Sure, Barcelona are through - but what about the other three teams? Sarthak Kumar quickly previews the tight race to the finish line.
This article, just like Barcelona's chances of being eliminated from the Champions League, will be small.
A win, draw or even loss for Barcelona won't matter to us, but fans that support the other three teams will look fervently on the events of the match - while at the same time cheering their own team into the knockout stages of the UEFA Champions League.
Why at the same time? Because all matches kick-off at 1945 GMT tomorrow.
So lets look at what each team in group E needs to advance.
Currently, Roma and Bayer have five points apiece, and BATE have four to their credit.
- Roma needs to win - yeah that's it. Even if Barcelona lose, Roma will advance. Roma would have 8 points and so would Bayer; however, Bayer Leverkusen have lower head-to-head points (4 points versus 1) against Roma. Because of this unusual tiebreaker rule (thanks, UEFA), Roma could even draw and they would be through as long as Barcelona do not lose.
- BATE Borisov needs to win - and hope Barcelona do not lose.
- Bayer Leverkusen needs to win and hope Roma don't win.
Didn't follow that? Here's a nice table to help you out.
| WHO SHALL ADVANCE? | Barcelona win | Barcelona draw | Barcelona lose |
| Roma win | Roma | Roma | Roma |
| Roma draw | Roma | Roma | Bayer Leverkusen |
| Roma lose | BATE Borisov | BATE Borisov | Bayer Leverkusen |
May the best team advance!
