The knockouts in sight - UEFA Champions League 9 December 2020

FC Bayern München vs. Lokomotiv Moscow

Bayern are already through to the Round of 16 and Lokomotiv is already out. Yet this game still has to be played and may be an opportunity for Bayern's second string to show off before the international season heads for the christmas break:

SU7187 VKO 1700-1835 MUC A320 (07/12/20)

SU7186 MUC 1335-1710 VKO A320 (10/12/20)

FC Salzburg vs. Atlético Madrid

The fact that Atlético conceded a late goal against Bayern in the previous game means that Salzburg is still in the running for a spot in next year's knockout stage. A place in the Europa League awaits in case that they will not win the game against the Colchoneros however:

Internazionale vs. Shakhtar Donezk

Group B is the tightest of affairs in this season's Champions League so far, with all four teams in the running for the spots in the Champions League round of 16 or the Europa League round of 32. Inter will have to make sure that they win against Shakhtar Donezk though, as this is the only way for them to make sure that they still have any hope of going anywhere internationally in spring. Shakhtar will arrive from Kyiv with SkyUp Airlines.

Real Madrid vs. Borussia Mönchengladbach

The Germans are traveling to Madrid, looking to book a place in the round of 16, while Real is looking to make up for not just one, but two defeats at the hands of Shakhtar Donzek in previous rounds. For Mönchengladbach, a point is enough to go through, while in case of a draw, Real would have to hope for an Inter win over Shakhtar. Borussia Mönchengladbach will travel to Madrid with TUI:

Ajax FC vs. Atalanta Bergamo

Atalanta brought themselves back into contention with an away win at Liverpool, but a disappointing draw at home against Midtjylland could yet prove to be too much to overcome in this group. Atalanta will travel as usual, on an Enter Air Boeing 737-800:

ENT531 BGY 1000-1130 AMS B738 (08/12/20)
