There is something on the line, though, and not just bragging rights. As Juve and City are tied for points, the top spot in the group is still up for grabs, meaning that knockout ties are yet to be decided. To finish first theoretically grants an easier round of 16 opponent, which will be decided as Group H is tied up in the small hours of Friday morning. Tonight’s winner will likely sidestep a dreaded meeting with Real Madrid, with the loser likely to face RB Salzburg.
