The final games of the League Phase take place tonight at 21:00 CET (20:00 in UK time), with all games taking place at the same time. There are many different outcomes for the teams: mathematically, only two are confirmed to enter in the top 8 no matter what, and as many as 16 teams could still mathematically enter into the top 8, depending on everyone's results.
However, the people most anxious today are surely the fans of the nine teams dangling between life and death. For most of them, winning would guarantee qualification for the knock-out round, but losing or even a draw could place them in danger.
Among those teams, we find two of the biggest clubs in Europe: Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester City. Both faced off last week, with PSG winning 4-2 being widely superior, but both remain in the grey area where anything could happen...
What does PSG need to do to qualify?
Paris Saint-Germain is 22nd, with 10 points and +2 goal average. They need to finish above 24th place. A victory against Stuttgart or even a draw would guarantee above the 24th spot, although, for PSG, they could afford a defeat if Manchester City or Dinamo Zagreb (both with 8 points) don't win. If PSG loses and Man City wins against Club Brugge and Dinamo Zagreb also wins against AC Milan, they could be eliminated.
What does Manchester City need to do to qualify?
Manchester City is 25th, with 8 points, same as Dinamo Zagreb, but a much greater goal average (+2 vs. -8) would mean that, if both teams win, Man City would be the team that would place higher. A win against Club Brugge would secure their place.
