The Champions League anthem is playing again, although for some teams with less and less force. Two games remain and the future of one and the other begins to be elucidated. This fifth day will be key to the final result and there are several teams that should be in the next phase with their continuity doing tightrope. Atlético or Real Madrid, both with a game this Tuesday, they cannot allow themselves to step on any puddle if they do not want to turn their European season into a nightmare, just like Inter Milan whose baggage at this point (2 points) invites the greatest pessimism. Manchester City or Bayern Munich they walk calmly (the citizens should only close the first position), while the LiverpoolAlthough first in the group, he still has to avoid last minute slips. Further, two LaLiga Smartbank matches complement the day.
Today's most outstanding Champions matches
Shakhtar-Real Madrid (6:55 p.m., Movistar Champions League)
¿Who will appear today at the Olympic in Kiev, Dr. Jekyll or Mr. Hyde? That is the great doubt for a reeling Real Madrid that already stumbled at Di Stefano against Shakhtar and had to solve the ballot in San Siro days ago. Benzema returns as the best of balms to ease the pain of casualties. Winning is passing the round. Lose, pull calculator.
Atlético de Madrid-Bayern de Munich (9:00 p.m., Movistar Liga de Campones)
Atleti receives a Bayern with a 'b' label, because knowing that they are first in the group has made Flick reserve part of the cavalry (Neuer, Lewandowski, Goretzka …). The rojiblancos have changed a lot since the defeat at the Allianz, as they march triumphant in LaLiga and have not seen any defeat again. However, lhe draws against Lokomotiv require, at least, to score today if they do not want to look at third parties.
Liverpool-Ajax (9:00 p.m., Movistar Champions League)
Jurgen Klopp's had everything in their face a day ago. They played at home against Atalanta with nine of nine in the bag. But the defeat at Anfield littered the road. Now, another puncture would become dramatic, as they only have two points over the Dutch and the Italians. Casualties are a reality, but they cannot serve as an excuse.
