The league phase of the UEFA Champions League will reach its finale on Wednesday night.



The new format has already delivered a lot of drama and there promises to be more.

All 18 Matchday 8 fixtures will kick-off at the same time.

Some teams will be battling for automatic qualification, while others look to avoid an early exit.

Manchester City’s 4-2 defeat at Paris Saint-Germain last week pushed the Premier League champions out of the ‘top 24’. This means they have it all to do as they face Club Brugge on the final day.

Pep Guardiola’s men now need to beat the Belgian side to advance to the knockout phase play-offs.

Uncertainty also looms over PSG’s play-off spot, while Aston Villa face an intriguing home clash against Celtic, as Unai Emery’s side look to get back into the top eight.

Every single UEFA Champions League game in Matchday 8 will kick-off at 20:00 UK time on Wednesday, January 29.
