Champions League: Lens aims for the Europa League, Manchester United in great danger
Europa League
Eliminated from the race for the round of 16 of the Champions League, Lens welcomes Sevilla on Tuesday, deprived of its supporters,
with the Europa League in its sights while Manchester United is in a very bad position before facing Bayern Munich.
In great difficulty on the domestic and continental scene, Manchester United is playing for its future in the Champions League against Bayern Munich.
The three-time winner of the event, dead last in Group A with just one success, is only a shadow of himself and will have to achieve a real feat at home to make his way into the round of 16. Certainly, Bayern are already qualified and assured of first place.
He also conceded a humiliating defeat in the Bundesliga in Frankfurt on Saturday (5-1).
But the Red Devils are in even worse shape and lost heavily at Old Trafford against Bournemouth in the Premier League (3-0).
To qualify, they will therefore have to believe in a miracle: winning against a team undefeated in the group stage for six years and at the same time hoping for a draw between Copenhagen and Galatasaray.
(9:00 p.m.) Manchester United (ENG) – Bayern Munich (GER)
(9:00 p.m.) Copenhagen (DEN) – Galatasaray (TUR)
Group B: Europa League objective for Lens
Everything is decided in this group where Arsenal and PSV Eindhoven have their tickets for the next round.
There remains an unknown factor regarding the ticket for the Europa League that Lens and Sevilla will compete for in Bollaert.
With three points ahead of the Spaniards who are hanging around in the depths of La Liga (16th) and whose supporters are prohibited from reaching the north of France on Tuesday, the Lensois (3rd) have all the cards in hand to pass .
It remains to be seen how they will have digested the monumental slap received at Arsenal (6-0). Even if they have not lost in the Championship since September 16, the Sang et Or still seem to have struggled to cope with this terrible setback since they painfully beat Lyon in Ligue 1 (3-2) before being held in check in Montpellier (0-0).
(6:45 p.m.) Lens (FRA) – Seville (ESP)
(6:45 p.m.) PSV Eindhoven (NED) – Arsenal (ENG)
Group C: Naples in favorable waiver
Napoli undoubtedly said goodbye to their chances of retaining their Italian champion title by losing in Turin against Juventus (1-0) on Friday.
Left behind in Serie A (6th), the formation of Walter Mazzarri, runner-up to a sovereign Real Madrid and qualified in group C before going to Berlin, intends to console itself with the Champions League where its three steps ahead of Braga,
his next opponent at the Diego-Maradona stadium, should, barring any surprises, allow him to continue his journey.
(9:00 p.m.) Naples (ITA) – Braga (POR)
(9:00 p.m.) Union Berlin (GER) – Real Madrid
Group D: First place at stake
The suspense is non-existent in a group largely dominated by Real Sociedad and Inter Milan.
The only issue of the last day lies in the identity of the winner of the group which will be decided at the end of the duel at San Siro between two tied teams.
Inter, finalist of the last edition and at the top of Serie A, will start as a slight favorite in front of their home crowd but watch out for the Spaniards who have just beaten Villarreal in La Liga (3-0).
(9:00 p.m.) Inter Milan (ITA) – Real Sociedad (ESP)
(9:00 p.m.) Salzburg (AUT) – Benfica Lisbon (POR)
In great difficulty on the domestic and continental scene, Manchester United is playing for its future in the Champions League against Bayern Munich.
