Champions League 12/11: Final matches in group stage

Groups A-D Tuesday, Groups E-H Wednesday

Here’s the situation for each group:

GROUP A
Atletico @ Club Brugge, Dortmund @ Monaco

Atletico and Dortmund have already advanced to the knockout stages. Entering the final day, Atletico are in 1st with 12 points and Dortmund in 2nd with 10 points. So there is the possibility they could swap places in the table pending today’s results

GROUP B
Spurs @ Barca, PSV @ Inter

Barca have already advanced and have 1st in the group locked up. Spurs and Inter both have 7 points so there is a lot on the table for these final matches. Spurs lead Inter on head to head away goals so all they need to advance is match Inter’s result (easier said than done with a trip to Camp Nou)


GROUP C
Napoli @ Liverpool, PSG @ Red Star

This group is likely to provide the most drama as nobody has currently qualified for the knockout stages. Current table is:

Napoli 9 points
PSG 8 points
Liverpool 6 points

Napoli travel to Anfield to take on Liverpool while PSG will make the tough trip to play at Red Star. I know this doesn’t cover every scenario but I know that for Liverpool to advance they just need to beat Napoli 1-0, however if Napoli scores a goal then Liverpool would need to win by at least 2. So a 2-1, 3-2, 4-3 win for Liverpool would still eliminate them from what I understand. I am assuming that is all based on PSG getting 3 points at Red Star, but am not 100% if anyone wants to chime in


GROUP D
Porto @ Galatasaray, Lokomotiv Moscow @ Schalke

Major snooze fest. Porto have locked up 1st in the group while Schalke is set to finish 2nd. Since these matches will be played at 11:55 am central time, if you’re looking for a storyline, Galatasaray and Lokomotiv Moscow are still fighting for 3rd to earn a trip to Europa League


*All matches for groups A, B, C will kickoff at 2:00 central time. Barca/Spurs will be on TNT with Liverpool/Napoli on Univision


Let me know if I need to correct anything
