Champions League Outlook 2013-14

As the end of the season nears, we look at our teams and where they stand in the race for European spots. For many teams it's a huge question. Teams like Tottenham are banking on a European enterance. I cannot imagine Gareth Bale staying out of Europe for another year.

England (4 berths)

In: Manchester United, Manchester City

Alive: Arsenal, Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur

Dying: Everton, Liverpool

Spain (4 berths)

In: Barcelona, Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid

Alive: Real Sociedad, Valencia, Malaga

Dying: Real Betis, Rayo Vallecano

Germany (4 berths)

In: Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund, Bayer Leverkusen

Alive: Schalke 04, SC Freiburg, Eintracht Frankfurt, Borussia Monchengladbach, Hamburg SV

Italy (3 berths)

In: Juventus, Napoli

Alive: AC Milan, Fiorentina

Dying: Inter Milan, AS Roma, Lazio, Udinese

Portugal (3 berths)

In: Benfica, FC Porto

Alive: Pacos de Ferreira, Braga

France (3 berths)

In: Paris Saint-Germain

Alive: Marseille, Lyon, Lille, St. Etienne, Nice

Some of the "In" teams are speculative with 5-6 games left some of those teams can possibly drop out, but it's very unlikely.

For the group round of 32 there is a draw, creating 8 groups of 4. As we saw this year one group had the champions from Spain, Germany, Holland, and England all in the same group.
