The first matchday of the 5th round of the 2023-24 Champions League season is over, and the results can be described as a few joys and some sorrows. Barcelona finally reached the round of 16 of the Champions League after beating Porto at home for the first time in two years, and they don't have to go out of the group to play in the Europa League like they did in the previous two seasons. AC Milan lost 3-1 to Borussia Dortmund at home and saw the opponent break through from the group of death, while they had to beat Newcastle in the final round to decide the winner.

This round of Paris at home against Newcastle, which was supposed to be a good chance to qualify, but it was messed up. In the whole game, Grand Paris dominated the game, attacking the Newcastle goal, and the offensive wave after wave rushed to the heart of the Magpies' penalty area. They had 72 per cent possession and 31 shots, more than six times as many as Newcastle, but only seven shots on target, and it was Newcastle who were the first to score.
In the 24th minute, Almiron's long-range shot caused Donnarumma to save, Isak followed up with a follow-up shot, 1-0! Paris will have to win the final round to secure qualification, and it will depend on Dort's face. However, on their home turf, Dort are expected to go all out to win, as they also need to secure first place in the group.
The easiest mentality in this round is undoubtedly Manchester City, because they have already qualified early. However, Manchester City are still going all out to win on their home turf and secure first place in the group. The first goal in this game was RB Leipzig, only 13 minutes in the opening Oponda used a single chance to break through the door guarded by Moreno; in the 35th minute, Opponda burst into the penalty area and shook the defender to calmly push the goal, 2-0! And Manchester City sounded the horn of counterattack in the second half, Foden assisted Haaland to score a goal in the 55th minute, scoring 50 goals of his year! In the 70th minute, Gvardiol assisted Foden to score, 2-2! In the 87th minute, Alvarez scored in front of the goal, 3-2, Manchester City completed the reversal and completely locked the first place in the group, and RB Leipzig, who lost, also locked the second place in the group.
Another high-profile game in this round is Barcelona at home against Porto, the two teams have 9 points before the game, and Barcelona still has the possibility of being out. The first goal was scored by the visiting team Porto, in the 30th minute Pepe scored a supplementary goal, 1-0, but only 2 minutes later Barcelona equalized, Cancelo cut inside on the left side and volleyed into the far corner, 1-1! In the 57th minute, Cancelo assisted Felix to score, 2-1, Barcelona completed the comeback! 12 points in hand Barcelona also advanced to the round of 16.
Atletico Madrid played Feyenoord in this round, Atletico Madrid had 8 points before the game, Feyenoord had 6 points, and there was hope of qualifying. And in this round of Atletico Madrid's away game, Feyenoord will definitely go all out to win. However, Atletico have been too consistent this season and have been in excellent form of late. In the 14th minute, Hetleida accidentally set himself up to make it 1-0, in the 57th minute, Hermoso's pass from the left flew directly into the goal, 2-0, and in the 77th minute, Feyenoord took advantage of a corner kick opportunity to recover a point, but Santiago Jimenez gave another gift in the 81st minute, and Atletico Madrid won 3-1 and retired from the round of 16 in advance.
