Tottenham Hotspur, Internazionale, SSC Napoli, Paris Saint Germain, Liverpool FC, Olympique Lyonais and Shakhtar Donetsk are all vying for places in their respective groups to qualify for the Champions League and those who cannot qualify will have to suffice with action on thursdays in the Europa League.
Group A
Atletico Madrid: A must win away game at Club Brugge to top the group, but they have qualified.
Borussia Dortmund: The Germans have qualified and will top the group if they grab a win away to AS Monaco, and Atletico Madrid fail to beat Club Brugge at the same time.
Club Brugge: Will compete in the Europa League.
AS Monaco: Have been eliminated after managing only 1 draw in 5 games while losing the other 4.
The group is pretty straightforward with not much room for change.
Group B
FC Barcelona: The Catalans were the first team to have qualified as group winners after winning 4 games and drawing 1 away to Inter Milan.
Tottenham Hotspur: The North London side will have to match or better Inter Milan's result against PSV Eindhoven on Matchday 6 to go through to the knockout stages, so a victory away to FC Barcelona would guarantee progression.
Inter Milan: The Italian side will have to better Tottenham's result against an in-form FC Barcelona side on December 11, when they host PSV Eindhoven at the San Siro.
PSV Eindhoven: The Dutch side have been eliminated from Europe with results going against them even after strong performances.
Competition is high and there is just one spot up for grabs with two teams aiming for it.
Group C
Napoli: Napoli are guaranteed to go through if they avoid defeat at Liverpool on December 11. They will also be certain to go through to the knockout stages if PSG loses to Red Star Belgrade. A victory away at Anfield also makes the top spot certain while a defeat to Liverpool by a 1-0 scoreline, by a two-goal margin or more will most likely result in Napoli finishing in the Europa spot as they would need PSG to lose away at Red Star Belgrade.
Paris Saint-Germain: A must-win at Red Star Belgrade to be sure of going through to the next round, but it would take Napoli losing 3-4 or a higher-scoring one-goal loss at Liverpool for Paris Saint Germain to be knocked out of the qualifying spots. PSG can only top their group if they win at Red Star Belgrade and Napoli fail to beat Liverpool.
Liverpool FC: The Merseyside club must beat Napoli 1-0 or by a two-goal margin to guarantee to go through to the next round. If PSG loses or draw at Red Star Belgrade, any victory would send Liverpool through tot he next round. If Liverpool beat Napoli by a 2-1 scoreline or higher-scoring one-goal win, and PSG beat Red Star Belgrade, Liverpool will finish third.
Red Star Belgrade: They have been eliminated from the Champions League but they can still make it to the Europa League if they manage to win at home against PSG and Liverpool lose to SSC Napoli.
Group D
FC Porto: The Portuguese side have won the group in some style.
Schalke 04: The German side have finished as runners-up.
Galatasaray: Galatasaray are out and need a win at home to Porto on December 11 to confirm their place in Europa League football, although that would also be certain if Lokomotiv Moscow fails to win in Germany against Schalke.
Lokomotiv Moscow: The Russian team must win at Schalke and hope that Galatasaray do not get a victory at home against FC Porto to keep the European dream alive.
Group E
FC Bayern Munchen: Are through to the Knockout rounds and need only a point at Ajax to top their group.
Ajax Amsterdam: They have done pretty well and qualified for the round of 16 after a string of impressive performances and will win the group if they manage to beat Bayern Munich at home.
SL Benfica: They have confirmed Europa League football and their position is not going to change irrespective of the outcome of their match.
AEK Athens: They have been eliminated from Europe after failing to win or draw any one of their games.
Group F
Manchester City: They are through to the Round Of 16 but need a solitary point at home to Hoffenheim to top their group.
Olympique Lyonnais: They will need a point away to Ukraine at Shakhtar Donetsk to make it to the round of 16. They will also be in a position to top the group if they win away to Shakhtar and City manage to lose to Hoffenheim at home.
Shakhtar Donetsk: They have a must-win game at home to Lyon if they want to go through to the next round, while a point there would send them into the Europa League.
1899 Hoffenheim: They are out of the Champions League and must win at Manchester City and pray that Shakhtar lose at home to Olympique Lyonnais to make it into the Europa League.
Group G
Real Madrid CF: Madrid have qualified as group winners even after a shaky start to their season.
AS Roma: The Italian side are through to the Knockout rounds in second place.
Viktoria Plzen: They are out of the Champions League but they can go through to the Europa League if they are able to match or better CSKA's result.
CSKA Moscow: CSKA have been eliminated from the elite competition and they will have to better Plzen's result in the last group game of the season to drop into the Europa League.
Group H
Juventus FC: The Italians have qualified and they must win away to Young Boys in Switzerland to be certain of topping their group, but they would also top the group if Manchester United fail to beat Valencia.
Manchester United FC: They are through and will be able to top the group if they win away at Valencia and Juventus fail to beat Young Boys.
Valencia CF: Europa League football is assured and their hope of a Champions League qualification is dead.
BSC Young Boys: The side from Switzerland have been eliminated from Europe after they managed to grab only a draw from their 5 games.
