Do-or-die matches
The day’s marquee matchup has an extra edge, as both Bayern and PSG desperately need the three points. The Germans currently sit in 17th place with six points, while the French side has disappointed with only four points, leaving them in 25th place and outside the playoff spots.
Another crucial match will be Feyenoord vs. Manchester City. The Dutch team has six points but is in 21st place due to a -3 goal difference. Meanwhile, Manchester City, despite being 10th in the Champions League standings, is coming off a streak of five consecutive losses and needs this victory more than ever.
