Despite the bad moment in LaLiga, the institutional crisis, of gambling poverty and of all the problems that have dragged on for a long time the Barcelona, the azulgranas can see a little light. At least in Champions, since thanks to their victory of this Tuesday for the minimum before the Dinamo Kiev (0-1) with goal from Ansu Fati, they depend on themselves to be in round of 16.
First of all, let’s put the group in context: the Bayern sweeps, with 12 points in 4 games played (he has won them all), the Barcelona is 2nd with 6 (2 goals in favor and 6 against), the Benfica is 3rd with 4 (5 points in favor and 9 against) and the Last dynamo with only 1 point (0 goals for and 7 against). Ukrainians are mathematically eliminated. Important: Benfica beat Barcelona 3-0 in the first leg, with what in case of tie to points …
If the culés win the two games they have left against him Bayern Munich at the Allianz and the Benfica at the Camp Nou, they will add 12 points and in no case could the Portuguese reach them. There is still the remote option that they are first, if they beat the Germans by more than three goals and then these lose against Dinamo. It’s a chimera, but the option remains there.
Let’s imagine that beat Bayern Munich but they don’t beat Benfica in the end. Here come several possibilities: the first, if Benfica beat Dinamo, Barcelona would be worth a draw on the final day (10 points to 8). The second, if Benfica don’t beat Dinamo, the azulgrana would arrive already classified to the last day and iThey might even lose. They would be a team of eighths (9 points to 8 – Benfica and Dinamo draw- or 7 -Dinamo beat Benfica-)
We enter the following scenario. Yes they cannot beat Bayern (something logical), too will depend on themselves. Beating Benfica at the Camp Nou they qualify, regardless of whether they had tied or lost they in Germany and the Portuguese will beat Dinamo (9 or 10 points to 7). If Benfica makes a result equal or worse than Barcelona in the next day, to the Barcelona even the draw is worth them at the Camp Nou (8 or 7 points vs 6 or 5)
What is sure to leave Barcelona away are two defeats in the two games that remain. In the best case scenario, it would be that Benfica lost to Dinamo, when the Portuguese fell against them at the Camp Nou They would add 7 points and the Catalans only 6. If the Portuguese won both, they would reach 10. Unattainable in any case.
