While the sixth day of the Champions League began this Tuesday, December 10 with victories for Paris Saint-Germain, Real Madrid and Stade Brestois, the time has come for calculations for the teams still in the running, because the big names have on raising the bar to hope to reach the final stages. As a reminder, only the first 24 teams will advance to the rest of the competition, with a bonus for the first eight who will jump directly to the round of 16.
11 points, security
According to UEFA simulations, the average threshold for qualifying would be 7.8 points, making a bar of eight points likely decisive. In the event of a tie, the goal average will be decisive to decide between the teams. From 11 points, we have the virtual assurance of being among the top 24, PSG having seven points, Real Madrid nine, with still their games to play. As for other French clubs, Stade Brestois has 13 units and can therefore even dream of a top 8, while Monaco and Lille, with 10 points, have a good chance of continuing the adventure. In addition to qualification, the final ranking will play a strategic role: the teams ranked between 9th and 16th place will benefit from the advantage of receiving on the return of the intermediate round, while those in the top 8 will receive on the return of the round of 16. The stakes are therefore double, with complex calculations and maximum intensity for these last two days.
