Who can join Arsenal & Bayern in Champions League knockouts?

The Champions League season is coming to an end.

What each side needs to advance has finally become clear with the current fixture schedule. At least a little bit clearer.

Everyone else has work to do, despite Arsenal’s passing through to the last 16, where Munich, Bayern will join them.

Only a point away from Kairat Almaty would put leaders Arsenal in the lead over Munich, Bayern, who have won all seven of their matches.

With the top two in the draw facing either the 15th and 18th graders or the 16th and 17th graders in terms of seedings for the last 16, it is irrelevant.

To place in the top two, Bayern needs to earn a point against PSV Eindhoven.

The interesting part begins here.

Let’s get to the simple part first. A victory on matchday eight will guarantee a draw in the last-16 for Real Madrid, Liverpool, and Tottenham, both with 15 points and 14 respectively.

Spurs travel to Eintracht Frankfurt in Germany, but Arne Slot’s side travels to Qarabag, who has already been eliminated.

Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk stated to Uefa, “It’s very important as you miss the play-offs, and it helps with the intense program that we’re having.”

“We will have to do it again next week at home. Make sure we’re in the top eight, folks. We’ve put ourselves in a good position, but that’s for the following week.

A win would give Benfica a chance of qualifying for the play-offs, which Joe Mourinho has won.

A group of eight teams, starting with Paris St.Germain in sixth place and 13th place, are awaiting Spurs in the form of Atalanta, which has 13 points.

Newcastle, Chelsea, and Manchester City all need a win in that group, with knowing that goal difference might determine the outcome.

While Chelsea are away to Napoli and City host Galatasaray, Eddie Howe’s men face the difficult task of visiting PSG.

Everyone who has advanced to Qarabag in 18th grade still has a mathematical chance of succeeding.

Only two of the 18 games on Wednesday will feature those teams facing off, despite 16 teams still in contention for the six remaining top-eight spots.

The play-offs are also extremely competitive, with everyone still in the mix, including 32nd place Ajax.

Only the bottom four, Slavia Prague, Villarreal, and Kairat, have been eliminated.

Marseille and Ajax are just three points apart, while Dortmund, who is two points ahead of the French side and still has flimsy hopes of a top-eight finish, are officially a two-point behind.
