Today are the last 9 matches in the group stage of the Champions League. After them, all the teams that will continue to the round of 16 will be announced. Undoubtedly, the outcome in Group B is expected with the greatest interest, where all four teams have a chance to qualify for the direct eliminations. Will the Real Madrid trophy record holder be dropped? The Royal Club welcomes Borussia (Monchengladbach) and in case of victory will certainly take one of the first two places. The draw can also work for the `whites`, but only if in the other match Inter prevails over Shakhtar (Donetsk). The Nerazzurri are last in the standings with 5 points and must beat the champion of Ukraine, while at the same time they hope that the match in Spain will not end in a draw.
In the other groups there are also direct clashes for ranking. Atletico Madrid needs a draw in their visit to RB Salzburg to advance to the quarterfinals. If the Austrians win, they will overtake Diego Simeone`s team and take second place, giving the right to participate in the next phase. The winner in the group is the European club champion Bayern (Munich), which will host Lokomotiv (Moscow). The match is important for the `railroaders` because they have minimal chances for third place, but only if the Allianz Arena succeeds.
In Group C, Manchester City has long secured participation in the round of 16, and after a draw with the `citizens` did so. There is intrigue only for the third place, which Olympiacos and Marseille are arguing about. Both teams have 3 points each. Tonight Olympiacos welcomes Porto and Marseille visit Man City.
It will be interesting in group `D`. There, the first place is for Liverpool, which will visit Midtjylland and probably Jurgen Klopp will keep the strength of most of his starters. Bozhidar Kraev`s team will finish last, but will try to achieve a prestigious result according video football goals against Merseyside. In the other match, Ajax and Atalanta face each other. The giants from Amsterdam need a victory to replace the `Bergamas` from second place. With any other result, the Italians will continue. Racist scandal interrupts Champions League match
Tonight, the Group H match between Paris Saint-Germain and Istanbul Basaksehir, which was interrupted due to a racist scandal caused by the fourth referee, will be played. Parisians have already qualified for the direct eliminations, but must win to move RB Leipzig from first place in the group.
