Man City in danger of exit – how Champions League stands

Date:

Manchester City are in danger of Champions League elimination, while Liverpool made it six wins from six and Arsenal and Aston Villa are flying.

Meanwhile Celtic’s play-off hopes remain alive.

Two games remain in the revamped Champions League’s new 36-team league phase.

The top eight automatically progress to the last 16 and, crucially, skip the two-legged knockout play-off round.

And 2023 champions City are far from the only Champions League heavyweight sitting uncomfortably.

Who qualifies for the knockout phase?

First, here’s a reminder of what the 36 league phase teams are aiming for.

Those finishing in the top eight automatically progress to the last 16, where they will be seeded.

They will await the winners of eight two-legged knockout play-off ties featuring the clubs ranked from ninth to 24th.

Those finishing between ninth and 16th will be seeded and face a team placed 17th to 24th, with the advantage of playing the second leg at home.

The clubs 25th or lower are eliminated and do not gain entry in to the Europa League.
