All hopes were defeated when it came to qualifying for the knockout stages of the Champions League, but the battle for third place leading to the Europa League remained, which did not go unnoticed. any sense.

In beating Napoli (3-1), Red Star stayed in last place in Group C with four points. They have two less than Liverpool, third, who was beaten in Paris by PSG. (2: 1)

In the last group stage of December 11, Liverpool will face Napoli on Enfield, while Red Star stadium Rajko Mitic will face the champion of France, Paris Saint-Germain.

To win third place, coach coach Vladan Milojevic must beat the Parisians while losing Liverpool to his Napoli stadium. In this case, the Red Star would have seven points and Liverpool six points.

If Liverpool, they would win a victory 1 to 0, because they would have a score identical to that of the Italians, but the difference in goals, namely more the number of goals scored in the group compared to Naples is high (9-7). progressed "further.

In the event that he has a goal, each victory of two goals or more will be enough to allow Klop's team to move into the knockout phase.

The Italians would certainly win a point or a win at "Enfildu", which made the pass among the 16 best.

As for Paris Saint Germain, the victory over the Red Star in Belgrade does not in any way the gap of the passage. It would have been enough for them, provided Liverpool did not win Napoli.

It happens that three teams, Napoli, PSG and Liverpool, have nine points at the end of the group competition, which is theoretically possible (Liverpool wins Napoli and PSG are not resolved in Belgrade), a mini-table of these three teams is formed.

The order is then determined according to the following criterion: the highest number of points scored between the teams in question, the best goal difference, if they are equal, determines the number of goals scored in the matches between the three teams, and if that can not be determined who continues, then decides the highest number of goals scored among the teams in this group.
