Outside of the PSG group where everything remains to be done, Atlético de Madrid have a first qualifying ball for the 8th finals of the Champions League if they win at Feyenoord Rotterdam, this Tuesday for the start of the 5th day where FC Barcelona must recover against Porto.

Group E: A chance for Atlético and Lazio

Atlético de Madrid can qualify for the round of 16 if they win in Rotterdam against Feyenoord. The partners of Antoine Griezmann, “unplayable” at the moment by his own admission, after his double against Celtic (6-0), would irremediably distance the Dutch champions. If the “Matelassiers” win in the “bathtub” (the “De Kuip” stadium), Lazio Rome could also take the opportunity to validate their qualification provided they beat the Green and White of Glasgow, who are playing their last chance.

Group G: For first place… and the C3

The main thing is played out in this group, where only first place and the return to the Europa League remain to be awarded. A draw is enough for European champion Manchester City to maintain their lead ahead of RB Leipzig and be assured of top seed status in the draw for the round of 16. Pep Guardiola’s men won 3-1 in Germany in the first leg. The other meeting, Young Boys-Red Star of Belgrade, will ensure its eventual winner of third place and access to the C3 play-offs. In the event of a draw, this ticket will be awarded on the last day (2-2 on the first leg in Serbia).

Group H: Rebound expected from Barça, Shakthar in ambush

Surprised in Hamburg by Shakthar Donetsk (1-0), FC Barcelona must recover at home against FC Porto, who returned to their level with 9 points. Deprived of their new little wonder Gavi, whose season is over, the Catalans are not in great shape. They remain in a draw at Rayo Vallecano (1-1), snatched at the end of the match with an own goal from French defender Florian Lejeune.

Shakthar, which carries the hopes of Ukrainian football, intends to take advantage against Royal Antwerp of the duel between the first two in the group to come back to 9 points and play qualification in the last match, in Porto. The Belgian champions, the worst team in the competition with only defeats and 14 goals conceded, only have a theoretical hope of securing third place.
