The first game was played in St. Jakob-Park. Basel took control of the game from the start. But despite a few chances early in the game, Bjarnason (2), Steffen (6) and Delgado (7), Basel were not able to create many chances against the massive Ludogorets Razgrad defence. Ludogorets waited for counterattacks. Basel's Janko injured himself and was replaced by Doumbia in the 40th minute. Ludogorets went into the lead just before half time, a breakaway goal by Brazilian forward Cafu.

2016–17 FC Basel season, The Campaign, Champions League
The first was a lightning break from Arsenal, a ball over the top found Alexis Sánchez in acres of space in the right hand channel and he deftly whipped in a volleyed cross which the Englishman made no mistake with, burying his header past Vaclík. The second was almost too easy for Arsenal, as they waltzed through the Basel defence again. Walcott strolled up to the edge of the box unchallenged, played a perfect one-two with Alexis Sánchez, who was standing with his back to goal, and clinically dispatched the return ball into the far corner, off the post.


2016–17 FC Basel season, The Campaign, Champions League
The home team were all over the visitors, and their one touch passing was sublime to watch. Walcott and Özil played back to Sánchez, but his shot was incredibly saved by Vaclík. Bellerín had a chance and again Vaclík did brilliantly to parry. It was completely and utterly one sided in North London and Basel looked shell shocked, especially during the first half.

The return game was played two weeks later and Omar Gaber played his Champions League debut for the home team. Saint-Germain had the early goal chances but these were not enough to beat Tomáš Vaclík. After about 20 minutes Basel got into the match better, getting support up for their sole striker Doumbia Seydou. But Paris struck with impeccable timing as half-time approached. A corner was not cleared properly and Meunier latched onto the loose ball, driving a fierce shot at goal through a crowd of bodies.


2016–17 FC Basel season, The Campaign, Champions League
One of those is the unmarked Matuidi who, perhaps unintentionally, flicked the ball into the net (43 minute). In the second half Basel searched for their chances but had no luck. Just as it looked like a goal would not come from anywhere for Basel, it came practically out of nowhere. Substitute Luca Zuffi took aim from almost 40 metres out and suddenly everything had the desired impact.

The substitute way out on the byline tried to pick out Marc Janko in the area with a cross, but instead he drifted a ball in that sailed over goalkeeper Alphonse Areola and into the net (76 minutes). In the 84th minute Serey Dié received a second yellow card and was sent off Despite this, only two minutes later Janko had the best chance for a winner for Basel but he missed the crossed ball.

There is one more game left, but it could have been much better if we had won tonight. We tried everything, I played with all my forwards, but that was not enough, unfortunately."

The situation before this last group stage match was clear, Basel had to obtain more points than Ludogorets Razgrad to qualify for the Europa League knock out stage and Arsenal had to obtain more points than Paris Saint-Germain to win the group.
