Champions League Round of Sixteen
Tonight the Champions League round of 16 kicked off with Benfica vs. Dortmund (1-0) and Paris Saint-Germain vs. Barcelona (4-0). Benfica will have to put on a perfect display in Germany, while PSG seems to have wrapped up the tie in the first leg. How can a team that lost 4-0 come back with five without answer?
Benfica (Portugal) 1 Dortmund (Germany) 0
Mitroglou 48
Three goal attempts for Benfica in the first half, against Dortmund's four and in the second, one against an astonishing ten.

PSG (France) 4 Barcelona (Spain) 0
Di Maria 18, 55
Draxler 40
Cavani 72
