Real commanded ownership in the first half, sticking Roma back in their guarded third for expansive pieces of the diversion, yet couldn't discover a route through. 

Roma did look unsafe on the counter-assault on a few events, with Mohamed Salah and Stephan El Sharawy constraining the activity when the Italian side broke free of their own half. 

Real's most obvious opportunity with regards to the main half came when Ronaldo flipped the ball to Marcelo in the Roma penalty range, however the Brazilian's twisting first-time strike went only wide of the far post. 

El Shaarawy almost put Roma ahead before half-time when he gathered a long pass simply past midfield and kept running at Keylor Navas' objective just to be denied ultimately by a withdrawing made by Dani Carvajal.

Roma turned out the more grounded of the two groups after the break, at the end of the day discovering a lot of space on the counter. Radja Nainggolan's exertion from 18 yards was diverted away and El Shaarawy just about made history to the ball as Navas fell off his line to clear away. 

Be that as it may, Real Madrid soon got the high ground as Ronaldo pursued down a through ball from Marcelo, cut back and hit a twisting exertion that beat Wojciech Szczesny in the wake of avoiding off Alessandro Florenzi. 

The objective was Ronaldo's 33rd in the Champions League out and about in the course of the last six seasons. 

A frantic Roma weren't done, however, with Salah's pace keeping on opening up chances to keep running at Real Madrid's objective. The Egyptian almost played substitute Edin Dzeko in with a twisting cross after an once-over the right flank. 

Minutes after the fact, Dzeko laid the ball off to William Vainqueur taking after a goalmouth scramble, yet the midfielder's well-struck volley blasted wide.

Arsenal vs Bracelona ( 0 - 2 )

Arsenal played Barcelona yesterday at the Emirates Stadium where they created a tough fight for Barcelona to face as they were expected to win. Although Arsenal were not playing the best of their game but still they had a great move creation rate as Barcelona defense had to work hard to stop the Arsenal offense. This Champions League match was equally important for Arsenal and Barcelona.

Wenger as usual is a confident coach on and off the pitch. But when it comes to Barcelona, no manager could just sit back and watch the game. And so is the case with Arsene Wenger ( Arsenal Coach). One of the main issues for Wenger was the deadly trio Barcelona have right now who can destroy almost any defense in the present time. The MSN ( Messi, Suarez and Neymar ).

Arsenal also have a great midfield offensive game as they have Alexis Sanchez and Ozil who can create a great problem for Barcelona in the Champions League night .

In the development to the diversion, both troughs were concurred that there was a reasonable most loved in this tie. Arsène Wenger depicted Barça as "super top picks" while Luis Enrique disregarded the chance to considerately decay the tag, conceding that "it was somewhat consistent".

So it ought to be on the off chance that you take a gander at it from an absolutely measurable perspective point. Barcelona are treble holders, unbeaten in 32 amusements and have a front three that have scored 213 objectives since its origination. In any case, this shouldn't imply that the Gunners were dead and covered before a ball had been kicked. The last time this tie was drawn, it was Arsenal who won the primary leg in far-fetched circumstances and enlisted their first ever win against the Catalans.

On an energetic London night, the groups climbed from the passage. Met with a light appear and composition of ARSENAL from the home fans, there was an "European night" buzz around the ground. With a thundering home group behind them, Arsenal got this show on the road.

Wenger's side began splendidly. Hoping to play a high press and use the pace of Alexis Sánchez and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, they were routinely sending players forward in the opening stages. A long ball forward was well brought around Aaron Ramsey and after a perfect one-two with Mesut Özil, the Welshman dealt with a shot at objective. The sliding Javier Mascherano kept it from achieving the objective.

After the introductory opening whirlwind, the diversion stewed and Barça started to hold the ball. A couple goes round the back yet going ahead they were constrained to hitting it long and to the bylines. Neither Lionel Messi nor Neymar could do much with these passes and the Argentine in the end dropped more profound to get the ball to his feet.

Weapons store were agreeable to give Barça a chance to have the ball inside of their own half, dousing the weight before hoping to hit on the break. This counterattacking style was ended up being successful as ex-Barça institute item Héctor Bellerín sprinted up field. Özil pulled the ball for the privilege back yet Bellerín's shot was blocked and the ricochet tumbled to Oxlade-Chamberlain. The winger attempted to respond rapidly and enduring his feet for the shot. With protectors shutting in he did figure out how to escape however it was directly at Marc-André ter Stegen.

The diversion had stewed with both groups not willing to go hard and fast in the apprehension of being defenseless against a counterattack. Mascherano and Gerard Piqué were seeing a lot of the ball yet any semblance of Neymar and Luis Suárez were being stayed silent.

Half time was drawing nearer with Arsenal having the most obvious opportunity with regards to the amusement so far through Oxalde-Chamberlain. In any case, with the fourth authority preparing the sign for stoppage time, Barcelona sprung up. The trident was starting to connect up, Neymar discovered Messi who discovered Suárez however the Uruguayan's endeavor to bolster it back to Messi was removed before it achieved its planned beneficiary.

After several minutes and Suárez was unfortunate not to open the scoring. Sergio Busquets chose a charging Dani Alves on the right flank and the number six crossed well. It looked as though Suárez had done everything right, he'd stretched out beyond his man, climbed well and reached the ball. Be that as it may, the faintest of touches was a lot as he pulled it wide of the far post.

The half time shriek blew with the home side ostensibly the more satisfied of the two. They'd kept Barça to a great extent under control without yielding any obvious possibilities. In any case, the guests could take comfort in the way that Arsenal had effectively done a considerable measure of running with a specific end goal to pressurize and that would definitely yield tired legs in the second period.

Barcelona began the second half with a higher power and inside of five minutes they constrained Petr Čech into his first spare of the diversion. Neymar had got in behind and it required a decent spare from the Arsenal attendant to keep it level. However his partner at the flip side was additionally included. Olivier Giroud's header required a decent spare from the ter Stegen.

The diversion was heading towards an energizing completion with both groups hoping to get an outcome. Armory were stayed outdoors in Barça's half and had pushed a lot of men forward in the hunt of an objective that would give them favorable position to take to the Camp Nou. A Piqué tackle tumbled to the feet of Iniesta and in a glimmer he had offered it to Neymar. An open door was on, Arsenal had pushed men forward and every one of the three of Messi, Suárez and Neymar were breaking.

Neymar, going through the center, discovered Suárez. The Uruguayan conveyed two guards over with him to one side flank before giving it back to Neymar. Presently the other staying two guards were compelled to run over and close down Neymar. The Brazilian kept running into the case before admiring see a free Lionel Messi. Messi got the ball as Čech hastened over the objective line. Messi's touch moved the ball back in the other heading as the guardian slid to ground. The Argentine put the ball over Čech and gave Barça the lead.

Having secured the opening objective, Barça were currently on top. The front three were consolidating to get in behind Arsenal and hoping to twofold the point of preference. Neymar discovered Messi who slid in Suárez however the number nine could just discover the post.

A second objective was coming and in the 83rd moment we saw the mental weariness Barça's restriction typically endure. Per Mertesacker went in his own particular box yet it was messy and permitted Messi to nip in ahead. Having just been on the pitch for a matter of second, Mathieu Flamini slid to achieve the ball yet cut Messi and the ref indicated the spot. Messi ventured up and opened the ball to one side as Čech plunged to one side. It was 2-0 and it was resembling the tie was at that point over before the midway check.

There was simply time for a Čech save from a Neymar header before the last shriek as the guests secured a 2-0 win to take back to the Camp Nou.

This turned out as a great Champions League match for the away side Barcelona, as they are in sure shot advantage to qualify for the next round as they've got two away goals against the Gunners which could prove them profitable for the second leg as they just need to toughen up their defense and nothing else when they face Arsenal in the Camp Nou for the second leg of the Champions League.


Juventus vs Bayern Munich ( 2 - 2 )

this is a piece of the great and the awful of composing something that will be distributed not long after the last shriek blows. I'm staying here as Juventus fell behind 2-0 on a great sort of Arjen Robben objective and was pondering internally, "How the hellfire am I going to clarify this?" Juve were full scale of sorts — and that may be putting it pleasantly. They looked a long way from the group we've seen amid their ascent up the Serie A table. Didn't generally know where to go. 

To put it plainly, Bayern were whoopin' on them. 

And after that I needed to explode each other thought I had in my mind. 

I've never been more upbeat to do only that. 

Max Allegri's squad went from down 2-0 and looking a terrible, awful misfortune at Juventus Stadium right in the face to scoring two objectives in 13 minutes to pull even with Bayern Munich and head into the second leg with a mess of trust. We went from tossing around cuss words out of immaculate dissatisfaction to utilizing those same words as a part of unadulterated ecstasy as Stefano Sturaro went sliding over the turf while watching his shot beat Manuel Neuer and rock the top of the objective. 

Some idea Juventus were dead and accomplished for. Others were likely exactly speechless and were essentially trusting things didn't go from terrible to more awful before the second half found some conclusion. It was an extensive variety of emotions — and none of them were better than average by any means. 

Be that as it may, once Paulo Dybala cut Bayern's lead down the middle, it gave us something we didn't have quite a bit of for the initial 60 or so minutes. It gave us trust. What's more, what do great groups do when they inspire begin to understand that feeling of conviction? They make a move. What's more, Juventus did. Gracious, kid, did they ever. 

This really erratic rebound implies Juve have more than only a shot to progress to the Champions League quarterfinals. We said it wouldn't be simple in the main leg, and that will surely remain constant now that Bayern Munich are making a beeline for Germany for the arrival leg. 

Allegri gained from the mix-ups he made in the primary half both as far as strategies and work force. Juventus had the fortitude to really appear in the second half subsequent to falling behind 2-0. What's more, as the scoreboard appears, they got an attract an amusement where they were altogether outflanked for most of the 90 or so minutes. 

Presently, on the off chance that I can approach one thing of Juventus for the second leg: Please, simply convey that second-half execution to Munich in several weeks and we'll be ready to go.
