Only a victory today will suit Shakhtar
On Wednesday, November 2, the final matches of the group stage of the Champions League in four quartets will be held. Six teams from four groups have already guaranteed themselves access to the 1/8 finals of the tournament. We are talking about the main intrigues of the final game day of the group stage of the most prestigious club tournament in Europe.
Group E
Chelsea have already secured a place in the Champions League play-offs and top position in the group. Milan and Salzburg, who play each other in the final round, claim the second place. The Italians are ahead of the Austrians by one point and have a three-point advantage over fourth-placed Dinamo Zagreb. It is enough for Milan not to lose at home to qualify for the Champions League playoffs.
# | Team | And | O |
---|---|---|---|
one | Chelsea | 5 | ten |
2 | Milan | 5 | 7 |
3 | RB Salzburg | 5 | 6 |
four | Dynamo Z | 5 | four |
Dynamo Zagreb, who have already lost their chances to compete for a place in the Champions League playoffs, need to rely on two factors to qualify for the Europa League: their victory in the away match against Chelsea and the loss of Salzburg to Milan.
Group F
In the Shakhtar quartet, the situation is approximately the same as in Group E, with the only difference being that Real Madrid, which won a ticket to the Champions League playoffs, has not yet guaranteed itself the first place in the group. To finish first, Real need to play Celtic, who have already lost all chances for the Eurospring, no worse than Leipzig, whom Creamy are ahead by one point, will play Shakhtar.
# | Team | And | O |
---|---|---|---|
one | RealMadrid | 5 | ten |
2 | RB Leipzig | 5 | 9 |
3 | Miner | 5 | 6 |
four | Celtic | 5 | 2 |
As for the second ticket to the playoffs from the quartet, Shakhtar and Leipzig will play it in a head-to-head match. Only a victory will suit the Miners, and a draw will be enough for the Bulls.
Group G
There is no intrigue in this group. Regardless of the results of the last round, Manchester City enter the Champions League playoffs from the first place, Borussia – from the second. Sevilla will play in the playoffs of the Europa League in the spring, Copenhagen says goodbye to European competition.
# | Team | And | O |
---|---|---|---|
one | Manchester city | 5 | eleven |
2 | Borussia D | 5 | eight |
3 | Seville | 5 | 5 |
four | Copenhagen | 5 | 2 |
Group H
In this quartet, the owners of two tickets to the 1/8 finals of the Champions League are already known – these are PSG and Benfica. Pass to the playoffs of the Europa League in absentia confrontation will play Juventus and Maccabi.
# | Team | And | O |
---|---|---|---|
one | PSG | 5 | eleven |
2 | Benfica | 5 | eleven |
3 | Juventus | 5 | 3 |
