Group C: A big name could still drop out
The Galacticos are top now but not guaranteed to progress.
The table is as follows
What is decided:
FC Zurich will finish bottom
What is up for grabs:
The two Champions League places and the Europa League spot.
If Real Madrid beat Marseille, Real Madrid and AC Milan will qualify for the last 16.
If Real Madrid and Marseille draw, Real Madrid and AC Milan will qualify for the last 16.
If Marseille beat Real Madrid, it depends on the score.
If Marseille beat Real Madrid by three goals or more, Marseille will qualify for the last 16. AC Milan would then require a win to qualify for the last 16, an AC Milan draw or loss would see them in the Europa League and Real Madrid in the last 16.
If Marseille beat Real by less than three goals, Real Madrid will qualify for the last 16. AC Milan would then require a win to qualify for the last 16, an AC Milan draw or loss would see them in the Europa League and Marseille in the last 16.
In brief, Marseille need to win to stand any chance of qualification. A three goal victory and they have qualified regardless of the score from the other match. Less than a three goal win and they need AC Milan to drop points.
If Marseille don’t win, it is Europa League football for them in the New Year.
This group could need a calculator and pencil to work out the final placings!
Relevant head to heads that have been decided:
AC Milan beat Real Madrid on the head to head
AC Milan beat Marseille on the head to head
Can Marseille grab a three goal win to put their fate in their own hands?
