Tickets for the next round looming - UEFA Champions League MD6, 10 December 2024

10 December 2024

Girona FC vs. Liverpool FC

30th / 3 pts vs. 1st / 15 pts

Already certain of a spot in the knock-out stages in 2025, Liverpool could already make sure to avoid the play-off round and qualify directly for the round of 16. Girona fight for survival in the Champions League however, so it remains to be seen how much resistance they will manage to come up with.

GNK Dinamo Zagreb vs. Celtic Glasgow

23rd / 7 pts vs. 20th / 8 pts

Both these teams sit right on the edge of making it to the play-off round in February. They need full points from this round though, because Real Madrid and PSG sitting behind them will definitely look to improve. It will be a big day out for the Celtic supporters who are set to travel to Zagreb with several Jet2 Boeing 737 aircraft.

Atalanta Bergamo vs. Real Madrid

5th / 11 pts vs. 24th / 6 pts

One would have expected Real Madrid higher up in the table. But just the two wins and three losses already make them have to fight for every single point. Atalanta will be no push-overs at all and will give them a fight until the last minute for the valuable points.

Bayer 04 Leverkusen vs. Inter Milan

6th / 10 pts vs. 2nd / 13 pts

Bayer face opponents from Milan for the second time in this year's UEFA Champions League. This time round, it is a proper top-of-the-table clash with two teams definitely looking for a finish in the top 8.

NO9140 MXP xxxx-1810 CGN B738 (09/12/24)

Club Brugge vs. Sporting CP

22nd / 7 pts vs. 10th / 10 pts

The visitors from Lisbon are looking for points to make the top 8, while Brugge might look at just about defending their spot on the table.

FC Salzburg vs. Paris St-Germain

32nd / 3 pts vs. 25th / 4 pts

Two of Europe's best teams in recent years have been struggling all season long. While PSG are at least leading their own league, Salzburg are also struggling domestically. Will this round already be the end of their Champions League hopes this season? The same goes for the mighty PSG however.

Shakhtar Donezk vs. FC Bayern München

26th / 4 pts vs. 13th / 9 pts

A domestic trip to Gelsenkirchen for the German giants Bayern. It remains uncertain whether they will use an aircraft at all.

RB Leipzig vs. Aston Villa

34th / 0 pts vs. 9th / 10 pts

One of the surprises in this season's UCL definitely is Aston Villa. They have a big chance of getting more points at the so far unlucky RB Leipzig.

LS6819 BHX xxxx-1645 LEJ B738 (09/12/24)

LS6820 LEJ 1300-xxxx BHX B738 (11/12/24)

Stade Brestois vs. PSV Eindhoven

11th / 10 pts vs. 18th / 8 pts

In midfield, more points are key for any team. Brest could make a huge step towards the next round with a win. But also PSV could remain in contention if they manage to beat the French surprise package in Brittany.

Shakhtar Donetsk vs. BSC Young Boys

18.45h, Arena auf Schalke, Gelsenkirchen (D)

29th/1pt vs. 34th/0pts

Two of the very bottom teams face off in Germany, where Shakhtar are once again playing their home fixtures. Young Boys will look to open their account against what actually could be the first beatable opposition this season, despite a good performance in the tight loss against Inter a couple of weeks ago.

Club Brugge vs. Aston Villa

18.45h, Jan Breydel Stadium, Bruges

26th/3pts vs. 1st/9pts

It may come as a surprise that Aston Villa are in the lead of the Champions League three games into the season. Their wins over Bayern München, Young Boys and Bologna came well-earned though. Against the Belgian champions Brugge they will look to maintain their perfect start and make another big stride towards the knockout phase.

Red Star Belgrade vs. FC Barcelona

21.00h, Marakana, Belgrade

33rd/0pts vs. 10th/6pts

Barcelona should be clear favourites away in Belgrade. However, the Marakana is a very noisy ground with the enthusiasm of their home supporters, Red Star will be keen to book their first points of the season. For the outbound flight, Barcelona appears to use Air Europa Express, while the return flight is set to be a regular Air Europa aircraft.

FC Bayern München vs. SL Benfica

21.00h, Allianz Arena, Munich

23rd/3pts vs. 13th/6pts

Bayern find themselves in a delicate situation, having lost two out of three games so far. Benfica on their behalf sit about where one could expect them to be, with two wins and one loss.

TP9022 LIS 1500-1900 MUC A339 CS-TUI (05/11/24)

Inter Milan vs. Arsenal

21.00h, San Siro, Milan

7th/7pts vs. 9th/7pts

Another clash with two opponents who are level on points. A win in this match could be a big step forward for those two heavyweights of international football in Europe. Winning away games in Italy is not the easiest thing at the best of times though - even for teams from the strong league in England.

Paris St-Germain vs. Atlético Madrid

21.00h, Parc des Princes, Paris

19th/4pts vs. 27th/3pts

There would have been mixed emotions in Paris and Madrid so far about the respective UCL campaigns. PSG dropped valuable points against Arsenal and PSV. Atlético even has to make up for two losses against Lille and Benfica. The Rojiblancos will travel to Paris with Privilege Style, enjoying the trip on one of their Airbus A321 aircraft.

Sparta Prague vs. Stade Brestois 29

21.00h, Stadion Letna, Prague

21st/4pts vs. 5th/7pts

Sparta are hosting one of the big surprises of the Champions League season so far. Nobody would have expected Brest to sit in the top group with seven points from their first three matches, although the wins over both Austrian teams Salzburg and Sturm Graz may not have come as a complete surprise. In their third game, Brest mixed it with German champions Leverkusen and held out for a 1-1 draw.

Feyenoord Rotterdam vs. FC Salzburg

21.00h, De Kuip, Rotterdam

16th/6pts vs. 34th/0pts

The Dutch home team may just about be ranked where expected. But Salzburg would definitely have hoped for a lot more than zero points and nine goals conceded in the first three matches of the campaign. Points are a must for the Austrian team - but are Feyenoord the right opponents for this mission?

VfB Stuttgart vs. Atalanta Bergamo

21.00h, MHPArena, Stuttgart

18th/4pts vs. 17th/5pts

Atalanta and Stuttgart are neighbors on the table, separated by just the one point. Both are of course hoping for knockout football in 2025, but they will both still have their work cut out in games to come. Whoever wins this one has valuable points in the bank.

Milan going big, Leverkusen going long - UEFA Champions League MD4, 5 November 2024

PSV Eindhoven vs. Girona FC

18.45h, Philips Stadion, Eindhoven

28th/2pts vs. 24th/3pts

Two teams in need for more points face off in Eindhoven. PSV managed two draws so far. At the same time, Girona at least managed to beat a win over Slovan Bratislava in the previous round. To make it at least to the knockout phase play-offs, both teams need a positive result from this game however.

Slovan Bratislava vs. Dinamo Zagreb

18.45h, Tehelne Pole, Bratislava

36th/0pts vs. 22nd/4pts

The absolutely last-placed team in this year's competition is Slovan Bratislava. After three games, they have no points and just the one goal to show for. Their opponents Dinamo Zagreb at least won against RB Salzburg and drew with AS Monaco.

Real Madrid vs. AC Milan

21.00h, Santiago Bernabeu, Madrid

12th/6pts vs. 25th/3pts

Two of the ultimative heavy-weights in European club football play each other in Madrid. Real have won two out of three matches so far. Milan won one against Brugge and lost the other two against Liverpool and Bayer Leverkusen. A win for Real would help them to keep up the pace with the leaders. Interestingly enough, Milan will use a widebody aircraft for the relatively short trip from Malpensa to Madrid. The flight is running under a Neos callsign, but will be operated by Norse Atlantic Airways.

Bologna FC vs. AS Monaco

21.00h, Stadio Renato Dall'ara, Bologna

It looks like a tough ask for the home team against the high-flying AS Monaco. The visitors from Monaco already have seven points from three matches while Bologna sits way down the table with just a solitary point from a draw against Shakhtar Donetsk.

Liverpool FC vs. Bayer 04 Leverkusen

21.00h (20.00h local time), Anfield Road, Liverpool

2nd/9pts vs. 6th/7pts

Ten out of 36 teams in this year's Champions League League phase are still unbeaten. Liverpool is even amongst the two teams that won all three games this far. Bayer Leverkusen had wins in Rotterdam against Feyenoord and then at home against Milan before a draw with Brest away in Guingamp. Enthusiasts in Liverpool will get treated to a Condor Boeing 757-300 visiting - one of the last, if not the last chance for them to see this particular aircraft type.

Celtic Glasgow vs. RB Leipzig

21.00h (20.00h local time), Celtic Park, Glasgow

20th/4pts vs. 31st/0pts

That Leipzig are so far down the table could probably not be expected before the League phase. But the team played some big teams so far, including Juventus and Liverpool, against whom they both lost by just one goal. Away in Glasgow, they will aim to do much better. But can they come up against the traditionally very big atmosphere at Celtic Park?

Lille OSC vs. Juventus Turin

21.00h, Stade Pierre Mauroy, Villeneuve-d'Ascq

15th/6pts vs. 14th/6pts

Two neighbors on the table face off in a quest for more points. Juventus had two wins in three games, just like LOSC. That recent loss at home against Stuttgart may not have been planned for however. Surely Juve may look for something better away in Northern France. LOSC started with a defeat away in Lisbon against Sporting but came back well with wins over both Real and Atlético Madrid.

AZ9014 TRN 1530-1710 LIL A20N (04/11/24)

Borussia Dortmund vs. SK Sturm Graz

21.00h, Signal Iduna Park (Westfalenstadion), Dortmund

11th/6pts vs. 32nd/0pts

It is another very difficult assignment for the Austrian champions Sturm Graz, away at the mighty Borussia Dortmund. In one of their first three matches, Borussia scored a 7-1 win over Celtic - and yet this is not even the highest win of this league phase. In the third match however, they lost 5-2 away at Real Madrid. Could it be a question of which BVB turns up at the Westfalenstadion on Tuesday night?

8th/7pts vs. 3rd/7pts

These two teams are high up in the table and equal on points. Whoever wins this match will have great chances to make a step forward towards the knockout rounds.
