The Football Champions League has long been the most popular tournament in the world for club teams. Spectacularity of the games, a large number of fans, the presence of titled participants, tournament layouts - these are the main components of the success of this cup. A lot of people not only visit stadiums, but also watch matches on TV or on the Internet.
The current Champions League 2017/2018 tournament started back in July with the qualifying rounds. Already on October 31 and November 1, the matches of the 4th round in the group stage will take place.
Round 4 is, as always, decisive for further layouts. The participants are determined who will fight for the exit from the group to the end and those who have practically taken off. Rounds 3 and 4 are kind of paired and the same teams play in them. Therefore, it turns out that the second game is a return game and takes place on the field of the previous opponent.
Among all the matches in the 4th round, the games in Basel, Rome, Seville, Naples and London stand out.
Basel (Switzerland) - CSKA (Russia)
CSKA will have to rehabilitate itself after an indistinct match in Moscow, in which the army team lost in all respects. They need to win, no matter what. After a good game in the Russian Championship against Zenit, Muscovites are able to win.
Roma (Italy) - Chelsea (England)
Probably the most interesting match for the fans will take place in the capital of Italy. At least you can tune in to this, considering the result of the game in London two weeks ago. Then Chelsea and Roma played an effective 3-3 draw.
Sevilla (Spain) - Spartak (Russia)
The champions of Russia will go to Seville with the rank of one of the leaders of the group. And the victory will practically solve all the issues of qualifying from the group. Moreover, the Spartak team improved greatly with the return of captain Denis Glushakov.
Napoli (Italy) - Manchester City (England)
In another city of Italy, the question of Napoli will be resolved: is this team worthy of qualifying from the group? In the event of another loss, it will be very difficult for the Neapolitans to reach the playoff round. But the opponent is clearly on the move.
Tottenham (England) - Real (Spain)
In the capital of England, the winner of the Champions League of the last two seasons, Real Madrid. Two weeks ago, the teams went their separate ways, and now Tottenham may well take first place in the group.
The rest of the matches also have a certain intrigue, but much less than the ones listed. Only in two matches in Portugal interesting things can happen. Juventus beat Sporting at home with big problems, and Leipzig will come to visit Porto.
