The Barcelonai, s heads bowed during their heavy defeat (3-0) in front of Benfica in the first leg
FC Barcelona (2nd, 6 points) play a decisive match against Benfica (3rd, 4 pts). The Spaniards with two points ahead of the Portuguese, should at all costs win this meeting of group E to get closer to the next round. In the first leg, Benfica inflicted a scathing 3-0 against the Blaugrana .
The match between Villareal, which receives Manchester United, offers a beautiful duel. The Spanish leader (7 pts) can break away in Group F in case of victory over United. The Reds Devils (7 pts) who also have the same number of points, can set foot in the 8th. Atalanta, who remains in 3rd place (5 pts), should not be missed, during his trip to the Youngs Boys (4th, 3 pts), which were eliminated.
Lille should not be missed at home
Chelsea can also qualify well in case of success over Juventus from Turin who make the trip to London (group H). With 9 points on the clock, the Blues will just need one unit. While Juventus with 12 are guaranteed to find themselves at the next stage.
Nothing is done yet in the group G. Lille (2nd, 5 pts), Salzburg (1st, 7 pts), Wolfsburg (3rd, 5 pt) s and Seville (4th, 3 pts) can all qualify. Only, the Sevillans must imperatively beat the Germans of Wolfsburg to stay alive. Just like Lille which should not know a road exit with the reception of Salzburg .
