The Spanish club could therefore be the future obstacle for Fenottes in their quest for the title. But it could also be Bayern Munich or Arsenal, as well as Manchester City or Barcelona.
Barça possible opponent
The last two groups will deliver their verdict this Wednesday, with two shocks to conclude and designate the first. For the moment, advantage to the Munich and Mancunians, who are in the lead. But if the Londoners and Barça succeed by at least two goals, the positions could be reversed.
