The baskets for the group round draw will look something like this (with the assumption that the teams with the best rating will make their way from the qualification to the group).

The first pancake as the head coach of the Monegasques came out lumpy. But just three days after the defeat in Strasbourg, his teammates and have a chance to reverse the unfavorable situation. Let's be objective: the chances of reaching the playoffs look ghostly, and while the task at least can be the fight for third place with. True, it will have to start without the captain who has replenished the infirmary and best sniper.

A few days only and conversations were, which was surprisingly busy for a week. The fans were looking forward to the battle with for the leadership in the la league, a meeting with and for dessert were waiting for the Spanish clásico. Alas, despite the excellent result of the first of three matches of increased difficulty, the mood of the Catalans is not the best now. The team has lost, and the recently extended contract with the club is racking its brains over how to build the game without its key performer.

Even an extra day of rest compared to playing on Sunday does not seem to be an advantage. Although he also lost the most important player - injured in the Milan derby. On the other hand, the victory in the Milan derby was snatched by the black and blue without the Belgian, and the decisive goal was last minutes able to inspire the Italians who won seven matches in a row to new feats. Mauro, by the way, expressed regret about Messi's injury, although for a long time his ignorance by the national team coaches was associated with Leo.

The second match in this group is one of the lowest rated on the round. But this is in the opinion of an outside observer, while for and face-to-face rivalry becomes decisive. Both teams have no points, and the loser on Wednesday with a close to one hundred percent probability will lose even the illusory chances of qualifying from the group. And the consolation playoffs of the Europa League are likely to turn into a mirage.

Ancelotti and Cavani vs. Former Teams

Group C

Match and - one of the central in the tour. And since none of the teams in the "death group" escaped losses, the cost of a mistake increases many times over. The trainers of the Parisians and the Neapolitans already at the weekend kept the upcoming confrontation in mind. In particular, he did not even include in the application for the game of the national championship, and, but left it on the bench. The latter decision is logical, given Gigi's ongoing UEFA club suspension.

In turn, before visiting the former team, he also took care of a number of leaders, including the ex-Spartak player. But still the injured hip was lost. However, this unpleasant news was overshadowed by information about the recovery of the brilliantly started the season.
