first Champions League

Turkish champion Beşiktaş will go top of Group B if it follows up a 3-2 away win over Napoli with a home win over the Italian side at its new stadium, where they have won 13 of their past 14 league fixtures. 

Dutch football legend Johan Cruyff passed away at the age of 68 in Barcelona on Thursday, the cause of his death being cancer.

Cruyff, who had been a heavy smoker until he underwent a heart surgery in 1991, was diagnosed with lung cancer in October last year.

Greek champions Olympiacos Piraeus won its first Champions League game in England on Tuesday evening after 12 previous win-less attempts, stunning Arsenal 3-2 in the Champions League Group F matchup.
The Greek side went up twice, with Arsenal tying at 2-2 before Alfred Finnbogason’s 66th-minute tip in proved to be the clincher.
Dinamo Zagreb is Olympiacos’ next opponent.
