We are on board for Marseille v Spurs. Which Tottenham will turn up?
Big Midweek: Marseille v Spurs, Man Utd on the attack, Klopp on the ropes, Mendy’s chance…Three-quarters of the last 16 qualifiers are already known, but Tottenham go to Marseille desperate to join them. And Man Utd need to score goals in Spain…With a dozen teams already through to the Champions League knockout stages, eight teams are vying to join them on the final matchday of the group stage. Four of them are in Tottenham’s group.
Because Kane’s strike was chalked off, Spurs are left needing to avoid defeat to progress. A draw would be enough to go through; a win would guarantee top spot and earn seeding for the last-16 draw. In Group E, however, United are playing catch-up. They go to Real Sociedad on Thursday needing to win while scoring twice to overturn the Spaniards’ head-to-head advantage after they won 1-0 at Old Trafford earlier in the campaign. If United win 1-0, then Sociedad progress as group winners by a single goal on overall goal difference, while United will go into the play-offs against Champions League cast-offs such as Barcelona, Atletico or Ajax.
During a season in which we’re having to reassess everything we thought we knew about Liverpool, at least one certainty for the Reds is a place in the Champions League last 16. They could even qualify as Group A winners if they beat Napoli by four or more tonight. Klopp, though, won’t be thinking about an unlikely seat at the summit. No doubt the Liverpool boss would settle just for a serene night at Anfield without his players soiling their sheets again.
