Matchday 4: Drowning in Draws

10/12/2022 Matchday 4: Drowning in Draws

Manchester City is 1st Team Through to Knockout Stage Despite Scoreless Outing in Day Full of Draws

Tuesday in the UEFA Champions League was downright uneventful, and I say that as an avid soccer fan. Five draws headlined the day, including a scoreless match dominated by VAR (video assistant referee) between Manchester City and Copenhagen. But for City, a draw was all they needed to punch their ticket to the knockout stage. Only three teams were winners on Tuesday, including Chelsea, RB Leipzig, and a shocking upset from Maccabi Haifa over Juventus. More matches are needed to fill out the Round of 16, but Man. City holds the first ticket.
