By Omolagba Oluwayemi
Tuesday 28th of September 2021 is definitely not going to be one of the nights Zaidu Sanusi and his teammates will want to remember as they suffered a heavy defeat in the hands of their visitors from England, BSNSports.com.ng reports.
Liverpool got ahead on the night in the 18th minute through Mohammed Salah and doubled their lead in the death of the first half through Sadio Mane.
With Sanusi taken off in 56th minute, Porto's defense became vulnerable to Liverpool's attack and in its shaky state conceded 3 more goals in the second half although pulled one back to leave the final scores at 5-1.
Messi Finally Scores For PSG
Lionel Messi scored his first Paris Saint-Germain goal on Tuesday evening and there is no better way to do than doing it the way he's being doing it over the years.
Lionel Messi glided forward from the halfway line late on against Manchester City at the Parc des Princes, played a one-two with Paris St-Germain team-mate Kylian Mbappe and left goalkeeper Ederson rooted to the spot with a shot beautifully placed into the top corner.
It was the first club goal of his entire career that had not been scored for Barcelona and sealed a 2-0 victory for the team who signed him primarily to lead them to Champions League glory.
There Is A New Sherif In Town
Sheriff Tiraspol produced one of the great Champions League shocks as the competition's least experienced club upstaged 13-time European champions Real Madrid at the Bernabeu.
Sebastien Thill snatched victory for the debutants with a stunning final-minute strike, sparking scenes of wild celebration from the Moldovan champions.
Jasurbek Yakhshiboev's first-half header had given them the lead before Karim Benzema levelled with a penalty.
But Thill's goal was a worthy way to clinch a historic victory - the Luxembourg midfielder's half-volley reducing the home crowd to silence as it flashed past Thibaut Courtois.
Night of surprises across Europe and ofcourse that is what the UEFA Champions League is known for.
