A time in difficulty in the Champions League, with defeats against LOSC (1-0), AC Milan (1-3) and Liverpool (2-0), Real Madrid, carried by a Kylian Mbappé in large shape , finished the league phase with three successes against Atalanta (2-3), Salzburg (5-1) and Stade Brestois (0-3), Wednesday evening in Guingamp. The Captain of the Blues did not score, leaving it to Rodrygo to register a double against the Finistériens. The Merengues finish at a top 8 point and will therefore compete in the dams of the final phase, but the 11th final place could offer them the most complicated dam as possible!
Friday noon (12 noon, at UEFA headquarters and live on the instance site), the draw for the dams will determine the Real opponent. It will be the 21st or the 22nd, either Celtic or Manchester City! The formation of Pep Guardiola, excluding Top 24 before the last day, had to work against Bruges in order to win (3-1). But by finishing 22nd, the Cityzens are still in great danger in roadblocks (February 11 and 12/February 18 and 19) since the other possible opponent will be Bayern!
A terrible 8th in sight for Real!
Real begs to fall in the face of a much less formidable Celtic formation (by far). In the event of qualification, the Merengues will then have to do with an eighth final there also terrible against Atlético de Madrid of Madrid – for a derby of the capital – or Bayer Leverkusen – of the probable successor of Carlo Ancelotti, Xabi Alonso!
The other part of the craziest painting concerns that of the three French clubs in dams. PSG, finishing 15th, will fall on AS Monaco or Stade Brestois, which occupy the 17th and 18th positions of the final classification. It is the winner of this dam who will challenge one of the first two in the round of 16, namely Liverpool or Barça! LOSC, 7th and qualified directly for the 8th, can face Sporting, Bruges, Atalanta and Dortmund.
