March 17
4 points: Lille vs Chelsea
Highlight 1: 2-0 in the first leg, Chelsea stabilized?
In the first leg, Chelsea beat Lille 2-0 at home to take the lead. The Ligue 1 powerhouse needs to score at least three goals in the second leg, which is undoubtedly quite difficult, because their two top scorers, Jonathan David, have only scored 1 goal in the last 7 games, and Ilmaz suffered an 8-game goal drought.
Highlight 2: In the midst of the crisis, the Blues have won 5 consecutive victories
Since Abu was sanctioned, Chelsea have been in an even bigger crisis, with budgets for travelling away to only £20,000. However, Tuchel's team is really tough, and has won four consecutive games in all competitions, 10 wins and 1 loss in the last 11 games, and the mental strength is admirable.
Watch Point 3: Mendy continues to keep a clean sheet?
Last season, Eduardo Mendy kept nine clean sheets in 12 Champions League games, five clean sheets in six games this season and 14 clean sheets in the first 18 games of his Champions League career, which has set a record, and his goal in this game is to continue to defend Chelsea's goal.
4 points: Juve vs Villarreal
What to watch: 1-1 in the first leg, can Juve qualify at home?
In the first leg, the two teams shook hands 1-1, and although Juve scored 1 goal, the away scoring rules have been abolished, and there is no advantage at all. However, the Bianconeri have won four consecutive games in all competitions, 15 rounds of Serie A are unbeaten, and the home team has remained unbeaten in 10 games, and if they can successfully qualify, they are expected to receive 90 million euros in prize money.
Watch point 5: Vlahovich erupts again?
In the first leg, Juve winter window Vlahovic scored in the opening 33 seconds, setting a record for the fastest debut goal in Champions League history. However, he has been in a three-game goal drought in all competitions, and he did not start in the last round, so he must go all out in this game.
Highlight 6: Serie A alone seedlings or group extinction
With Inter eliminated by Liverpool, only Juve are still in the Champions League. If they can pass the level smoothly, then the Bianconeri are the only seedlings in Serie A, and if they finally lose, then the Serie A team will be destroyed!
