Barcelona risk crashing out of the Champions League in Group E, if they are beaten by Bayern Munich and Benfica defeat Dynamo Kyiv in today’s encounters. 

The winner of the Atalanta and Villarreal clash will join United in the rounds of 16, the loser of the match is likely to get the Europa spot. However,  Young Boy can sneak into the Europa position if they beat United and Atalanta loses.

Group G is too close to call, as any two of Lille, FC Salzburg, Sevilla, and Wolfsburg can still qualify for the outstanding four spots in UCL; the third best team will get a Europa spot. 

Four Europa spots have also been decided, RB Leipzig, FC Porto, Borussia Dortmund and FC Sheriff, have all booked a spot in the Europa League, after coming third in their respective groups
