In the middle of the week of the fifth round of the Champions League group stage, the qualifying situation of many groups has become clear.

In the group that Liverpool is in, after winning at home, Liverpool secured the first place in the group with 13 points ahead of schedule. At the same time, after Wolfsburg successfully won CSKA Moscow in the away game, they also secured the second place in the group with 9 points.

So in the last round of the group match, the match between Liverpool and Wolfsburg has become irrelevant. The biggest suspense in this group is to see who Eindhoven and CSKA Moscow can grab the third place in the group and use it to participate in the UEFA Champions League. League playoffs.

Whether it is against the Eredivisie team or the Russian Super League team, the Europa League knockout is an important way for them to win points in the European war.

The other three teams in the Premier League played in the Champions League, Chelsea beat Maccabi Tel Aviv 4:0 away, which is a rare big victory for them this season.

Although this big victory failed to help Chelsea qualify early, it can be regarded as a good opportunity for them.

In the last round of the UEFA Champions League group stage, Chelsea only need to draw at home to qualify, and if they win, they will definitely be able to get the first place in the group.

As for Blue Moon Manchester City, which had already qualified ahead of schedule in the last round, they once again played somewhat disappointingly.

Manchester City has already qualified ahead of schedule. This round they are going to challenge Juventus in an away game. They only need to draw in the away game, and they can continue to suppress the old lady and prepare for their final round of winning the group.

However, Manchester City lost 0:1 to Juventus in the away game, and was overtaken by the opponent in points.

In this case, although Manchester City still has a chance to win the first place in the group in the last round, they can basically only wait for Juventus to make a mistake.

Liverpool and Manchester City should be the two strongest teams in the Premier League this season. If Manchester City can't get the first place in the group, they will probably meet strong opponents in the Champions League round of 16, and the road to promotion will immediately become difficult.

Liverpool, Manchester City, and Chelsea are all in good shape to qualify for the Champions League, but Arsenal are still not very optimistic.

Although Arsenal beat Dinamo Zagreb 3:0 at home in this round, Bayern also helped, defeating Olympiacos 4:0 at home.

But Arsenal is still three points behind Olympiacos. In the final round of the group stage, Arsenal must go to an away game to beat the Greek team, and the winning score should not be too small, otherwise it will not be enough.

In the first leg of the match, Arsenal lost 2:3 at home to Olympiacos.

So in the last round of the away game, Arsenal must win at least a 3:2, or a bigger score is fine, so that Arsenal can successfully qualify.

If they only win 1:0 or 2:1 in the final round, Arsenal will still be eliminated because of the disadvantage of the relationship between victory and defeat.

There have been five rounds of the UEFA Champions League group stage. In the latest UEFA Champions League scorer list, Lee Chenglong still occupies the top spot. He continues to rank first in the UEFA Champions League scorer list with 9 goals.

Behind Li Chenglong is Ronaldo who scored 7 goals.

It seems that the battle for the Champions League Golden Boot this season basically depends on Jackie Chan and Ronaldo.

In this round of the Champions League, Messi finally returned from injury, and in Barcelona's 6:1 home victory over Roma, Messi scored twice.

But so far, these two goals are also Messi's only two goals in the Champions League this season. Although there are still many games to come, Messi is indeed behind Jackie Chan and Ronaldo by a lot.

In the history of the Premier League, most of the Christmas champions finally won the league championship of the season.

But for Liverpool, the Christmas championship is more like a curse.

The Red Army had won the Premier League Christmas championship three times before, but in the end the team failed to win the league championship that year.

In the season, Liverpool once again won the Premier League Christmas Championship, but the final champion was Manchester United.

This season, Liverpool won the Premier League Christmas Championship last time, but the team still missed a good opportunity again, and the final championship was won by Manchester City.

Three Christmas champions, three times failed to win, this is indeed like a curse of Liverpool, and it is well known.

In fact, in the history of the Premier League, there are not many teams that won the Christmas championship but failed to win the championship, including Newcastle United, Aston Villa, Leeds United and other Premier League teams, as well as Premier League teams such as Manchester United and Arsenal. Well-known giants, even a team like Norwich have won the Premier League Christmas Championship, and they did it in the first year of the Premier League.

But these teams, although Manchester United and Arsenal have missed opportunities, they have all won the Premier League championship, and the overall influence of other teams is not as good as Liverpool, plus Liverpool missed three opportunities, it is indeed the most missed opportunities The one, so Liverpool's Christmas Championship spell is really famous.

It is also worth mentioning that the last two Premier League Christmas champions failed to win the championship, all of which were arranged by Liverpool, which is indeed a bit off the chain.

Today, Liverpool is getting closer and closer to the Christmas championship, and the British media have also begun to hype Liverpool's Christmas championship spell.
