Atlético's accounts in the Champions League: can they qualify for the second round today? What do you need?

Atlético comes to this day with five points, three from Lokomotiv and one from Salzburg. With two games ahead, mathematics says that the rojiblanco team is enough four points to pass to eighths, although these counts may be different when your match starts. At 21:00 the Lokomotiv-Salzburg will be over (18:55) and that opens up possibilities. Atlético can finish the day already classified. There are different options:

  • In case of tie on points, Atleti would be ahead of Lokomotiv because, despite the fact that both direct duels ended in a draw, he scored a goal in Moscow.
  • The ideal assumption: if the Russians don't win, Simeone's men qualify with a win against Bayern. His 8 points would be unattainable for the two pursuers.
  • Conversely, if Lokomotiv prevails (6 points), the rojiblancos will start their match in third position. This means that Atleti could not be classified mathematically today and that, at a minimum, they would have to tie with Bayern to depend on themselves on the last day.
  • That is to say, if Lokomotiv wins and Atleti loses, the rojiblancos would reach the final match from behind (6 to 5), so they would need a better result than the Russians to overtake them. In favor of Cholo, that Lokomotiv will visit Bayern and they will play at the home of a Salzburg eliminated from everything. If the Muscovites won in Munich, Atleti would be left out.
  • If Salzburg win (4 points) and Atleti don't, the pass will be decided next Wednesday in Austria. The rojiblancos would be worth a draw to be second.
  • Whatever happens today Bayern are safe first in the group.

Group A classification:

1st Bayern, 12 points

2nd Athletic, 5

3rd Lokomotiv, 3

4th Salzburg, 1
