What are the accounts of Barça?
There is no doubt that he has to focus on winning his commitment tonight against Benfica, but today in Kiev you can decide part of your fate. These are the possible results in this match for Dinamo and Bayern and their repercussions on the culé team:
If Bayern win:
That the German champion wins today in Ukraine would clarify the panorama of the Catalan team. If this situation occurs, The Blaugranas would mathematically go to the second round if they win and would depend on themselves in the event of a tie. If they lose, they would need to win in Munich and for Benfica not to win against Dinamo on the final matchday. Bayern, meanwhile, would sentence their leadership of group ‘E’ tonight.
In case of a tie:
Situation identical to that of the previous case. Bayern only need one point to be mathematically group leader. Perhaps the only difference is that, in this case, Dinamo would have some minimal option to go to the Europa League on the last day if Barcelona win, something impossible if today they draw or lose. Those of Lucescu, therefore, need to win or win, or wait for a favor culé, to dream of continuing in continental competition.
If Dinamo wins:
It would be the worst of the assumptions for Xavi Hernández’s team, since it would force him to win yes or yes at Benfica to avoid disappointment. If they draw or lose against the Lisbon team, they would have to beat Bayern on the last day and the Portuguese stumble against a Dinamo who would have very remote options, but ultimately, options of going to the second round. If Barça comes out well despite the victory of Dinamo, it would seal its pass and even have a mathematical chance of being first (Although the difference in goals compared to Nagelsmann’s is huge). If today he takes another upset against the Portuguese and the results are allied against him on the last date of this group stage, he could even end up at bottom.
