The large five: what to watch
- Winner takes all
Liverpool v Sevilla and Basel v Manchester United are both games where any organisation knows a win would take them by (in fact a pull would be OK for United) regardless of a other outcome in their group. Shakhtar, Roma and Barcelona are only a indicate divided while feat would sufficient for Madrid and Chelsea, also though carrying to worry about what happens elsewhere.
- Big names in danger
Atlético have finished it by a organisation theatre 4 years in a row, reaching dual finals. Dortmund have finished so 5 seasons running. But both will be out if Atlético remove to Roma (or draw, should Chelsea equivocate defeat) and Dortmund can't kick Spurs (or regardless should Madrid win). Also in hazard are Napoli and Monaco, who knocked out Dortmund to join Atlético in final season’s semi-finals.
- APOEL hark behind to excellence days
APOEL’s biggest European impulse was holding on Real Madrid in a 2011/12 quarter-finals.

Given a events of matchday four, when Tottenham inflicted Madrid’s initial organisation better given 2012, while APOEL finished home and divided draws with Dortmund, any Cypriot certainty would not be wholly misplaced.
- New goal
Anderlecht, Celtic and Feyenoord’s hopes of swell in this foe are now over though their European seasons are distant from finished. Feyenoord know that as prolonged as they stay within 3 points of Napoli they could pass a Italians when they acquire them on matchday six – though as a Dutch champions have mislaid all their matches and their subsequent opponents Manchester City have a 100% record, their charge is anything though straightforward. Celtic are 3 points above Anderlecht in their territory so a Belgian side contingency stay in hold with a Scottish bar forward of a pair’s matchday 6 confront in Glasgow.
- Goals STILL continue to flow

Meanwhile Dortmund’s group-best total of 21, set final season, is underneath serious vigour from Paris, who are already adult to 17 and also on march to be a initial organisation to keep 6 purify sheets.
