The pearl fixture of this round will see Inter Milan host Barcelona needing a win to qualify to the next round. Antonio Conte’s men have found the going tough in the Group of Death and must now triumph against a Barcelona team who have already secured qualification. The good news for them is that Ernesto Valverde will rotate heavily leaving the door open for the result they need to progress. Should they fail, then Borussia Dortmund (who host already eliminated Slavia Prague) will pounce on the last available knockout round place.

Group H is also finely poised with Chelsea, Valencia and Ajax all tied on 7 points going into the final matchday. Chelsea can secure qualification by beating already eliminated Lille, or with a draw if Ajax can beat Valencia. However, Valencia have shown that they are no easy customers and could make life difficult for the Dutch champions.

Liverpool still have work to do on their away trip to a blistering RB Salzburg outfit who have young striking sensation Erik Haaland in their ranks. Elsewhere in Group C, there is a three way battle between Shakhtar Donetsk, Dinamo Zagreb and Atalanta for the final spot in the knockout round.

Lastly in Group G, Lyon, Zenit St. Petersburg and Benfica can still all qualify or miss out on qualification so there should be action in abundance.
