Champions League: Who needs what to reach knockout stage?

As the Champions League league phase concludes, the scenarios for advancing to the knockout stage are becoming clearer. Arsenal and Bayern Munich are already secured, but most other clubs require points in the final fixtures. For teams like Real Madrid, Liverpool, and Tottenham, a win on the upcoming matchday will guarantee direct entry into the last 16.

However, the competition remains fierce for the remaining spots. Several teams, including Paris Saint-Germain, Newcastle, Chelsea, and Manchester City, are vying for qualification, with their fates potentially resting on goal difference. Astonishingly, only four out of the 32 participating teams have been eliminated, highlighting the intense competition for the available play-off and qualification berths.
