Paris Saint-Germain’s hopes of breaking through in European soccer could end earlier than usual this season.
A loss against Liverpool on Wednesday in Paris, coupled with a home win by Napoli over Red Star, would keep PSG from making it out of the group stage in the Champions League.
A look at the four groups on Wednesday:
GROUP A
Atletico Madrid and Borussia Dortmund lead the group and have a chance to advance. Dortmund needs a draw at Club Brugge, while Atletico needs a home win against Monaco.
Atletico can also advance if Club Brugge loses points against Dortmund.
GROUP B
Tottenham Hotspurs needs to beat Inter Milan at Wembley Stadium on Wednesday to keep alive ambitions of a top-two finish. That would leave the teams tied on seven points.
Barcelona has a three-point advantage at the top and will clinch first place in the group with a win over PSV, or a draw if Inter does not beat Tottenham.
GROUP C
Victories by Liverpool and Napoli would lock up the group. PSG enters the match with five points, one behind leaders Liverpool and Napoli. A victory would put PSG back in position to advance depending on its own results.
Napoli hosts a Red Star team which still has chances of advancing.
GROUP D
Group leader Porto hosts second-place Schalke in a match in which a draw could be enough for both clubs to advance if Galatasaray fails to win its match at already eliminated Lokomotiv Moscow.
A victory would secure first place for Porto.
