Round four of the group stages brings a host of intriguing storylines
The business end of the group stages is upon us on Paramount+. Five teams -- Bayern Munich, Red Bull Salzburg, Juventus, Liverpool and Ajax -- can qualify for the round of 16 this week while a host of other sides are fighting just to stay in the competition. Here's what to keep an eye out for.
In what is threatening to be a meltdown season for Massimiliano Allegri and Juventus, the Champions League is the great lead box that, for now, is keeping its inhabitants safe. Three games have brought three wins but we should start with some swift caveats. Malmo may just be the worst team in the competition while the Chelsea victory stands out for all the wrong reasons. It was one of the precious few games where they looked like the defensive force of old, serving to juxtapose just how leaky they've been at the back the rest of this season.
