The UEFA Champions League's seventh matchday is here, and fixtures will have sides aiming to get crucial wins.
The Champions League is back after a few-week break, and its matchday seven will be featuring, as we edge closer to deciding which clubs qualify for the next round.
Last time, Manchester City defeated Real Madrid 2-1, Newcastle and Leverkusen drew 2-2, Liverpool got the better of Inter Milan, Barcelona got the victory against Frankfurt, and Atalanta were 2-1 winners against Chelsea.
The top eight has Arsenal leading the way, going into this, with Bayern Munich, Manchester City, and Real Madrid among the placements.
Whoever finishes within this, they’ll automatically qualify for the next round, and for the ones on 9th to 24th, they’ll need an extra tie to attempt booking their place alongside their fellow clubs. Any other number besides this ends in elimination.
Due to this, every result is vital, as it could be the difference in what lies ahead for each side.
Among the matches, there are many big fixtures, including Inter Milan vs Arsenal, Copenhagen vs Napoli, and Marseille vs Liverpool.
The final games of the league phase will be next week, on the 28th.
