Europe’s Biggest Names Face Tuesday Elimination
The UEFA Champions League enters the sixth and final round of matches with the fate of some of Europe’s largest names, and probably their managers, at stake. Groups A-D play on Tuesday and among the names facing Euro-oblivion on Tuesday are Juventus, Bayern Munich, AC Milan and Real Madrid.
GROUP A
Juventus still haven’t secured qualification for the next stage. They need to avoid defeat when Bayern Munich visit the Stadio del Appi onTuesday. Bordeaux have secured a surprising first place in what has been generally a much improved campaign for French clubs. If Bayern do win, Juventus will find themselves out of the tournament and sitting in third place in Serie A, and the scourge of Europe having just been fined a second time due to the racist behaviour of their fans. Saturday’s victory over Inter may have saved Ciro Ferrara in the short term, but a European exit may mean his tenure in his first ever club job is short. Bayern sit fourth in the Bundesliga which is not considered good enough, but with just four points between then and the inconsistent leading pack, there would seem to be less chance of an immediate panic in Munich than in Turin.
