Therefore, in the last round of the group stage, the match between Liverpool and Wolfsburg has become irrelevant. The biggest suspense of this group is to see who Eindhoven and CSKA Moscow can grab the third place in the group, so as to participate in Europe. League knockout.

  Whether it is against the Dutch League or the Russian Super League, the Europa League knockout is an important way for them to win European points.

   The other three teams in the Premier League and the Champions League, Chelsea beat Maccabi Tel Aviv 4-0 in the away game, which is their rare victory this season.

   Although this big victory failed to help Chelsea qualify early, it was considered a good opportunity for them.

   In the last round of the UEFA Champions League group stage, Chelsea only need to draw at home to qualify, and they will definitely get the first place in the group after winning.

   As for the Blue Moon Manchester City, who had already qualified in the last round, they played a bit disappointing again.

   In the first round of the match, Arsenal lost to Olympiacos 2:3 at home.

   So in the last round to go away, Arsenal will have to win at least a 3:2, or a bigger score, so that Arsenal can successfully qualify.

   If only one win 1:0 or 2:1 in the final round, Arsenal will still be eliminated due to the disadvantage of the win-loss relationship.

   The Champions League group stage has been in five rounds. In the latest Champions League scorer list, Lee Chenglong still occupies the top spot. He continues to rank first in the Champions League scorer list with 9 goals.

   Behind Lee Chenglong, Cristiano Ronaldo scored 7 goals.

   But up to now, these two goals are Messi’s only two goals in the Champions League this season. Although there are still a lot of games to come, Messi is indeed far behind Lee Chenglong and Ronaldo.
