Atlético needs a victory today in Rotterdam against Feyenoord to certify its place in the round of 16 of the Champions League. A defeat would leave everything at the expense of the last day at the Metropolitano against Lazio. The Colchoneros would be first in the group if, apart from winning in Holland, Lazio lose on their visit to Celtic Park in Glasgow.
Borussia Dortmund is in a similar situation to Atlético. The Germans will already be in the round of 16 if they beat Milan away from home, at the San Siro. This group, F, is the most complicated because all four teams have options.
Luis Enrique's PSG does not depend on itself to qualify on this day. To do so they have to beat Newcastle at the Parc des Princes but they also need Dortmund not to beat Milan in Italy. For Newcastle, any option to stay alive is to not lose today in Paris.
Manchester City and Leipzig are already classified and a simple draw for Guardiola's team against Leipzig is enough to secure first place.
For the match against Feyenoord, Simeone has the entire squad except the only injured player, the Frenchman Thomas Lemar, who has stayed in Madrid. The colchoneros are in good momentum after beating Mallorca in the League on Saturday (1-0). Not many changes are expected in the eleven today. Atlético did not pass the last two group stages of the Champions League, so this time the atmosphere is one of frank optimism
