Matchday 5 is halfway over and Man City are still perfect
Champions League Matchday 5 began with four more teams clinching places in the knockout stages. Barcelona, Borussia Dortmund, Lazio and Atletico Madrid will all join Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, Inter, Real Sociedad, Manchester City and RB Leipzig in the last 16. Only six spots remain up for grabs but the contenders are beginning to separate. Forced to play their home matches in Germany, Ukrainian side Shakhtar Donetsk have been one of the biggest surprises of Champions League play, and after defeating Royal Antwerp, they've set up an epic clash with Porto for the final spot out of Group H on Dec. 13th.
City engineered a comeback over RB Leipzig, overcoming a two-goal deficit to win Group G, and PSG's late penalty was enough for Newcastle United to no longer control their own destiny in the group stage following a 1-1 draw.
