Not a bad day for English clubs in the Champions League. The last round of the league phase is completed.
Liverpool, Arsenal and Aston Villa finished in the top 8, meaning they're going directly to the next stage without having to participate in the play-offs. This is a success particularly for Villa, who beat Celtic 4-2 today and grabbed the last, 8th place in the direct promotion zone.
Man City was outside the playoffs before today, but they didn't disappoint their fans and beat Club Brugge 3-1 at home. The first half wasn't the most impressive on their part, but I'd rather have them playing ugly and winning than playing nicely and losing points.
Quite a lot of representatives from the English league can enter the top 8 of the Champions League, especially if we see that the Champions League is led by Liverpool as the leader of the Champions League and the English League and Arsenal in third place after Barcelona, and the most disappointing is indeed Man City, they almost couldn't enter the next round and fortunately they were able to beat Club Brugge and were able to enter the Champions League play-off round, if they hadn't beaten that team it might have been a bad story that had to be swallowed by fans and the entire team about Manchester City failing to enter the Champions League play-offs.
