*No La Liga Team Won *Man City Pegged Back *Newcastle Win Away The goal that won Wednesday night's game for Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) was a portrait of how it had been played: all in, all the way to the end. A move that started deep in PSG's half with Lee Kang-in chased backwards, turning, escaping and going at the same opponents who had been pursuing him, ended in the Barcelona penalty area with Gonçalo Ramos slotting past Wojciech Szczesny.

The self-styled “Special One” is back with Benfica for tonight’s Champions League tie and he repeated another famous old line of his to set the scene. Mourinho anticipates no hostility from Chelsea’s supporters as he seeks to ignite his Benfica tenure, having only joined them 11 days ago after his sacking by Fenerbahce at the end of August. It has not always been the case when he has gone back to Stamford…
