The final matchday of the Champions League league phase is nearing, with all 36 teams set to kick off on Wednesday, Feb. 22, at 3 p.m. ET on Paramount+. With just Liverpool and Barcelona clinching their places in the top eight, there’s much at stake as the competition draws to a close, especially for teams like Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain.

Due to the shift from a traditional group stage to the new Swiss format, these matches promise to be unprecedented as teams vie for position until the very last minute.

Here are the key matches to keep an eye on this Wednesday:

5. Barcelona vs. Atalanta

Barcelona has secured its place in the last 16, but a win combined with a Liverpool loss could elevate them to the top of the league phase. However, Atalanta needs a victory to guarantee their advancement to the next round. This match will undoubtedly test Barcelona’s relentless offensive against Atalanta’s formidable defense.

4. Lille vs. Feyenoord

Both Lille and Feyenoord find themselves level on 13 points and are at risk of falling from the top eight based on goal difference. A victory is crucial for both teams, especially with Concacaf stars Jonathan David and Santiago Gimenez leading the charge.

3. Juventus vs. Benfica

Juventus has already secured their knockout stage position, but Benfica faces the threat of missing out again if they lose. Both teams are eager for redemption after rocky starts to the season.

2. Manchester City vs. Club Brugge

City needs a win against Brugge to improve their odds of advancing, given their current struggles. This match could be pivotal, as the winner may take the loser’s spot in the knockout stage.

1. VfB Stuttgart vs. PSG

Despite their recent win over City, PSG faces a daunting away fixture against Stuttgart, who have been in fine form. A draw could suffice for PSG to stay in contention, but both teams have shown vulnerabilities in defense, ensuring a thrilling match is on the cards.
