Spain is the country that has contributed the most teams to the Champions League this season, with five, but only Real Madrid has a ticket to the round of 16... Barça, Atlético, Sevilla and Villarreal are at the limit
The Spanish teams, except the Real Madrid, will live a last day of madness in the phase of groups of the Champions League, after a very irregular beginning. The picture directed by Carlo Ancelotti, after his victory in front of the Sheriff, has his note for the eighth of final and only is missing him 'ensure' the first square, against the Inter of Milan, but the tranquility is maximum in the White House; a very different situation to which live the rest of teams of LaLiga.
It is necessary to remember that Spain was, precisely, the team that more teams contributed to the present edition of the League of Champions, with five, but the results are being disappointing and have remained in a situation limit of face to the last day, in which literally they will play the 'life' and his continuity in the continental tournament. The FC Barcelona is the first of them and the one who, probably, has it more difficult. It will confront to the Bayern of Munich in the last date and only costs him win.
The Barça at present occupies the second position of his group, by behind the Bavarian group, but would have to win in the Allianz Sand to depend on yes same, because if the Benfica wins to the Dynamo of Kiev (that it already is deleted), will classify diferectamente in case that the culés lose or empaten against the muniqueses. Once again, another final for the Barcelona picture.
However, the Barça is not the only that plays it to him. The Villarreal, for example, is in a situation complicated, but with more options because it suffices him empatar or win to put in eighth of final. It will confront to the Atalanta, in Bérgamo, in the last day and all what was not defeat serves him to classify, with the Manchester United, to the following phase.
The Athletic of Madrid, by his part, is in a situation limit and does not depend on yes same, after the defeat against the AC Milan in Wanda Metropolitan of this Wednesday (0-1). The case is that the directed by the 'Cholo' Simeone have to win to the Port wine and expect that the Italian picture do not win in front of the Liverpool, but with great attention in the difference of goals. As they are the things, a tie or defeat will delete them directly of the Champions.
The Seville... Leader or chamber
Finally, it is a Seville that has sinned for leaving too many points in the phase of groups, in spite of his big party and reaction in front of the Wolfsburgo in the last date. With this panorama, will need to win to the RB Salzburg and like this will be in eighth of final. However, in case of empatar, could remain in the last square of the group, in case that the Wolfsburgo win to the Lille. The group is too open and those that go out 'losing' are the ones of Julen Lopetegui.
In any case, the situation of the Spanish teams flame to the reflection because something is happening in the football of Spain to remain so 'behind' of his direct rivals. It is question of speed, physicist or tactical... But something raisin and will have to react before it was too late and the difference was insufrible.
