Chelsea pushed to the brink of death in the Champions League round of 16

Being pushed down to second place, plus the fact that English clubs all won the top spot, pushed Chelsea into the death door in the 1/8 round of the Champions League.

Last night's 1-1 draw against Atletico Madrid was disastrous for Chelsea, as they finished the group stage in 2nd place. After 6 matches, Chelsea have the same 11 points as AS Roma but have a lower head-to-head record.

This puts Chelsea at great risk of facing the "big guys" in the Champions League round of 16. Specifically, up to this point, people have determined the top 7 teams: MU (group A), PSG (group B), AS Roma (group C), Barca (group D), Man City (group F), Besiktas (group G) and Tottenham (group H).

Only Group E has not yet determined the leader. Before the final round, Liverpool have the advantage of being at the top of the group and 1 point ahead of Sevilla. That means that if they beat Spartak Moscow, they will automatically take the number 1 position.

In case Liverpool leads Group E, Chelsea can only meet 3 teams in the Champions League Round of 16: PSG, Barcelona and Besiktas. According to the rules, clubs from the same country and group will not have to face each other in this round.

It can be seen that 2/3 of the opponents that Chelsea can face in the next round (PSG, Barcelona) are all "monsters" in Europe. Besiktas, after their performance in the group stage, also showed that they are not easy opponents.

Not only Chelsea, even the English clubs that have topped the group are at risk of facing the "monster" because Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and Juventus all only finished the group stage in second place.
