It is article takes into account the Champions League positions after this penultimate day. Positions that may or may not be maintained after the last day of next Wednesday (18 games).
Only Two games, of those 18 on the last day, would have nothing at stake: Sturm Graz-RB Leipzig and Young Boys-Estrella Roja. The rest will have things at stake. A wonder.
Los The first eight, for the moment, are thesein this order: Liverpool, Barcelona, Arsenal, Inter, Atlético, Milan, Atalanta and Bayer Leverkusen. There would be the cut. Of them, only 'Pool' and Barça, whatever they do in the last game, are guaranteed the Top 8. The rest will still have to earn it.
And from there, it seems that would have a difficult route would be Real Madrid who, taking into account their 17th position, have a difficult timelaugh, we insist, if everything stays like this, against Bayern or Celtic, in the 'playoffs'; and, attention!, against Liverpool or a classic against Barcelona in the round of 16. And then the quarterfinals, the semis and the final would be missing. A tremendously rough road.
-For his part, the Barcelona, if it remains where it is now, would wait for one of these four rivals in the round of 16: (Juventus, Celtic, Bayern or Real Madrid)while Atlético, if it continues like this, would avoid the 'playoffs' and would have these four rival options in the round of 16: Benfica, PSG, Feyenoord or Lille, depending on the draw and the winners of the 'playoffs'.
Beyond the Spanish, we would have another very interesting possible duel, such as the clash between PSG and… Lille or Feyenoord, which are more affordable than those of Madrid, for example.
In short, many emotions for a spectacular last day. And some didn't like this new format!
