Lemar Bounced a corner, the Italian defence did not hit when clearing and Giménez, with the ready cane, sent the balloon at the end of the meshes. The Athletic deserved the goal by his offensive obstinacy, and at the end duplicated the advantage some minutes afterwards, thanks to Godín.

Olympique Lyon-FC Barcelona 0-0

Tie to at all in the Parc OL, with a FC Barcelona that, after shaking of on the tackled local in the first 15 minutes, knew to carry to perfection the reins and the weight of the party, controlling it to the end.

Liverpool-Bayern 0-0

The group of Jürgen Klopp was not able to take out more than a tie to zero in front of the Bayern of Nico Kovac, that went of less to more and finish dominating to the 'reds' in the second time.
