The date will be played in two days: eight games for this Tuesday 23 and another eight for Wednesday, November 24.
Once the November FIFA date is over, the Champions League resumes its calendar with date 5 of the group stage, matches that will be played between Tuesday 23 and Wednesday 24 November, and that could already define some classified for the round of 16.
On Tuesday the first eight games will be played at two times: two at 12:45 and six at 15:00. The teams that will have activity will be those of groups E, F, G and H, where several important commitments stand out.
For group E, a Bayern already classified as first will visit Dinamo, in a pending match. While, FC Barcelona will play their access to the round of 16 against Benfica, at the Camp Nou.
They will also confront Villarreal vs. Manchester United, for group F, in one of the most attractive matches of the day. Both are in the qualifying zone equal in points (7), but they are closely followed by Atalanta (5), who will visit the Young Boys.
Decisive date in group G, with almost all teams tied. Lille, second in the group (5), will host Salzburg, leader (7). While, Sevilla (3) are obliged to beat Wolfsburg (5), to reach the last date with options to sort.
Already in group H, Chelsea and Juventus define the team that will finish first in their zone, being already classified to the round of 16, but with only three points of difference between the two. The Italian box is first.
On Wednesday the remaining eight games will be played, but in this case with the teams of groups A, B, C and D, also in two schedules.
Manchester City vs. Paris Saint-Germain will be the match of the date. With the two virtually classified, the fight will be for who will finish first in group A. The English team leads the table, but only with one more point over the French.
In group B, a Liverpool already classified as first in their area will receive Porto, who is second and their pass to the second round is at stake. Meanwhile, in another of the most important matches of the day, Atlético de Madrid is forced to win to place second against an AC Milan in need of points, as they are bottom.
The same case is lived in group C. Ajax, which is already classified, will visit a Besiktas already eliminated. Meanwhile, in Portugal, Sporting Lisboa and Borussia Dortmund will fight to the death their qualification as second in the group. Both are even with 6 points.
Group D will end the day, with Inter Milan seeking their qualification against an eliminated Shakhtar Donetsk. For his part, the Sheriff will seek to surprise Real Madrid again in Tiraspol.
