Already the time of the Champions League dams on Tuesday, February 11 and Wednesday, February 12 with several French clubs concerned.
After a very intense league phase which offered a huge suspense, the Champions League made its comeback this week with the dams which will allow the winners to join the eight clubs already qualified for the knockout stages. Among the clubs concerned, three are French with PSG, Brest and Monaco. Unfortunately, the draw was not favorable to the Ligue 1 clubs since Paris and Brest clashed with an overwhelming 3-0 Parisian victory during the first leg while AS Monaco will have to get rid of the Benfica Portuguese. We will also carefully follow the return match between Manchester City and Real Madrid after the Spanish victory in English land in a crazy match (2-3).

The matches were decided by a draw made at the end of August and based on a system of hats, making it possible to preserve a certain equity in the course.
The Champions League then finds a semblance of normality at the end of this mini championship. One semblance only since the teams finished in the first 8 places qualify directly for knockout stages, with the teams classified between the 9th and 24th places, which will have to go through dams in a round-trip format. Previously, the final phase of the Champions League started directly with quarter -finals.
Another notable difference: the less well classified teams (between places 25 to 36) are eliminated from the competition and none of them is drafted in Europa League.

The third will be in the opposite part of the fourth, ect …
