The Champions League continued on Wednesday night. Both of Wednesday\u2019s games were pretty tight, as Sevilla and United produced a stalemate and Shakhtar Donetsk defeated Roma in Ukraine. If you missed what happened in Tuesday\u2019s action there is a recap here<\/a>. If you want to know more about Wednesday\u2019s night games read on.<\/p>\n

Sevilla 0-0 Manchester United<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"Manchester United headed into this tie as favourites to progress into the quarter-finals<\/a><\/strong> and they produced a typical Jose Mourinho performance on their travels. The Portuguese boss prefers a more cautious approach in difficult away games. This was a difficult away game. He will argue that the defensive approach was necessary.<\/p>\n

United will be happy with taking a draw back home. However, it could have been so different if it was not for some top class goalkeeping from Red Devils goalkeeper David De Gea.<\/p>\n

Sevilla dominated the first half and De Gea had to pull off a number of brilliant saves to keep his clean sheet. There was more the same in the second period, this time Sevilla forward Pablo Sarabia was guilty of a terrible miss from close-range on 73 minutes. United forward Romelu Lukaku did manage to get the ball into the Sevilla net, only for the Belgian effort to be ruled out a due handball.<\/p>\n

The Red Devils will now feel highly confident of making it through to the last eight. United are unbeaten in 12 Champions League games on home soil and have also kept clean sheets in four of their last five Champions League matches at Old Trafford<\/strong>. The home sides good defensive record may negate the fact that they failed to score an away goal in Andalucia.<\/p>\n

Shakhtar Donetsk 2-1 Roma<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

This tie was a difficult one to call, with the two teams relatively well matched. However, the first tie has offered little clue to who will progress to the next round. Shakhtar may have the lead heading to the eternal city, but Roma have an away goal.<\/p>\n

The visitors struck first in this clash on 41 minutes. Bosnian striker Edin Dzeko put Turkish youngster Cengiz Under through on goal and the 20-year-old fired home his fifth goal in his last four appearances for the Giallorossi. However, the home side hit back on 52 minutes. Alessandro Florenzi missed an Ivan Ordets pass and the ball fell to Facundo Ferreyra, who turned Kostas Manolas before firing pass Allison in the visitor’s goal.<\/p>\n

The home side scored the winning goal on 71 minutes. Dutch midfielder Kevin Strootman fouled Marlos on the edge of the area and Brazilian playmaker Fred curled home a superb free-kick off the underside of the bar past Allison. The reported-Manchester City target will have impressed any onlookers with his superb effort. In stoppage-time, Ferreyra could have given the home side a healthier lead for the second leg, but Allison produced a good save to deny the Argentinian striker.<\/p>\n

The Ukrainian side won the game. However, Roma are favourites to make it through to the last eight with a victory at the Stadio Olimpico on 13th<\/sup> March.<\/p>\n

Are any of these four teams candidates to win the Champions League?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

My name is David Nugent and I am editor-in-chief of LegalGamblingAndTheLaw.com. I have always enjoyed various sports, primarily soccer, as I am a die-hard Everton fan. Over time, I learned more about sports betting and discovered the fascinating online gambling industry. Eventually, I decided to turn this passion of mine into a project, and that\u2019s how this platform came to be. I am excited to share my story with you and talk about this platform that\u2019s a result of over 20 years of experience I have in the industry. My Beginnings My love for sports has always been a big part of my life. It all started with my dad and me playing in the backyard, but I continued to play sports throughout both elementary and high school. At that time, I knew very little about sports betting since it wasn\u2019t legal in Pennsylvania, but I quickly learned that other states have different laws and that sports betting was legalized in some of them. When the time to pick a college came, everyone thought I was going to do something sports-related. However, that wasn\u2019t my plan. Since there are many lawyers in my family, I decided to follow in their footsteps. I studied law at the University of Pennsylvania, and during that time, my passion for sports only grew bigger. I would watch various sporting events with my friends and attend all matches and games that were happening in the area. On one occasion, I decided to go on a road trip to Vegas with my friends, and, needless to say, I fell in love with the bright lights, humongous buildings, and fantastic casinos. That\u2019s when I discovered the whole gambling scene I knew nothing about. Of course, I knew how to play some games, such as poker and blackjack, but I never realized how well-developed this industry actually was. That trip changed my perspective on what I wanted to do with my life. After I graduated, I took some time off and I traveled through the US, exploring various casinos and land-based sportsbooks. I also spent one year in the UK, where my dream of watching Everton play finally came true. There, I realized how advanced the whole gambling industry is and that the legal aspect of it was quite different than in the US. I spent that time writing for various online platforms where I had the opportunity to share my extensive knowledge about sports. When I came back to the US, I was given a chance to write for an international soccer magazine where I covered the Premier League \u2014 which I was crazy about \u2014 Bundesliga, and other international tournaments. After having written hundreds of sports-related articles, I knew what I wanted to do \u2014 create my own platform and share my knowledge with others. How LegalGamblingAndTheLaw.com Came to Life Once I set the goal, I started doing extensive research on the online gambling industry and the laws surrounding it. I wanted to combine my background in law and the passion I have for sports and create a high-quality online platform. While the online gambling industry was flourishing in Europe, the exact opposite was happening in the US. That is, until 2018 when PASPA (Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act) was overturned. After that, every US state was allowed to introduce new laws and provide operators that wanted to offer various online gambling opportunities with licenses. That was the start of the online gambling industry in the US. Since I knew how online gambling worked thanks to the experience I gained when I was in the UK, I was extremely excited to have the opportunity to introduce US players to the best online gambling platforms and show them that online sportsbooks and casinos can offer an immersive gambling experience, just like their land-based counterparts. Why I Do This What attracted me to online gambling was the possibility of placing bets on my favorite teams from the comfort of my home. I wanted to be able to do that using safe platforms and secure payment options to fund my betting account. And that is exactly what I want for my fellow bettors, too. Naturally, I was a bit of a skeptic myself at first when it came to online gambling simply because I knew how unsafe some sites can be. But once I did some research and talked to fellow European experts, I realized that there is a way to find perfectly safe online gambling platforms. Every gambling site you find on this platform has gone through extensive and rigorous testing to ensure its safety and reliability. Additionally, I have studied the laws of each state in the US, as well as of other countries worldwide, to gain a deeper understanding of how online gambling works in different parts of the world. I\u2019d like to note that the online gambling industry has just begun its journey and we are yet to see its significant growth and improvement in the future. It will be my pleasure to witness all of that with you. I Couldn\u2019t Have Done This on My Own Of course, none of this would have been possible if it weren\u2019t for the amazing team of people I gathered for this project.
