapse after their 3-3 draw against the Turks of Galatasaray. The men of Ten Haag are last in their group with 4 points while Copenhagen held the Germans Bayern Munich, already qualified, to a draw. As a reminder, Dortmund, Lazio and Atlético also qualified on Tuesday evening.
