Milan was under pressure that last game on group stage have to fight against Liverpool so win results will be mandatory if want goes to knockout stage but it won't be easy because Porto or Atletico won't let that happen but in my view they have good chance to win especially playing at their home ground and i heard Liverpool will rested some of their main players and playing with their reserved players so this will be good opportunity to Milan to won the game however recently i had check the odds for Milan ML and that quite high at @2.04
Milan position is also not good hernandez has a heavy flu ,while Rafael Leao is also unable to play due to injury last week ,the news you bring up maybe true Liverpool will soften by resting two or three main players to just watching this match

Tomorrow is a very important day for Barcelona. Because they must win against Bayern Munich to guarantee their ticket to the next round. Because Benfica are going to destroy Dinamo Kyiv most probably. And they have no choice rather than winning to have a chance for the second place. Let's say they won, Barcelona have to win to stay in this tournament. But honestly, I don't think that Barcelona can beat Bayern Munich.
Yes, this match is gonna be a big match for Barcelona. Already the team holding the pressure to win will make opportunity for the winning of FC Bayern Munchen. Barcelona have got very low winning probability of 20% whereas Bayern have got 60% which is a big variation. In the past five matches, Bayern have won all the five matches whereas Barcelona have won just two matches. 
not only Ajax qualified to the next round, even Sporting did in case you didn't know, and Ajax are 1st and Sporting 2nd, this match is a friendly match, it means nothing to both of them, I don't know what to expect from it so I would recommend you avoid it, it is hard to predict who is going to win when no one need to, no motivation whatsoever to win.
Money is a great motivation. Every victory in the Champions League brings a lot of money. Both clubs need that money, especially Sporting.
I think the two teams are very balanced, so anyone can win. Although I think Sporting are in better shape at the moment than Ajax.
What is the reason you say Sporting is better? while Ajax have a better record also play at home of course Ajax chance is bigger
Even a draw is the best result for Sporting I don't see Sporting having a chance to win

There are three big games ahead today. These games are:
Milan vs Liverpool
Porto vs Atletico Madrid
Real Madrid vs Inter
Milan vs Liverpool game is very crucial for Milan. Because without looking at the result of the Porto vs Atletico Madrid game, Milan have to win if they really want to continue. And I believe that Milan are strong enough to be able to do this. It will depend on whether Liverpool's rotating their squad and play very focusedly. But my favourite here is Milan. And when it comes to the other game of the group, I'm favoring Atletico Madrid. They are a much better team than Porto in this kind of situations. Atletico Madrid can beat them by one goal in the worst case. And the Real Madrid vs Inter game is going to determine which team is going to end as the leader of the group. As Inter have to win to make it, I don't think that Real Madrid will let them. In the worst case, we could see a draw.

It's hot in group B! Only Liverpool is entering the last game relaxed... but for Milan, Porto, and Atletico it will be a tricky night, second and third place are hanging in the air for all of them! Milan needs a win and Porto to lose or play draw... but I think we can see a surprise in Portugal! A lot of calculations for these three teams, so I will not chase for winners in this group, I played on goals, in both games both teams to score and over 2.5 goals! I expect open games, tonight they need to show how good they are and to advance in the next stage...
Inter is going to Spain without 5 players as I read... both teams are going to the next stage already... who knows who will win, I also expect some draw in the end, so both teams to score looks like a good bet!
Tonight is Champions League night!
Bayern vs Barcelona will be the main event. As an attempt to seal qualification, FC Barcelona will have to face Bayern Munich in the last game of the group. They can make it to the last 16 of the Champions League with a win, but Bayern Munich is likely to beat Barcelona. Aside from that, Barcelona's qualification is in the hands of Benfica as well. There could be any number of complications, but Barcelona still hold the key to their fate.

This will be a completely open game for me because Bayern is already qualified for the next stage of the tournament and Barcelona desperately needs to win this one in order to advance. I think the chances of Barcelona to win this game are not that slim because Bayern might give some players of the usual starting eleven some time to rest because they are already qualified and they also had a very intense match on Saturday against Borussia Dortmund. It will still be hard for Barcelona to win, because Bayern will definitely try to win this game to become more stable in the defense and to grow confidence but Barca definitely has a chance.
not only Ajax qualified to the next round, even Sporting did in case you didn't know, and Ajax are 1st and Sporting 2nd, this match is a friendly match, it means nothing to both of them, I don't know what to expect from it so I would recommend you avoid it, it is hard to predict who is going to win when no one need to, no motivation whatsoever to win.

I think that I'm going to watch the Milan v Liverpool match today. And I'll be supporting Milan as I want them to continue here by ending at the second position. But their job is really hard against Liverpool. We don't even know how much Liverpool will care about this match. If I was their coach, I'd just rotate the squad not to cause my players get tired for no reason.
It is a big day tomorrow for Milan! It is the same for Porto and Atletico Madrid too of course. But I must admit that I'm favoring Milan in this group to advance to the next round. 
They are going to have a very difficult job against Liverpool even though Liverpool have guaranteed their place and the game is in San Siro. Milan have to play extra careful to achieve what they aim. They will have an important missing player in their defense, Kjaer as he's got injured. But they are still very good at attacking and scoring. They just need to focus to be able to win.
Surely it's last day of First round with very interesting matches waiting for us few teams already having spots into second knockout round and now few are going to have their best chance, but they need to go through mission impossible in front of them teams like AC Milan and Barcelona in same boat but with some difference as AC Milan is having home match and Barcelona going to Germany for having their spot into next round. They are going to have a very difficult job against Liverpool even though Liverpool have guaranteed their place and the game is in San Siro. Milan have to play extra careful to achieve what they aim. They will have an important missing player in their defense, Kjaer as he's got injured. But they are still very good at attacking and scoring. They just need to focus to be able to win.With this one more, group G is also very interested with all four teams having chance to qualify lest watch what happen to them now tomorrow and who is going to be into second round and who is going to Europa League for his future matches. For me Benfica, AC Milan, Lille and Sevilla are going to be in next round after tomorrow matches.

Barcelona will have a pretty crucial match later against Bayern Munich, in this match a victory must be won by Barcelona in order to qualify for the next round, even so, Bayern Munich will certainly not allow Barcelona to easily beat them at home, even though this is a crucial match for barcelona however I will not try to bet on a barcelona win.
But these good players don't last forever. And they should have prepared for their departure while looking for new players to take their place. Because they didn't do that, they are now in big trouble.
This is the mistake Koeman made earlier this season. They threw out some great players. They are very weak this season. Take Suarez, for example. Suarez played so well at Atletico that Even Koeman himself was embarrassed. Today xavi has the task of continuing that, improving Barcelona with the squad as it is now. There are great expectations for Xavi from the fans. But I'm a little doubtful because the experience as a coach is still a little bit. In addition xavi's background as a coach playing at an Asian level that I think the quality of football is still inferior to europe.

madrid versus inter milan, the match between the two is only fighting for first place, ac milan versus liferpol, victory is a fixed price for milan, to be able to qualify for the next round, but must depend on the fate of the champion. atm versus porto match,, if porto wins against atm, then we can be sure that Porto has the right to accompany Liferpol to the round of 16...a very difficult match, but my prediction is that Porto will accompany Liferpol to the next round. They are going to have a very difficult job against Liverpool even though Liverpool have guaranteed their place and the game is in San Siro. Milan have to play extra careful to achieve what they aim. They will have an important missing player in their defense, Kjaer as he's got injured. But they are still very good at attacking and scoring. They just need to focus to be able to win.

This is indeed a very crucial match for AC Milan when they host Liverpool at the San Siro stadium considering that they must win in order to keep their chances of reaching the last 16 of the Champions League this season without seeing the match between Portugal and Atletico Madrid, because all three teams still have a chance to win. advance to the next round if when the team wins but AC Milan has a greater chance if they can beat Liverpool and Atletico Madrid's match against Portugal ends in a draw then AC Milan will get 1 ticket to advance to the round of 16 but if FC Porto wins victory over Atletico Madrid will destroy hope for AC Milan even though he beat Liverpool because the only hope for AC Milan is for both teams to draw and AC Milan to win

I hope so Bayern will devastate Barcelona. Today confirmed Fati not will play, good information so Kimmich back!
Fati got injured 4 weeks ago after Barcelona draw versus Celta Vigo, Hamstring recovery is needed about 8 weeks or over, that possible Barcelona still hasn't the best forward for the next match versus Bayern, Aguero, and lord Braithwaite are still didn't recover yet. Xavy must think hard to win the game without players who have to substitution. The only miracle to Barcelona wins in the alliance arena, while Lewandowski is very still on fire.Injury to several Barcelona players, of course it will be very confusing for Xavi in the face of life and death matches in the current champions league, now Depay will automatically become Barcelona mainstay on the front line later, with the current condition of the squad, to be honest I really doubt Barcelona will be able to win when facing Bayern Munich later and maybe even a draw will be very difficult for Barcelona to get.
1. They were hit by the financial crisis.
2. Their great players change clubs one by one.
3. Their performance is inconsistent and this is their worst La Liga season for the last few seasons.
4. Injuries to the players that have not been resolved so far.
Barcelona problems come and go and it is very difficult to change this especially for this season.
I feel they now have to be ready to let go and make a new leaf next season, because this season they are very difficult to come back

They will have an important missing player in their defense, Kjaer as he's got injured. But they are still very good at attacking and scoring. They just need to focus to be able to win.
It is very difficult for AC Milan to beat Liferpol, even though Liferpol can be sure to qualify for the last 16 of the champions league, and become a grub champion, but Liferpol continues to play consistently and plays well, to win tonight's match, Liferpol is determined to wipe out all matches .. They are going to have a very difficult job against Liverpool even though Liverpool have guaranteed their place and the game is in San Siro. Milan have to play extra careful to achieve what they aim. They will have an important missing player in their defense, Kjaer as he's got injured. But they are still very good at attacking and scoring. They just need to focus to be able to win.But still bet on Liverpool is my choice and also over 2.5.
@Strongkored seeing the champions league table I feel that Kloop will rest his main stars and give youngsters a chance, because he can afford to prioritise premier league fixture now. Also AC Milan have been playing very bad football in champions league, hence they’ll need a miracle to win and hope other results go their way.
Injury to several Barcelona players, of course it will be very confusing for Xavi in the face of life and death matches in the current champions league, now Depay will automatically become Barcelona mainstay on the front line later, with the current condition of the squad, to be honest I really doubt Barcelona will be able to win when facing Bayern Munich later and maybe even a draw will be very difficult for Barcelona to get.
You're right, maybe they'll even lose again. Munich are very strong, they also play at the Allianz Arena of course that's an advantage. Xavi certainly knows barcelona players today are not as good as when he became a barcelona player. Of course Xavi has to maximize the players who are there. Maybe the best result for Barcelona is a draw, even I'm not sure barcelona will win.Jump to:
