The Champions League and inappropriate drama go hand in hand.
The leading competition of Europe rarely fails to provide nothing but excitement and chaos, and this season’s expanded and new new appearance format has constantly set the impulses of the race during the introductory seven weeks of the inaugural league phase.
The last round on Wednesday is unlikely to disappoint while the European giants are fighting for their embroidery in the last 16 or knockout play-offs. There will be a lot of decision and there will be no shortage of narratives.
Here are six things to look out for during the last round of league phase matches.
They would expect a little Manchester CityFighting 2024/25 and their weaker effect passed in a tumultuous European campaign. Two victories, two draws and three defeats left them in a dangerous position, sitting in front of the upper 24, moving to the final encounter with Club Brugge.
The victory will secure their place in the knockout phase, but every other outcome will eliminate them. Their Belgian opponents, in the statement itself, should not be able to deal with the wealth of superstar. But this is not a city team we recognize despite improvements in recent weeks.
Every slipping will cost them a place in Champions League And look at them not to make a knockout phase of competition for the first time since 2012/13.
Despite having now secured their place in the next phase, Real Madrid They were in a similar position as Manchester City a few weeks ago. The beginning of the beginning of the defense of their European crown left them in danger and could still miss the automatic qualification in the last 16.
However, the victory in the conflict with French French, Brest, may see them misdemeanor the top eight, and Kylian Mbappe could be a difference for Los Blancos against the success of the success of this year’s competition.
Former Paris Saint-Germain star returns to France in exceptional form, reaching eight times in the last five trips, including hat-trick over the weekend. Mbappe, who also scored nine goals in ten past games against Brest, suffered a shock 1-0 defeat against Lille at his latest French adventure and will want to avoid a similar outcome on Wednesday.
The Rangers have already faced Tottenham and Manchester United in the Sve-British duels in the Europa League this season, but so far there have been no such battles in the Champions League. That changes on Wednesday.
Aston Villa and Celtic, who have both secured at least a knockout play-off, will lock the horns in West Midlands of England, while the former seeks to end up in the first eight, with this the first competitive match ever played between the two former European champions.
It should be a fierce affair at Villa Park, such as Celtic Face Enemies for the first time since 2016/17.
Arne groove knows all about LiverpoolThe upcoming opponents of the Champions League PSV Eindhoven. They are the side that prevented his Feyenoorda team to win Eredivisie last season by accumulating the total record points.
Slot faced only Heerenveen on several occasions from PSV, with whom he fought nine times as a coach. It has a balanced record in these knots, winning, drawing and loss of three duels.
Liverpool has already secured its place straight until the last 16 with seven wins of seven, and it only takes a point to finish the league phase in the first place.
But can the PSV, who has not yet guaranteed his place in the knockout, give them their first defeat of the Champions League in the season on the slot of the Dutch return?
Barcelona They are the only second team that guaranteed their position in the last 16 – although several teams are also quite safe in the top eight endings – after truly Bonker and controversial victory 5-4 over Benfica last week. The late winner of Raphinhe means that they can easily breathe in Dan 8 and could even secure the first place if the victory and Liverpool lose.
They face the Atalanta side that have been extremely impressed in the series and are still fighting for the last 16 places, even if they are guaranteed that they will at least be in the knockout. The Europa League winners of the last term are the second highest scorers in the Italian top flight and scored impressive 18 goals in seven European games.
The Barcelona high defensive line caused them to be repeated questions against Benfice, but they were in a scintilating attacking form. Similarly, the Atalanta is strongly offensive but occasionally sensitive to the back, which potentially leads to chaotic and target affairs in Catalonia.
Stuttgart vs Paris Saint-Germain There may not be a fixture on Wednesday night, but it’s a match that could have seismic consequences. Both sides are currently sitting in the top 24, but they do not guarantee that they will progress, and the winner secured his place in the play-off.
PSG win over Manchester City last weekend put them in a promising position to qualify after a trembling campaign, but French giants will not find a trip to the MHParena directly. Stuttgart has knocked the fight against young boys and Slovan Bratislava in the last two and removed points from Bayer Leverkusen, RB Leipzig and Borussia Dortmund in the Bundesliga of this term.
The encounter on Wednesday can be a thriller because both sides know their job, but that could only be the one that progresses in the knockout phase.
