Too close to call. Champions League jeopardy hangs over PSG, Real Madrid, Barcelona and Man City
- On Wednesday, several European giants prepare for a nervy final round of Champions League matches, with Barcelona hosting Copenhagen and Manchester City facing Galatasaray in key fixtures deciding playoff risks.
- With teams tightly packed on points, the Champions League standings feature eight teams on 13 points , making the final round results potentially reshuffle the table dramatically.
- Arsenal and Bayern Munich are already certain to progress after seven rounds, with Arsenal poised to complete a perfect phase by beating Kairat, while Napoli, Serie A champion, risks elimination.
- A playoffs draw is scheduled at 12:00 CET on Friday to set the two-legged ties, with Jose Mourinho, Benfica coach, risking early exit and Manchester City seeking to avoid extra fixtures.
- The new Champions League format has turned previously predictable clubs into subjects of genuine jeopardy, as seen last season when Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester City both faced playoffs but had wildly different outcomes.
