Barcelona out Messi and Piquè for now.

I'm sure more top players will be on the bench, what a shame. Dortmund must be happy for this 50m€ potential game and where Inter will play with Barca with 50% of their potential.
Confirmed that Valverde bring 20 man squad for the game in milan , they are :
Ter Stegen, I. Rakitic, Sergio, Todibo, Suárez, Neto, Lenglet, M. Wague, Griezmann, Aleñá, F. De Jong, Vidal, Umtiti, Junior, Iñaki Peña, C. Pérez, Riqui Puig, Ansu Fati, R. Araujo and Morer. Qut through injury are N. Semedo, Arthur, O. Dembélé and Jordi Alba.

Piqué, Messi and S. Roberto left out, confirmed.
 
According to several articles, here's the possible starting lineup for barcelona :

-Neto; -Moussa Wague, -Ronald Araujo, -Samuel Umtiti, -Junior Firpo; -Arturo Vidal, -Sergio Busquets, -Carles Alena; -Carles Perez, -Antoine Griezmann, -Ansu Fati

With this squad they can still hold inter milan draw or even to beat shocking them out.

You can't really missed the good odds on Barcelona to win @5.5 now! It's worth the money! Do it.

I don't think anyone wants to risk the injury of a valuable player in a completely irrelevant game for the team.
The bad news for Zagreb would be that if city field their main team or a team B, it'll still be a team stronger than Zagreb and a team that should be able to beat Zagreb on any champions league night. If you look at the players on city's bench, this are players that are worth millions and even worth more than 3 Zagreb players, so if they get the nod to play, they have to play up to standard.

Cancelo in place of Walker, Mendy in place of Angelino, Gundogan for Rodrigo, Mahrez to replace Bernado Silva, etc, this are changes that could be made, now tell me if this changes would weaken the team(not possible).

Many news articles predict that Inter Milan will win against Barcelona could it happen?
This game is much awaited many people will think history will repeat itself when Inter Milan under the tutelage of Mourinho and against Barcelona win.
So strong predictions are 3-1 - 2-1

Liverpool - Salzburg should be interesting. Salzburg have do or die game, while Liverpool need draw only. We can expect many goals there.
In G group everything is so unpredictable with Benfica - Zenit and Leipzig - Lyon games.
Barcelona out Messi and Piquè for now.

I'm sure more top players will be on the bench, what a shame. Dortmund must be happy for this 50m€ potential game and where Inter will play with Barca with 50% of their potential.
Why Dortmund should be happy? This news that Barca will play without key players is only good for Inter. Let's say that Inter and Borussia will win tomorrow and in this case Inter will go through, because they have advantage against Borussia.

Liverpool are in a bad spot here and they can definitely be knocked out, which will be a consolation for Manchester United fans considering the fact that they have almost won the premier league title. Inter Milan have a huge advantage going in this match as Messi is not playing, and if they yet loose it then they only have themselves to blame for their exit.

Tomorrow is very interesting matchday.
I think that Chelsea have great chance to qualify, playing at home against Lille, they just need a win. While Valencia need to win and wait good result from Chelsea game.
Liverpool - Salzburg should be interesting. Salzburg have do or die game, while Liverpool need draw only. We can expect many goals there.
In G group everything is so unpredictable with Benfica - Zenit and Leipzig - Lyon games.

.... I'm sure Atalanta will qualify for the next round
Why do you think that Atalanta have more chances than Shakhtar, who won 2-1 in the 2nd round? If Shakhtar win against Atlanta, the result of the second match will not matter on the standings.

I think both will fail in the group stage though:
- Inter: draw
I don't see this game ending with a draw. A win is a must for Inter, plus, they'll play against a FC Barcelona without Messi, that alone increases their odds of winnng that game by at least 20% (if it was 60/40 for Barca, now is the other way around for Inter). Even the bookies have Inter as the main favorite now that Messi was confirmed to miss the game vs the italians (Inter to WIN @1.56, Barca to WIN @5.38).

Barcelona fans would be crazy not to take ML at such odds.

Bacelona vs Inter Milan


This is a 40m € match for Inter.
Do we already know if Barca will play with full strength or with full low-value players?

Knowing Barca they will play with the best team possible but who knows.


Inter Milan must be win in this Wednesday game because it is life and death indeed Barcelona is not an easy opponent even the tough team Lionel Messi and his friends.
And Inter Milan must win if they want to qualify and I think Dortmund must win too and this is really tense for Inter and Dortmund.

If they won't be able to win the match ahead, Inter or Dortmund
would be a team that would be a strong competitor for winning the Europa League title. Another Strong team is going to come from the Chelsea group.

Last match of champions league group stage will come tomorrow and here is the match ,

Group E
Red Bull Salzburg vs Liverpool

Napoli vs KRC Genk

Group G
SL Benfica vs Zenit St. Petersburg

Olympique Lyonnais vs RB Leipzig

Group H
Chelsea vs Lille OSC

Ajax vs Valencia

Group F
Borussia Dortmund vs Slavia Praha

Inter vs Barcelona

that is my prediction, what do you think?

Group H
Chelsea will win against Lille OSC and this must really win for Chelsea if they want to qualify for the next round. Score (2-1)

Group F
Borussia Dortmund vs Slavia Prague (3-1)
Dortmund has a great chance to win the match before being able to draw against Barcelona and beat Inter Milan.

Inter v Barcelona (2-1)
I believe Inter Milan will win because this is life and death for Inter Milan at UCL.

If you don't want to watch a bunch of reserves, Group F, G, and H are still open guys, and the situation is not good, especially for Inter and Valencia. Those are definitely an excellent match to watch.

I think both will fail in the group stage though:
- Inter: draw
- Valencia: draw

Valverde said that with Inter his team can use some less relevant players...

This will make Dortmund very happy I guess...

This match Inter-Barca is a game for 40-50m €.

Yeah, maybe Guardiola will play a backup player with very few minutes played. because before facing Dynamo Zagreb, City had to play the Manchester Derby. in this match, the main players will definitely play all out, and when UCL arrives the main player might be rested by Guardiola. They need to prepare for the next match. 3 days after playing at UCL, City will be facing against Arsenal at Emirates Stadium

Common sense tells us that MC is very likely to play with a B team, not just because they secured the top spot, but because they have very important games in the domestic league (and they lose at home 1-2 MU). But I think they are too behind Liverpool (14 PTS), and that this year dream about becoming a champion has almost no chance.

Guardiola says that they will play with a full squad in Zagreb, just because this would be fair to Shakhtar&Atalanta, but I think this is just something that every coach would say in such a situation. I don't think anyone wants to risk the injury of a valuable player in a completely irrelevant game for the team. Considering that Dinamo lost only 0-2 in first game and that they need to win in this game, the motive is certainly on the hosts' side.

Yeah, this match is an important match not only for Zagreb but also for Atalanta and Shaktar Donetsk. but if indeed Guardiola downplayed the main players of Man City and it would be a difficult match to Zagreb. and if that happens I'm sure Atalanta will qualify for the next round

everybody underestimated inter milan in that match , conte prove they are all wrong, sweet winning! although the final match could be a disaster for intermilan to disqualified from the competition, barcelona never be easy opponent for anybody but again when inter milan get underestimated they turn into a beast mode immediately , this season is really different for nerazzurri with conte in charge.

i know everbody also feel upset on the liverpool match against napoli , they are giving away 1 point to napoli easily, almost lost.

so far there only 8 teams has been qualified ,

Barcelona
Manchester city
Bayern munic
RB Leipzig
Juventus
Real madrid
PSG
and Tottenham hotspurs

Do not be too quick to say RB Leipzig will qualify for the last 16 of UCL. in this Group will definitely compete all out because what I know in the first leg of RB Leipzig lost to Lyon at home with a score:
RB Leipzig 0-2 Lyon
Zenit 3-1 Benfica

while in the deciding round on December 11, RB Leipzig will again compete against:
Lyon vs RB Leipzig
Benfica vs. Zenit

If Lyon and Zenit win more than 1-0, then RB Leipzig will Game Over.

This match must be the right concentration for all clubs, because in this final qualifying match many have to defend completely so that the club qualifies for the last 16 because the points they have are still lacking and it depends on this week's victory.

Bacelona vs Inter Milan
Lyon vs RB Leipzig
Ajax vs Valencia

in those 3 matches they will give a good performance.

Nothing is 100% but chances are high for RB Leipzig to qualify. RB Leipzig was expected to win that game with Lyon at Red Bull Arena but luck was not there that time. In the rematch Lyon will have the chance to prove their early win was for real. And this time Lyon will have its home crowd.
