In the standings, Liverpool holds the lead with 7 wins in a row (21 points out of 21), followed by Barcelona (18). These two teams guaranteed themselves a direct ticket to the 1/8 finals.
18 teams entered the playoffs of the Champions League:
- Liverpool (21 points), Barcelona (18) are already in the 1/8 finals
- Arsenal, Inter (16), Atlético, Milan (15 each), Atalanta (14)
- Bayer, Aston Villa, Monaco, Feyenoord, Lille, Brest (13 each)
- Borussia D, Bayern, Real Madrid, Juventus, Celtic (12 each)
With 7 points, Shakhtar ranks 27th in the Champions League standings (goal difference 7–13). The transition zone of the top-24 ends with 10 points (Stuttgart has a goal difference of 12–13).
The last round will be held on January 29. The top 8 clubs will advance to the round of 16. The teams that will take places from the 9th to the 24th will take part in the round of 16. The 12 worst teams will say goodbye to the European Cups.
So far, the English club Manchester City remains outside the playoffs with 8 points (25th place), but has a chance to save the European season if it wins over Bruges in the last round.
Shakhtar has little chance of reaching the playoffs.
To do this, Marino Pushych’s team needs to win by a large score away from Borussia D (January 29). And they also hope for a crushing defeat of one of the competitors (Benfica, PSG, Sporting, Stuttgart).
For example, Hornyakov will arrange a victory over Borussia D (3:0) provided that Stuttgart loses to PSG with a score of 0:3, Man City does not win in Bruges, plus Dinamo Zagreb does not take three points in the game with Milan. The chances of such a schedule are extremely minimal.
