Missed the action from Tuesday's UEFA Champions League games? Have no fear, RT Sport have picked out the best, brightest and ballsiest moments of the last round of games in Groups A to D. Liverpool scraped into the knockout stages of Europe's premier tournament with a 1-0 win over Napoli through, who else, but Mohamed Salah in Group C. The Egyptian King's 34th minute goal was enough to send the Reds through and force one Napoli fan to tears...despite there being 50 minutes left of the game. That reaction was in stark contrast to the arrival of the Neopolitans on Merseyside, who marched through the streets of Liverpool with heartily singing "F*ck you Liverpool", and brandishing flagpoles. With a hint of poetic justice for Liverpool, Red Star were knocked out on the same night. The Reds went through with moneybags Paris Saint-Germain who slaughtered Red Star 4-1 in Belgrade with goals from Kylian Mbappe, Edinson Cavani and Neymar Jr. And those Napoli … [Read more...] about Cheers, tears and f*ck you’s!…UEFA Champions League round up (PHOTOS/VIDEO)

The World Cup winner scored a second-half equalizer but then gave the ball away in stoppage time, a costly mistake that paved the way for Roberto Firmino's winner. Messi once again failed in his bid to lift the World Cup trophy this summer in Russia, where he did not play at his best and Argentina lost to France in the round of 16. But Messi is a different player in the Champions League, a competition he has won four … [Read more...] about UEFA Champions League: Messi scores another hat trick, Mbappe’s mistake sinks PSG
