Real Madrid, Manchester City, PSG, three Cadors in danger!

Everyone was impatient to discover the new formula of the Champions League and the suspense promised by UEFA leaders. And we would swear without difficulty today that they rub their hands of the scenario which is set up, two days from the end of this new phase of the League, which brings together 36 teams and eliminates 12 definitively. Because while some cadors set at the top of the ranking, such as Liverpool, Barcelona and Arsenal, others are in a hell of a hassle.

Starting with Real Madrid, the title holder, who probably did not expect to encounter so many problems. Casa Blanca is only 20th after 6 days, the fault of 3 defeats recorded against Lille, AC Milan and Liverpool. The qualification is obviously still possible, but you should not miss. Real Madrid’s luck is in the calendar of his meetings. He still has to play Salzburg, one of the weakest teams in the competition at home. Then a trip to Brest on the last day. Uninhibited Brestois certainly, but which should not a priori make the weight.

A PSG-Man City that will be worth gold

Recall that beyond 24th place, all the teams will be eliminated, and will not be donated to the Europa League. Manchester City is 22nd after the 6th day, with 8 points. The defeat against Juventus has proven that the team led by Guardiola was not healed. The winter transfer window will probably be an effective dressing, before the duel that will make all Europe salivate. Because the next Citizens match will be played at Parc des Princes, against PSG, on January 22. A PSG currently 25th in the ranking, in order to take points so as not to risk elimination.

Woe to the loser? They will each have a last match to try to take shelter from a huge disillusionment. For Manchester City, it will be the reception of Bruges, which is currently 19th. For PSG, it will be a trip to Stuttgart, a club which has the same number of points (7) and which will also play its survival. Not easy.
