UEFA Champions League Group Stage MD6 - 13 December 2023

The final match day of the 2023 Champions League group stage will see two more spots in the round of 16 up for grabs, as well as two spots in the Europa League knock-out play-off round. Six out of eight knock-out participants from this half of the draw are already known. Manchester City are even already confirmed as the winners of their group.

Atlético Madrid vs. Lazio Roma

Both teams are already through to the round of 16, with just the seedings to be confirmed. Atlético take a slight advantage into the match, leading the group with 11 points, ahead of Lazio with 10. Lazio will travel to Madrid with AeroItalia.

Borussia Dortmund vs. Paris St-Germain

In a tight group, BVB have confirmed their spot in the round of 16 already. They will host a PSG team that has slightly disappointed so far and only still stands a chance of the top spot due to a late VAR penalty call against Newcastle United in their previous game. Just how PSG will arrive in Dortmund is not clear yet. But they will depart in the late hours from Paderborn-Lippstadt, using a KlasJet Boeing 737-300.

EDIT: The KlasJet aircraft will arrive in Dortmund on Tuesday, but will then swiftly get ferried over to Paderborn-Lippstadt.

Hosts Antwerp may already be out of the competition, but they will still look to have a great night against one of the heavyweights of past seasons. Barcelona will not arrive directly in Antwerp, but will fly from Barcelona to Brussels with Privilege Style.

UEFA Champions League Group Stage MD6 - 12 December 2023

Manchester United vs. FC Bayern München

United require a win and probably some extra luck if they want to proceed to the knock-out stage. But with the run of results in this group stage, proceeding towards the Europa League is probably the best they can hope for. Bayern München have qualified top of the group already and yet cause a nice amount of extra traffic between MUC and MAN.

FC Kobenhavn vs. Galatasaray

It is almost a straight shootout between Kobehavn and Galatasaray for the second spot in this group. In case of a draw, Kobenhavn remain in front. But in this case, a win for Manchester United in the other game could lead to both teams leaving the Champions League after the group stage. Galatasaray will travel by Turkish A330-300 just as for the two previous away fixtures.

RC Lens vs. Sevilla CF

Both teams are eliminated from the Champions League already. The Europa League knock-out play-off spot is still up for grabs between Lens and Sevilla however. The visitors need a simple win to clinch this spot and make it through to the UEL once again to defend the title that brought them into the Champions League.

There is literally nothing at stake between PSV and Arsenal, with both team through to the round of 16 already. Arsenal will travel to the Netherlands with Titan Airways, late on Monday afternoon.

Union Berlin vs. Real Madrid

Hosts Union Berlin still stand a chance of making it to the Europa League knock-out stage. For this, they are dependent on the result of the other game in the group however. Real Madrid are already assured of the top spot in this group and might look to rest a few key players. They will arrive in Berlin as usual, using an Iberia Airbus A321.

SSC Napoli vs. SC Braga

The visitors from the North of Portugal still have a slight chance to win promotion into the round of 16. They will have to beat Napoli away in Italy however, which is definitely not an easy task. Two aircraft will take the senior team and the Youth League team from Porto to Napoli.
