00:00The final match day of the Champions League group stage is here,
00:03and FC Barcelona is still dreaming of finishing as group leaders.
00:09After an epic 4-5 comeback victory against Benfica in Lisbon,
00:13the Catalan giants arrive with an impressive six-game winning streak.
00:17But beware, their fate isn't entirely in their hands.
00:22Here's the situation.
00:23Barca sits in second place with 18 points, trailing Liverpool,
00:27who tops the table with a perfect 7-for-7 record and 21 points.
00:32Meanwhile, their next opponent, Atalanta, is in seventh place with 14 points,
00:37and desperately needs a win to secure a spot in the round of 16 and avoid the playoffs.
00:42So, what does Barca need to claim the top spot?
00:46First, they must beat Atalanta.
00:49Without that victory, finishing first is impossible.
00:52Second, Liverpool needs to lose to PSV.
00:55Difficult? Absolutely.
00:57The Reds have won every match so far, but a slip-up against the Dutch side,
01:01who currently have 11 points, remains a possibility.
01:04If both scenarios align, Barca and Liverpool would be tied on points,
01:09but the Catalans would take the lead thanks to their superior goal difference.
01:12It's a tough challenge for Barca, but not an impossible one.
01:16Will they pull it off? The answer is just around the corner.
01:25So, what does Barca need to claim the top spot?
