A carambola leaves to the Barça with a likely rival in Champions

The FC Barcelona contested this Tuesday his last party of Champions of 2017, and after finish the day of the Wednesday, could have a very clear rival in eighth of final. Although it still is slope of the closing of the phase of groups, there is a classification that could leave the very conditioned draw.

As it has aimed Mister Chip in his account of Twitter, if the Liverpool happens like first, Chelsea only will have three possible opponents for eighth. The most likely of all would be the Barcelona group, with 43,3% of the possibilities, whereas Paris Saint Germain and Besiktas would remain with 28,3%.

This is because of the restrictions of nationality in the draw and to the own of the group, that do not cross to first and second that already have coincided, neither neither to teams of a same country. With the 'reds' as leaders, the londinenses could not find them, neither neither to Manchester United, Manchester City, Tottenham and Rome, first of the Group C.

Besides, the Barça has his own limitations, since it will not cross with Juventus, Real Madrid and if the Liverpool remains first, the another second Spanish, the Seville. Like Turkish and Parisians are the only of his countries that will happen of round, do not have inconvenient, what would approach the balls to a crossing with the 'blues'.

Crossing complicated

For the moment they are not more than cold statistical, but have almost 50% of probabilities to cross with Chelsea is not dish of good taste for the Barça. 12 years ago that the Catalans do not win in Europe to the English, since they attained it in the season 2005-06. In that eliminatory, also of eighth, happened the londinenses, although in the semifinal of the 2008-09, the culés apuraron his pass with two ties in the eliminatory of the 'Iniestazo'.
