Group A
United, all or nothing
Undoubtedly, one of the most fascinating groups to be seen in the final day. Manchester United and Erik ten Hag are about to explode because they don’t rely on themselves. They play against an already qualified Bayern but need to win and pray for a draw in Copenhagen-Galatasaray. And, should United draw against Bayern, they will only go into the Europa League if Copenhagen lose and do so by more than two goal difference, thereby tipping the goal difference in their favour. It’s more than complicated.

Group B
Sevilla plays in the Europa League
Sevilla is not having an easy season, but there is no doubt that it will be an important help to continue playing in Europe. At the bottom of group B, on this final day the possibility of continuing to the Europa League is at stake. To do this, they need to beat Lens, with whom they tied in the first leg (1-1) and with whom a draw is worth. Arsenal and PSV have nothing at stake.
c
Group C
Braga lets himself dream
Real Madrid are now the safe leaders of Group C, but the other places are still open. Special attention should be given to Naples-Braga and that is the Portuguese, if they win by two goal differences, will advance to the second round even if they equal the Italians in points. A match that Unión Berlin will focus on, and if they beat Real Madrid and Naples do the same, they will be in the Europa League.
d
Group D
La Real wants to be first
Group D went well. Real Sociedad, who had an impeccable group stage, are playing to top the classification against Inter Milan at the Giuseppe Meazza. A tie ensures this. In addition, the rivalry between Salzburg and Benfica also decides the place for the Europa League. To get through, the Portuguese have to win by 3 goals or more, so they are struggling.
AND
Group E
Atlético also want to get ahead
Like Real Sociedad, all Atlético have to do on this final day is finish as leaders. They also play against Lazio, second place by one point and, therefore, a draw is worth it. In Feyenoord-Celtic nothing is at stake as the Dutch have already secured the Europa League.
F
Group F
PSG can stay in the round of 16
Undoubtedly, the most morbid group. That in death certainly. Only Borussia Dortmund is guaranteed a place in the round of 16, while Paris Saint Germain (7 points), Newcastle United (5 points) and Milan (5 points) are playing for everyone. If Luis Enrique’s team wins, they will go first, but for example a draw might not be worth it because if Newcastle win they have the difference in their side in particular, so the French will go to the Europa League. Not if it was Milan, who they won against. No one will give up.
Mr
Group G
Everyone decided
The smallest group is Mr. Manchester City who are the undisputed leader and Leipzig took second place, also Young Boys are in the Europa League and Red Star is out.
h
Porto or Shaktar will be left out
Porto or Shaktar will be left out
A more life-or-death match than between Porto and Shakhtar in the last play. Tied on 9 points, the tie with the Portuguese team was worth it as they won 3-1 in the first leg, so the Ukrainians will have to go for victory however they can. Barça, who can only lose first place by a carom, will make sure of it by tying Antwerp.
