This actually makes the last match in the qualifying round even more interesting. Several teams are already certain to qualify for the knockout round without Play off. and some of course will wait for the results of the last match.
The same match schedule will allow all teams to give their best. Especially those whose positions in the standings are not yet guaranteed. Several teams that have a small difference from the top 8 standings still have hope in the last match. All matches will be exciting, some bets will be interesting.
Liverpool, Barcelona, Arsenal and Inter Milan will qualify directly for the next round even if they lose their last match. Even if they lose points in the last match, these four teams will be in the top 8 of the table. It is not surprising that Leverkusen and Atalanta are not in the top 8 of the table. Atalanta's performance is a bit erratic in recent times.
However, I am worried about Manchester City and PSG. Although PSG is in 22nd place in the table. Even then, if they fail to win their last match, they may not be able to qualify for the playoffs. On the other hand, even if Manchester City wins their last match, it is uncertain for them to be in the top 24 of the table. It will be a sad situation if two big teams like PSG and City are eliminated in the first round of the Champions League.
