Zach Neeley gets in touch: “I realize all football fans can be guilty of acting like the worst person with his beverage of choice and “keep drinking that garbage” but I’ve never watching a club World Cup game and don’t plan on changing that. I was so excited to see the women’s version has been delayed, just a scheduling clogging, injury increasing boondoggle.”

Remember when the Champions League was the Big Cup? Well, Don Gianni’s making sure the Saudi money is spread around.

Full-time: Feyenoord 0-2 Inter

Good, professional job done by Inter in Rotterdam. Not a good week for the Dutch clubs. They’ll have it all to do next week. Thuram and Martinez got the goals and Inter continue to look imperious in defence.

Feyenoord 0-2 Inter

The Dutch team seem to have lost all momentum, that penalty save merely keeping the score down rather than being a platform to get back into the tie. De Kuip is quiet in the 90th minute.

For Bayern, Coman over Sane is the call made by Vinny Kompany. No Schick or Boniface for Leverkusen as Frimpong and Adli leads the the attack with Wirtz pulling strings.

For Barcelona, Cubarsí partners with Iñigo Martínez at the back. The midfield trio will be De Jong, Olmo, and Pedri. Lewandowski has scored nine times against Benfica in his Champions League career.

Benfica’s main surprise is Dani not starting, with Bruno Lage playing things safe

Zielinski's penalty saved!

Inter would have been in full control but Timon Wellenreuther went low and to the left of the taker. Joy at De Kuip!

Penalty to Inter!

Jeyland Mitchell caught Thuram’s heel – VAR calls over the German ref, and it’s awarded.

Feyenoord 0-2 Inter

One hell of a miss from Feyenoord’s Moder. The ball was slipped into his path, but perhaps too quickly. He snatched at it.

Goal! Feyenoord 0-2 Inter (Martinez, 50)

Lautaro Martinez, the skipper, smashes home after some pinball, calmed down by Bastoni’s touch. Wallop, and Inter are set fair.

Last time Benfica and Barcelona met:

Action from Paris here.

Good evening, you join us with the score in the earlier game Feyenoord 0-1 Inter, with Marcus Thuram grabbing the goal. It was fairly even stuff in Robin van Persie’s first UCL game in charge of his beloved Rotterdam club. It’s half-time at De Kuip.

Preamble

A night of familiar foes awaits. Bayer Leverkusen broke Bayern’s dominance in Germany and if the formerly eternal champions are ahead in this season’s Bundesliga, they still can’t get the better of Bayer, winless in the last six encounters. Xabi Alonso and Florian Wirtz may well be Bayern faces of the future, but for now, Vincent Kompany’s team must find a way, starting at the Allianz.

As for Benfica and Barcelona, it’s a rivalry that extends back to 1961, pre-Eusebio for Benfica, as they denied Barcelona the chance to become European Cup winners like Real Madrid has been the previous five years. Time and tide has regularly rejoined the Iberian giants, not least earlier this season, one of the maddest games in many seasons, a 5-4 win for Barça.

More of the same, let’s hope so? With the latest from Feyenoord v Inter and PSG v Liverpool in the mix, too. Join me.
