Manchester United and Bayern will light up after home humiliations, Mbappe will drag Paris into the playoffs. Express for the Champions League – Sport24.ru – online sports news in Russia and the world

A match that means nothing for the guests and decides everything for the hosts. Manchester United is approaching the last round of the Champions League in last place, and Bayern in first. The Germans have long secured the Champions League playoffs for themselves, while the British have a chance to jump into the last car. To do this, you need to beat Tuchel’s team and get a peaceful outcome in the match between Copenhagen and Galatasaray. And after humiliations at home – in the championship, Bayern received five from Eintracht, Manchester United received three from Bournemouth, you definitely cannot remain silent.

There is little chance of a successful outcome for Manchester United, but they shouldn’t think about it. They need to put aside their emotions, run forward, score, win. That’s exactly what they will do. And Bayern will gladly accept the fight, accept open football. Tuchel will certainly give a chance to the reservists who want to make a name for themselves with a beautiful game. We are expecting a rollicking exchange of blows, a lot of attacks and goals. The Germans have no tournament motivation at all, and with it the fear of being eliminated, and the British have almost none. Let the beautiful game happen!

The death group distributes fire. Before the last round, no one lost their chance of qualifying, and only Borussia guaranteed itself the playoffs. But there is a nuance here too. If PSG beats Dortmund in a head-to-head match, then it not only breaks into the playoffs, but also takes first place in the group. And with it an acceptable opponent for the 1/8 finals. Kylian Mbappe and company dismantled Borussia in the first round without any problems at all. It seems they are going to repeat their success. Only a victory over the unstable Borussia and first place in the group can erase the aftertaste of the uncertain play throughout the tournament. And Dortmund just caught the crisis.

Each of these teams has a chance at the Champions League playoffs, but each understands that the head-to-head match is most likely for the Europa League. Only a defeat for PSG in Dortmund and a personal victory will lift Milan or Newcastle to second place. Too much has to coincide, and in general it will be difficult to win. Newcastle are incredibly strong at home – they have beaten everyone except Liverpool this season. But Newcastle is playing without 10 first-team players and the closest reserves. Recently, Howe’s team lost its strength and received a crushing 0:3 defeat from Everton. “Milan” won’t be insolent away either; Pioli, in his style, will try to sting in counterattacks. In any case, the opponents will not have enough strength and courage to score a large number of goals. And Sandro Tonali will be in the stands to watch this spectacle; the disqualification will probably give him peace of mind to cheer for Milan.

A match for first place in the group, which means an easier draw in the playoffs. But will it be easier? It seems that neither Inzaghi nor Alguacil believe in this. How else can we explain the fact that both coaches played as reserves in the last round. Arsen Zakharyan played 90 minutes against Salzburg, but Real Sociedad failed to score. However, like the Austrians. Inter put on a much brighter show – they went from 0:3 to 3:3, and again the second line-up played. To take first place, the Italians must win. This is what they will try to achieve through experience. The walls at home help, and Inter has more reserves.
