Several teams involved in the group stage of the Champions League can obtain their ticket for the round of 16 on Tuesday evening.
Only three days have so far been played in the group stage of the Champions League. And yet, several teams are already very well placed to qualify for the next round. Tuesday evening, in the four of the fourth trick, at this stage of the competition, certain clubs could validate their ticket.
One thing is certain on the French side, Paris Saint-Germain will not be able to breathe straight away, because even if they were to win on the AC Milan pitch (9 p.m.), the French club would not have enough points ahead of Borussia Dortmund and Newcastle. The same goes for RC Lens in Group B, since second in the group behind Arsenal is still in the battle.
City, Leipzig and Barça
On the other hand, Manchester City is well placed in the race for the eighth place. After three victories in three matches, the defending champion only has to beat Young Boys on Tuesday evening at the Etihad Stadium to be calm. Still in this group G, the Mancuniens’ runner-up, RB Leipzig, can also qualify if they beat Red Star Belgrade and City does not lose at the same time against Bern.
Another team with three victories to be able to advance to the next round, FC Barcelona. To do this, the Catalans will have to not lose on the pitch at Shakhtar Donetsk. So much for the three clubs which can already have their sights set on the round of 16 this Tuesday. On Wednesday, other training could follow them.
