UEFA Champions League Match Day 4 should see teams set themselves up to advance to knockout stage
After the first half of the UEFA Champions League Match Day 4, we already know four of the 16 knockout stage participants.
Bayern Munich, Manchester City, and Liverpool can all join Chelsea, Sevilla, Barcelona, and Juventus in the draw for the Round of 16 with wins today, which all should do.
But other teams, such as Ajax and Atletico Madrid, can set themselves up in good position to advance as well with victories Wednesday in the late games.
I am all about the favorites today.
