The situation is aggravated because there is a direct confrontation between Benfica and Bayern Munich, who play at Estádio da Luz, in Lisbon. The Germans lead with six points and one hundred percent success. The Portuguese have four points.
“It’s a strong group and because we lost two games we need to lift our heads and react quickly. It’s a home game and the team is progressing. We’ll try to impose ourselves against Dynamo,” said Barcelona defender Piqué.
Another Spaniard to enter the field is Sevilla, who visit Lille in France in Group G. The bracket is the most balanced in the tournament so far. The leader with four points is Austria’s Salzburg, from Red Bull, who will try to impose themselves at home against Wolfsburg of Germany. The Germans have two points alongside Sevilla.
