The Champions League and the non -adulterated drama go hand in hand.
The main competition of Europe rarely does not succeed in summarizing more than enthusiasm and chaos, with the expanded and new format of the season that has continued the pulses continuously at the initial seven weeks of the inaugural league phase.
It is likely that the final round of Wednesday’s accessories will disappoint when European giants fight for their Baga in the last 16th or the Play-Off round. It will be decided a lot and there will be no shortage of narratives.
Here are six things to keep in mind during the last round of league phase matches.
Few would have planned Manchester CityThe struggles 2024/25 and their lower performance have been in a European campaign Torrid. Two wins, two draws and three defeats have left them in a dangerous position, sitting outside the top 24 in the direction of a final meeting with the Brugge Club.
The victory will take its place in the tie, but any other result will be eliminated. Its Belgian opponents, in their contentious element, should be unable to deal with the richness of superstar. But this is not a team in the city we recognize despite the improvements in recent weeks.
Any deployment will cost them their place in the Champions league And see that they do not do the timing stage of the competition for the first time since 2012/13.
Despite securing his place to the next phase, Real Madrid were found in a position similar to that of Manchester City several weeks. A start that began to defend their European crown in danger and could still lose their automatic qualification in the last 16.
However, the victory in a confrontation of the 8th day with French Overper Rupereptions Brest can see that it violates the top eight and Kylian Mbappe could be the manufacturer of differences in Los Blancos against the surprise story of this year’s competition this year’s competition .
The former star of Paris Saint-Germain returns to France exceptionally, having marked eight times in its last five exits, including a hat-trick this weekend. MBAPPE, who has also scored nine goals in ten games past Brest, suffered a 1-0 defeat in Lille in his most recent French adventure and wants to avoid a similar result on Wednesday.
The ranges have already faced Tottenham and Manchester United in Duels All British in Europe League this season, but so far there have been no battles in the Champions League. This changes on Wednesday.
Aston Villa and Celtic, both have achieved at least one play-off site, will block their horns at the West Midlands in England, as the first looks at the end in the top eight, being the first competitive equipment he has played between these two Previous European champions.
It should be a heavy thing in Villa Park as Celtic Face English foes for the first time since 2016/17.
Arne Slot knows everything LiverpoolThe next opponents of the PSV Eindhoven Champions League. They are the side that prevented his feyenoord team from winning the Eredivisie last season accumulating a total of record points.
Slot has only faced heerenveen more occasions than PSV, whom he has fought nine times as a coach. It has a balanced record in these accessories, winning, drawing and losing three duels.
Liverpool has already secured its place directly to the last 16 with seven wins of seven and needs only one point to finish the league phase in the first place.
But PSV, who has not yet guaranteed their place in the knockout rounds, could give them the first defeat of the season’s champions league on the return of the Slot Netherlands?
Barcelona They are the only other team that has guaranteed their position in the last 16, although several teams are also very secure of a first eight, after a really good and controversial victory 5-4 on Benfica last week. . The late Raphinha winner means that they can easily breathe the 8th day of the game and they could even get a higher place if they won and Liverpool loses.
They face a Atalanta side that they have greatly impressed in Series A and continue to fight for a last 16 place, even if they are guaranteed that at least they are in the play-offs. The winners of the Europa League of the last term are the second highest scorers of the first Italian flight and won 18 impressive goals in seven European games.
The high defensive line of Barcelona caused them repeated problems against Benfica, but they have been in the form of attack. In the same way, Atalanta are strong offensively, but occasionally susceptible to the back, which can lead to a chaotic and loaded goal in Catalonia.
Stuttgart vs Paris Saint-Germain The device may not be tuned on Wednesday night, but it is a game that could have seismic consequences. The two parts are currently in the top 24, but they do not have the guarantee of progress, with the winner ensuring their place in the play-offs.
PSG’s victory over Manchester City last weekend put them in a promising position to qualify after a shy campaign, but French giants will not find a trip to Mhparena. Stuttgart has hammer the young people who fight and Slovan Bratislava in their last two and have taken out from Bayer Leverkusen, RB Leipzig and Borussia Dortmund in the Bundesliga this term.
Wednesday’s meeting can be a thriller, as both parties know their work, but it can only be one that advances in the knockout phase.
