Group A
Bayern Munich sealed not only the qualification, but also the first place, as they won 3-1 against Salzburg, while Atlético Madrid drew 0-0 against Lokomotiv Moscow in Spain. Atlético will have to fight it up with Lokomotiv, in particular, for the second place.
Prediction: Atlético second, Lokomotiv third.
Group B
Monchengladbach won in Germany against Shakhtar 4-0 to take a step closer to a surprising qualification. Real Madrid won against Inter in Italy to complicate the Italians’ job to qualify.
Prediction: Real Madrid first, Monchengladbach second, Shakhtar third.
Group C
City sealed their qualification with the fourth win in the group against Olympiakos, while Porto defeated Marseille in France 2-0 to need only one point to ensure the qualification.
Prediction: City first, Porto second, Olympiakos third
Group D
Liverpool complicated things up on themselves as they lost at Anfield 0-2 against Atalanta to give the Italians some hope in qualifying, while Ajax, as predicted, defeated Midtjylland 3-1. As it stands, Liverpool 9, Ajax 7, Atalanta 7, Midtjylland 0
Prediction: Liverpool first, Ajax second, Atalanta third.
Group E
Chelsea & Sevilla guaranteed their qualification to the last 16 after their 2-1 each over Rennes & Krasnodar respectively. The only thing left now is to determine who will end up first and who second and which team will end up in Europa League.
Prediction: Chelsea first, Sevilla second, Krasnodar third.
Group F
Dortmund & Lazio won, 3-0 against Brugge for the Germans, 3-1 over Zenit for the Italians. Now both teams look close to qualifying. The surprise in this group is Zenit, who most likely might fail to qualify even to Europa League. The other remarkable thing is Haaland, who can’t stop scoring. The next big striker? Apparently so.
Prediction: Dortmund first, Lazio second, Brugge third.
Group G
Koeman preferred to keep Messi in Spain and still went back to Barcelona with a 4-0 win, Pirlo and Juve suffered a little against a very defensive Ferencváros but ended up winning 2-1, which was enough to seal the qualification.
Prediction: Barca first, Juve second, Dynamo Kyiv third.
Group H
Manchester United won against the Turkish champions, PSG won against Leipzig, but still this group is complicated. Utd 9 points, PSG 6, Leipzig 6 and Başakşehir 3. Still, all to play for
Prediction: United first, Leipzig second, PSG third.
