The fifth day of the Champions League ended this Wednesday. The opportunity to take stock of the ranking of PSG, Lille, Monaco and Brest but also of certain big names in danger.
The task is getting tougher for Paris Saint-Germain and you just have to look at the ranking to be convinced. At the end of this fifth day of the regular season phase of the Champions League, Luis Enrique's team is no longer in the qualifying zone for the play-off. Indeed, PSG has slipped outside the top 24 and is in 25th place in the ranking after its defeat against Bayern Munich on Tuesday evening (1-0). PSG are two points behind… Real Madrid. Beaten by Liverpool this Wednesday (2-0), the Merengue club is 24th, the last club virtually drafted for the play-off. A chaotic situation for these two European giants, who undoubtedly envy the positions of other French clubs.
Despite its home defeat against Benfica, AS Monaco is still in the top 8 and therefore virtually qualified directly for the round of 16. Brest and Lille are a little lower in the ranking, 11th and 12th, after their matches in Barcelona and Bologna, i.e. in the qualifying zone for the play-off. After their stunning draw at home against Feyenoord, Manchester City are in trouble. Pep Guardiola's team is 17th. Currently, the eight teams directly qualified for the round of 16 are Liverpool, Inter, Barça, Borussia Dortmund, Atalanta Bergamo, Bayer Leverkusen, Arsenal and therefore Monaco. But there are still three days left and everything can still evolve in this new format of the Champions League.
