Impressive comeback from 1-0 down, but Liverpool might rue Firmino's missed penalty given their fragile defence.

Spartak Moscow: Uefa charge Russian club after flare fired towards referee

Spartak Moscow have been charged after a flare was fired towards the referee during their Champions League draw away to Slovenian side Maribor on Wednesday.

The object, thrown from the away stand, came close to hitting German official Deniz Aytekin near the halfway line.

There were also clashes before kick-off between visiting fans and police.

Spartak have been charged with 'setting of a firework' and 'throwing of objects' as per article 16 of the Uefa disciplinary regulations.

The case will be dealt with on 21 September.

The game ended 1-1. Both teams are in Group E along with Liverpool and Sevilla.

Dortmund just robbed.....should have been 3-3

Those two goals disallowed were legit i think

Considering how tough their group has been i think these results will be crucial at the end

Dortmund deserved a penalty after that hand from Ramos. But good goal from Bale. Dortmund need to strong defence to counter them.

Coutinho seems to be in good form.

Full Champions League Draw for last 16:

FC Basel vs Manchester City
Chelsea vs Barcelona
Bayern Munich vs Besiktas
FC Porto vs Liverpool
Juventus vs Tottenham Hotspur
Real Madrid vs PSG
Sevilla vs Manchester United
Shakhtar Donetsk vs Roma

Juventus vs Tottenham, Chelsea vs Barcelona and Real Madrid vs PSG are the picks of the draw, can't wait!

 

[hadi123]

It's back! Juventus v Spurs should be great.

 

[Hasan123]

Have to give credit to spurs for coming back. Showed that mentality as Juventus have a good defensive record and are strong at home. I think Spurs will get through now.

 

[Kroll]

The away goals were so crucial, Spurs favourites definitely.
