Original title: Champions League group situation 2: Manchester United self-destruct the future, Paris's life hangs in the balance, Juve fear Serie A alone?
With the third round of the Champions League group stage coming to an end this morning, the first three rounds of the Champions League group stage of the new season have come to an end.
Although there are still three rounds left before the end of the group stage, as far as the current situation is concerned, the qualification situation of some clubs is already very clear, on the contrary, the qualification situation of some clubs has reached the point where their lives hang in the balance.
In the last issue, we analyzed the qualification situation of Group A-D, and in general, except for Group B, the qualification situation of the other three groups is very clear.
Let's analyze the format of the remaining four groups:
Group E
Third round result: Chelsea 3-0 Rennes, Sevilla 3-2 Krasnodar.
With Sevilla, the "king of the Europa League", defeating Krasnodar 3-2, the qualification situation for Group E has basically become clear, and Sevilla and Chelsea now have seven points.
Chelsea's group stage has been very successful this season, and after three rounds, the qualification situation is very good.

Of course, a big part of this is because Chelsea's new goalkeeper Mendy is very reliable right now.
For now, there is little suspense in this group, and if nothing else, Chelsea and Sevilla FC will work together to advance to the last 16.
And Rennes and Krasnodar fought for third place in the remaining matches.
Group F
Third round result: Club Brugge 0-3 Borussia Dortmund, Zenit 1-1 Lazio
The Bundesliga Hornets' group this season is clearly much better than before.
It seems that everyone is very close, but with the stay of Haaland and Sancho's brother, Dortmund has ushered in another wave of youth storm.
After losing to the Serie A Blue Eagles in the first round, the Hornets adjusted their form in time and took two consecutive cities, currently ranking first in the group with 6 points, considering that the Hornets will be two hosts and one away in the next three rounds, Dort has a very good chance of qualifying at present.
It is indeed a pity that the Blue Eagles did not take Zenit this round, after all, Inzaghi Junior's team are only one point away from Club Brugge.
Now the next fourth round will be a watershed moment for this group, and this group has a strong tendency to become a new group of death in the fourth round.
Club Brugge's chances of qualifying from the Blue Eagles are not much different now, and it is likely that the two teams will fight until the final round.
Zenit is basically a GG, but consider making the whole group a little more chaotic, and then fish in troubled waters to qualify for the Europa League.
Group G
Third round result: Ferencváros 1-4 Juve, Barca 2-1 Dynamo Kiev
After Group G was fixed by Juve and Barca, the other two teams were basically spectators.
At present, there is basically no suspense in Barca's three wins, and if there is still suspense, it is only the second leg with Juventus to see who is the real older and more demon.
After the return of Cristiano Ronaldo, the old woman of Serie A changed her previous decline, regained her form in the league, and continued her good form to the Champions League.
At present, although the technique and tactics of sleeping skin still need to be improved, you can still see the strength of Juve in the new season, in general, Juve is basically no problem to qualify, and more problems are still in the run-in between Juve's whole team and sleeping skin.
Ferencváros and Dynamo Kiev can now study each other, as the second leg between the two teams will most likely determine which club plays in the Europa League.
Group H
Third round results: Manchester United 1-2 Istanbul, Leipzig 2-1 Greater Paris
With Manchester United's upset defeat to Istanbul, this group is now arguably the most chaotic of all, even surpassing Real Madrid and Inter's Group B.
There is no other reason for this, because all the current matches in this group are divided between winners and losers.
On this point, you can refer to Group F in the 13/14 season, when Arsenal, Marseille, Dort, Napoli were in a group, and all the games were won and lost, and the four teams were all 12 points. In the end, elimination can only be achieved by goal difference and win-loss relationship.
So, now the situation of qualifying for this group is getting more and more serious.
Considering that each team will have a rare chance to kick (during the international break) in the last three rounds, Paris and Leipzig will surely be well prepared when they face Manchester United again in the second leg.
On the other hand, although Manchester United are now temporarily at the top of the table with goal difference, considering that Manchester United's form is very fluctuating now, it is not surprising what kind of score Manchester United played in the next game.
Of course, Istanbul, with its 3 points, also has a chance.
Overall, Chelsea, Sevilla, Barca, Juve, Borussia Dortmund are all in a very good situation.
And the qualification situation of Manchester United, Leipzig, Grand Paris, Lazio, Brugge and Istanbul is likely to be clear in two rounds.
And like Zenit, Ferencvaros, Dynamo Kiev, Rennes, Krasnodar are basically hopeless.
Well, the situation of qualifying for the third round of the Champions League has been analyzed, and the day after tomorrow will bring you the preview of the 8th round of the Premier League.
