Without Messi. The Argentine star did not travel with Barcelona to the Champions League match

In the Champions League, he can decide on the first eight-finalists this week. Sevilla with national team goalkeeper Tomáš Vaclík, Chelsea, Barcelona and Juventus Turin have a chance to celebrate their progress after Tuesday’s matches of the fourth round of the group phase.

At the beginning of the month, Seville defeated Krasnodar 3: 2 at the beginning of the month, and Chelsea also defeated Rennes 3-0 at home. In the case of wins in Russia and France, respectively, the favorites will secure the first two places in group E.

When the Spanish reigning champions of the European League defeat Krasnodar, the “Blues” are enough to advance the point. If Sevilla draws, Chesea will only send three points to the elimination phase on Tuesday.

“We also want to win in Rennes, give a good performance and then share it with Seville for the first place in the group,” Chelsea striker Timo Werner, whose team holds a series of five competition wins, told UEFA.com.

Barcelona qualifies from Group G to the round of 16 when they win at Dynamo Kyiv. The draw will be enough for the Catalans to advance if Juventus does not lose to Ferencváros at home.

On Tuesday, he will send the “Old Lady” a win and at the same time at least a point from Barcelona. Last time she lost only 2: 1 to the coronavirus-weakened Dynamo at Camp Nou, Juventus triumphed in Budapest 4: 1.

While “Barca” is 100% in the Champions League season, he is groping in the Spanish league. Coach Ronald Koeman’s charges lost 0: 1 to Athletics Madrid on Saturday, they are twelfth in the incomplete table and are experiencing the worst start in the competition in 29 years. In addition, injured defenders Gerard Piqué and Sergio Robert spread the numerous Barcelona marodka.

The star captain and striker Lionel Messi, who has shown in recent weeks that he does not enjoy playing for Barcelona, ​​and midfielder Frenkie de Jong will not even perform in Ukraine. “They need to rest because they’ve played a lot of matches and now is the time to give them time off. Our situation in the Champions League is comfortable, we already have nine points,” Koeman explained.

“We have to play against Dynamo better than at home, where they let us take over despite the absence. We are close to advancing to the elimination part and we want to use it. We need to improve in defense, but also be more effective in attack,” added the Dutch coach.

Manchester United wants to repay an unexpected 1: 2 loss from Istanbul to Basaksehir at home and stay at the head of H. Paris St. Germain hosts Leipzig, on whose course he also lost 1: 2.

Last year’s French finalist is in third place with three points and another loss can be critical for him. The second Leipzig, like United, scored six points.

“It’s like a final for us and we want to show that we are able to win such a difficult match,” said PSG coach Thomas Tuchel, for whom the return of key striker Neymar after a three-week muscle injury is a boost.

The leader of the F Dortmund group will challenge the third Bruges at home, where the Czech forward Michael Krmenčík also works. Borussia won smoothly 3-0 in Belgium in early November thanks to two goals by Erling Haaland.

The 20-year-old Norwegian gunner even won four times in Saturday’s 5: 2 Bundesliga victory over Hertha Berlin. The second Lazio is playing in Rome with the last St. Petersburg, which in Russia with a Italian opponent saved a 1: 1 draw and gained the first point in the LM season.
