UEFA Champions League Group E has turned out to be on the most exciting this season. Heading into the final matches of the group, it’s possible all four teams could still be in contention for making the Round of 16, which is a rarity in the history of the tournament.
Bayer Leverkusen will look back at their first group match if they fail to qualify and see that as the one which cost them. Having led 2-0 against CSKA Moscow, a team who usually struggle away from home, the German outfit allowed the Russians back into the game and they levelled things up before half-time. Stunned by what had happened, Leverkusen could not find a winner in the second half. Their 0-0 draw at home with Tottenham Hotspur means Leverkusen have picked up 1 point from their two home games.
Monaco started their campaign with a surprise 2-1 win over Tottenham at Wembley. However, they also struggled in their first home match, being held by Leverkusen and requiring a 94th minute equaliser to get a point. Monaco also scored late in their match in Moscow, as CSKA took the lead in the first half and looked as though they may hold out for an unlikely clean sheet. However, Bernardo Silva popped up with an equaliser with 3 minutes left on the clock.
