Group D: Only Europa League to play for
The top two places are sewn up so its focus on the bottom
The table is as follows
What is decided:
Chelsea top the group and Porto finish the second.
What is up for grabs:
The Europa League place
Apoel Nicosia need to win at Stamford Bridge to get off the bottom.
Anything other than a shock win for the Cypriot team will see Athletico Madrid taking part in the Europa League in the New Year.
If Apoel can pull off a surprise, an Athletico win over Porto will render the Apoel win pointless.
It has to be said that the odds are stacked heavily in Athletico Madrid’s favour but a Europa League place wont mask their poor campaign.
Whilst Chelsea were undoubtedly favourites before the group started, hopes were high for a top notch tussle between Porto and Athletico but it never materialised.
Relevant head to head:
Athletic Madrid beat Apoel Nicosia on the head to head.
Can the Cypriots pull off a major shock?
