The Champions League ball is rolling back on an adrenaline-fueled Tuesday. In this first part of the fourth day, groups and the future of some teams will begin to be decided, for better and for worse. Eight games with big names and needs that will force us to pull a multiscreen to those who have access to it. Chelsea, Juventus, Borussia Dortmund, Manchester United or PSG are some of the actors that complete today's cast and accompany the protagonists within our borders in this blockbuster: Seville and Barcelona.
Most prominent matches:
Krasnodar-Sevilla (6:55 p.m., Movistar Champions League)
A victory would cross off Lopetegui's list the first goal of the season, to pass the stage in the top continental competition. As long as Rennes does not steal the three points from Chelsea in the other Group E match. Sevilla already threw epic in the first round against the Russians and did it against Celta this weekend. At the Krasnodar Stadium, best to put the scares aside. With Navas sanctioned, Koundé can occupy the right back and leave Diego Carlos without his usual partner.
Dynamo Kiev-Barcelona (9:00 p.m., Movistar Champions League)
In the frame, this is how the Barça team arrives in Kiev. For the injuries and for the call of Ronald Koeman, who has left Leo Messi and Frenkie de Jong in Barcelona. Qualifying is on track and the victory in Turin puts first place within reach, but if the step forward has already been taken, it is better to avoid taking two behind with an unexpected puncture. Time to vindicate himself for Dembélé and Griezmann and to debut for the youth squad Mingueza, who will accompany Lenglet in the rear.
