Memasuki matchday terakhir Liga Chmapions masih ada delapan tiket diperebutkan. Real Madrid, AC Milan, Barcelona, Inter Milan, Juventus dan Bayern Munich akan menemui takdirnya tengah pekan ini.
Fase grup Liga Champions jarang sekali mengalami persaingan yang seketat musim ini. Fakta bahwa baru delapan tim masuk 16 besar jelang matchday terakhir adalah bukti nyatanya.
Terdepaknya Liverpool, kekalahan Barcelona atas Rubin Kazan, AC Milan yang tunduk di San Siro oleh FC Zurich telah memberi kejutan besar di lima matchday terdahulu. Dan pada Rabu dan Kamis tengah pekan ini, delapan tiket tersisa akan jadi rebutan demi menjaga eksistensi di ajang bergengsi tersebut sekaligus mengejar Bordeaux, Chelsea, Arsenal, Porto, Manchester United, Fiorentina, Lyon dan Sevilla yang sudah lebih dulu lolos.
Salah satu persaingan paling sengit terjadi di Grup A saat Juventus dan Bayern Munich menjalani laga hidup-mati. Duduk di posisi dua dengan poin delapan, Bianconeri lebih diuntungkan karena tinggal butuh hasil imbang untuk menyusul Bordeaux si pemuncak grup.
Di sisi lain, Bayern Munich (7 poin) wajib menang untuk bisa melompati 'Si Nyonya Tua'. Perjuangan The Bavarian dipastikan bakal sulit mengingat Juventus main di kandang sendiri dan tengah dalam kondisi moral yang tinggi menyusul kemenangan 2-1 atas Inter Milan .
Di Grup B, Wolfsburg dan CSKA sama-sama punya nilai tujuh yang membuat mereka berpeluang mengikuti Manchester United. Meski saat ini duduk di posisi dua karena lebih unggul selisih gol, perjuangan Wolfsburg bisa jadi akan sulit lantaran mereka harus menjamu Manchester United yang mengincar kemenangan demi mengamankan posisi juara grup.
Jika wakil Jerman itu imbang apalagi kalah, maka CSKA Moscow yang melawat ke Besiktas bisa menyodok jadi runner up.
Juga harus berjuang hingga pertandingan terakhir adalah dua raksasa Eropa, AC Milan dan Real Madrid. Tengah pekan ini keduanya berturut-turut akan bertandang ke FC Zurich dan Olimpique Marseille.
Syarat Madrid lolos lebih mudah dibanding Milan karena mereka dipastikan tetap dapat tiket ke 16 besar asal tidak kalah lebih dari 3-0 atau margin empat gol. Sementara Milan, yang dipertemuan pertama kalah 0-1, harus pulang membawa tiga poin demi memastikan jalan ke knock out.
Persaingan paling ketat terjadi di Grup F karena Barcelona (posisi 1 nilai 8), Inter Milan (2;6), Rubin Kazan (3;6) dan Dynamo Kiev masih sama-sama berpeluang lolos. Dengan kata lain, Bahkan El Barca dan Nerazzurri masih mungkin terdepak di fase grup.
Di Grup G, Unirea Urziceni bisa mencetak sejarah dengan lolos ke babak 16 besar hanya dengan bermain imbang saat melawat ke Stuttgart. Tapi perjuangan itu pastinya sangat sulit karena sang wakil Jerman justru butuh kemenangan untuk bisa menemani Sevilla yang minimal butuh hasil imbang untuk bisa memastikan didapatnya puncak grup.
Tiket terakhir akan menjadi rebutan Olypiacos dan Standard Liège yang jadi penghuni Grup H. Di Karaiskakis Stadium, Olympiacos akan menjamu Arsenal sementara Standard Liège kedatangan AZ Alkmaar.
