AC Milan and Atalanta pulled out from automatic qualifying places for the 16th Champions League, while Aston Villa and Lille replaced them in the top eight.
Milan started the day in sixth place, but went down 2-1 in Dinamo Zagreb. The 19th minute goal from Martin Baturine put the hosts in front, and the rejection of Yunus Musah for six minutes before the break did things even more difficult for the Rossoner.
Christian Pulisic equalized for eight minutes in the second half just for Mark Pjac to beat him for the home side for an hour.
Atalanta produced a screen against Barcelona, but 2-2 draw was not enough.
Lamine Yamal and Ronald Araujo ran into the side of Hansi Flick with Ederson and Mario Pasalic on the Europa League winners.
Liverpool took first place 📈

Rogers Downs Celtic
Atalanta would hope for a Celtic victory at the Villa Park, but it didn’t have to be like Morgan Rogers Hat-Trick was an inspiration behind the 4-2 home win.
Lille brought an even more pronounced victory, hitting Feyenoord 6-1, and Gernot Trauner scored two goals.
Manchester City got a win they needed to secure the playoffs, hitting 1-0 down at halftime to beat Club Brugge 3-1, thanks to the efforts of Mate Kovacic and Savinh on both sides of his own goal by Joel Ordones.
Club Brugge has done enough earlier in the competition to qualify.
Stuttgart was a video that missed after a 4-1 defeat at home to rejuvenate Paris Saint-Germain, for which Ousman Dembele was scored by a hat-trick.
Liverpool Final Part of the Vrh
Liverpool ended up at the top despite the fact that he lost 3-2 on PSV Eindhoven, Cody Gakpo and Harvey Elliott for the so-changed Liverpool side.
Rodrygo hit twice, and Jude Bellingham once when Real Madrid beat 3-0 on Brest, while Harry Kane was among the shooters while Bayern Munich beat Slovan Bratislava 3-1.
