It is time for the definitions in the Champions League and there are Colombians who could take firm steps to the second phase.
This would be the panorama in this week of competition
What those from Atalanta need
Atalanta, from Zapata, Mojica and Muriel, is third in group D with the same 7 points as Ajax, both behind Liverpool, who lead with 9.
This Tuesday the eliminated Midtjylland will be measured with the need to win, if he wants to maintain the illusion of advancing, next week, in his visit to Ajax. It is the only option not to depend on some setback from the Dutch, who beat him on the table by one goal.
Duván Zapata is expected to reconcile with the goal after scoring 3 times in the competition, while Muriel has one. Mojica, who hasn’t started in recent games, could have a shot.
The case of del Porto
Luis Díaz and Matheus Uribe are one step away from qualifying, as Porto is second in group C with 9 points and a favorable goal difference of +5. The mess is that this Tuesday he faces nothing less than Guardiola’s Manchester City.
Next week the rival will be Olympiacos in a tournament in which Díaz has had great weight, scoring two beautiful goals, while Uribe has an assist.
Square, by the tip of the group
The Juventus defender arrives at the duel this Wednesday, between Juventus and Dynamo Kiev, with 9 points and the second place in group G secured (he is a guard for FB Barcelona, who has 12). Total peace of mind.
What remains is to fight for the lead, a goal that will only be met if the Catalans lose their two games, the last one, on December 8, precisely against the Italians.
Cuadrado has been especially productive in this tournament, in which he has 4 assists
Those of the most difficult panorama
A last alternative has Brujas, by Eder Álvarez Balanta, this Wednesday against the eliminated Zenit by Wilmar Barrios and wait for other results: he needs Lazio not to win or that Borussia Dortmund, with Haaland, not win two games.
It is worth mentioning that the leader of group F is the German team, with 9 units, while Lazio is second (8) and Bruges only adds 4 units.
