Manchester City beat AC Milan 3-0 at home and Real Madrid beat Ajax 4-0 away, making the situation of the death group clear.
Blue moon ranked first in the group with five consecutive wins, Real Madrid ranked second with three wins, one draw and one loss, AC Milan ranked third with two draws, and Ajax ranked bottom with one draw.
After the fifth round, Manchester City advanced to the top of the group, while Real Madrid advanced to the second. AC Milan and Ajax will fight in the last round to decide who can take the third place in the group to participate in this season's Europa League.
In the last round of the group, Manchester City will face Real Madrid away.
Although the two teams have qualified ahead of time, Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho is still at the press conference after the game against Ajax, said the galaxy warship will make full preparations at home, waiting for the arrival of the cold.
"It's not about qualification, it's not about points, it's about honor and dignity. Everyone of us will do our best to defend the dignity of our team at the Bernabeu stadium."
The domineering challenge made him appear on the front page of the media the next day. The fateful battle between him and alpine cold has become a duel that countless fans are fond of talking about. Everyone even believes that the two teams will completely open their hands and feet without qualification, and it is likely to become a wonderful peak battle.
Allegri, by contrast, is not in such a good position.
Not long after the end of the game, AC Milan announced that the midfield player Boateng, who left early, would be absent from the last round of the group stage due to injury. The diagnosis was a sprained right ankle.
For the most eye-catching player this season, the fans of AC Milan love him more and more. Even in the second half of the 3-0 loss to Manchester City, Boateng couldn't play any more. When he asked to leave, more than 2000 Rossoneri fans who came to the away game applauded him.
Because at the city stadium, Boateng is one of the best players in the team.
Compared with Pato, Seedorf, Gattuso and Pirlo's disastrous performances, Boateng, Jankulovski, Nesta and Tiago Silva all performed well. Without their excellent performance, AC Milan would be doomed to a disastrous defeat.
As for the 33 year old left back jankulovsky, he has not been in the peak state when he played under the high cold team. However, as a veteran, although he failed to completely freeze Sanchez, there is no lack of outstanding performance. He has defused Sanchez's threat many times and created several attacks.
One of the most threatening is that in the 22nd minute, the Czech forward to the front rib straight plug, but Pato failed to react at the first time, resulting in catching up with the ball failed to create a threat, wasted a wonderful pass.
Alegre told the media that Boateng's injury is a big blow to AC Milan. He also said that this defeat will make him more aware of the problems of the team.
All the fans who care about and are familiar with AC Milan know what he is talking about, but more people do not want to see this happen out of emotional considerations.
Surprisingly, the Italian media are more tolerant of Allegri's defeat. They think that AC Milan have done their best in the away game, but it's a pity that their strength is not good enough to threaten Manchester City. It's understandable to lose, which has nothing to do with Allegri.
If we have to say who is more unfortunate, it is undoubtedly Ajax who bears the brunt.
Just after the end of the third round of the group match, the Dutch football association announced that Ajax striker Suarez, who failed to break the deadlock for a long time in the previous round of the Dutch league match against PSV, suddenly lost his mind and bit PSV player Bakar on the shoulder.
This brought Suarez seven domestic suspensions, but fortunately it had nothing to do with the final round of the Champions League group stage.
The Dutch league has long been less attractive than it was at that time. However, AJAX has been assigned to the group of death this season, with Manchester City, Real Madrid and AC Milan in the same group, so every move is also attractive. Suarez's absurd behavior is also notorious with the Dutch football association's ban.
In addition to the heavy penalty from the Dutch football association, AJAX also issued an official statement, saying that it has severely punished Suarez's absurd behavior in the team, and that it will not appeal against the Dutch football association's decision.
In other words, Suarez will be suspended until February next year.
Perhaps the whole thing is too absurd. Suarez's behavior has also been reported by the media, and has been nicknamed "vampire bite", so that the Uruguayan striker has attracted the attention of the media and fans all over the world.
But it was followed by Suarez's cold in the transfer market.
Before this incident, the Uruguayan striker, with his outstanding performance in the world cup in South Africa, was once worth as much as 40 million euros, and Ajax once called out 50 million euros, which could not meet the team's requirements and demanded higher transfer fees. However, it is precisely for this reason that Suarez will stay in the Netherlands this summer.
But now, with the spread of the vampire bite, all teams have doubts about Suarez's temperament, including Real Madrid, Manchester United, Barcelona and many other big teams have drawn a line with him.
The Dutch people's Daily reported that even Tottenham Hotspur, who had a strong interest in Suarez, began to hesitate, worried about Suarez's psychological condition and the potential impact of his image on the club.
"Also no longer eager to move in during the winter break is Liverpool
"They were very close to Suarez at one time, but according to the latest news, Liverpool are reconsidering whether Suarez's transfer is in the interest of the club
However, according to the English sun, the reason why Liverpool put Suarez's transfer on hold is that the Reds have no money. "Although Ajax has reduced the psychological price to 30 million euros, Liverpool are only willing to give 15 million euros at most, which is far from Ajax's psychological price, It's not even as good as Tottenham's 20 million euros
"An important reason for Liverpool's dilemma is that the club can't give Ajax the price he asked for, let alone the 30 million euro he asked for. Even if it's 15 million euro, Liverpool will have to sell their players first to raise money. This is also the biggest obstacle between the two teams."

While the media all over the world have been bitten by Suarez's vampires and speculation about transfer, the Premier League is still playing at the same pace.
After playing AC Milan, Manchester City went away to Stoke on the weekend.
In the 15th round of the Premier League game, blue moon scored two goals in the first ten minutes and kept a 2-0 lead until the end of the game, leaving the game completely.

But in the 30th minute, Birmingham launched a counterattack to create a corner. High school forward Nikki forced kompani to head the ball and level the score.
It wasn't until the 84th minute of the second half that city scored again. Gareth bell, assisted by Harry Kane, scored the winning goal and surpassed it again.
The score of 2-1 was maintained until the end of the game, and Manchester City were promoted smoothly.
In the other three games of the final eight knockout, Ipswich from the British Champions League unexpectedly beat West Bromwich to make it to the semi-finals, while Arsenal beat Wigan Athletic 2-0 at home to make it to the semi-finals.
What's really surprising is that hammers helped West Ham beat Manchester United 4-0 at home.
Ferguson played with a half main team and a half substitute team in this game. Unexpectedly, the whole game was suppressed by the West Ham Arab League, and the hammers scored two goals in the first half, taking the lead.
After Yi Bian's second half, former Chelsea player Charlton Cole scored twice to expand the score again.
Four goals defeat not only let Manchester United out of the Carling Cup, but also let the Red Devils suffer unprecedented pressure.
Three days later, in the 16th round of the Premier League, Manchester United challenged Blackpool.
Almost in the Carling Cup knockout against the hammers, Manchester United were two goals behind again in the first half, and Blackpool ended the first half with an incredible 2-0 lead at home.
But in the second half, Ferguson replaced Giggs and msitalian, who came back from injury. The result was that the two players and Scholes co directed the last 20 minutes of reversal.
In the end, United reversed Blackpool 3-2 with Tevez's second goal and Hernandez's goal.
At the same time another game, Manchester City against Bolton, the two sides in the first half into a one-to-one draw.
However, after Yi Bian's second half, Benzema took the lead in scoring for Manchester City. Then Bolton's centre back Gary Cahill fouled the defence and was sent off. After that, Xavi Alonso and substitute Sturridge scored two goals in a row and beat Bolton 4-1 to win the match and get three points.
The Premier League has been playing for nearly half of the season and the situation is very clear.
After 16 rounds, Manchester City ranked the top of the table with an unbeaten record of 16 games and got 48 points, far away from other league competitors and 15 points ahead of second place Manchester United.
Red Devils United have been stumbling this season, winning only nine of their 16 games, drawing six, losing one to Manchester City, scoring 33 points and ranking second in the league table.
At the beginning of the league, Chelsea were very impressive, but in the middle of the league, Scolari's team seemed to be in trouble, losing a total of four games, which made Chelsea only get 30 points, ranking third in the table.
The Gunners' problem is that the team is not stable enough. They either lose or win. There are only two draws, nine wins, two draws and five losses, which makes Arsenal the same as Tottenham Hotspur with 29 points, but the Gunners rank fourth with the advantage of goal difference.
The situation of the Red Army and Liverpool this season is the most surprising. Hodgson's team only took the eighth place, even worse than Bolton and Sunderland, which makes Hodgson's position difficult to keep.
After 16 rounds, Manchester City are still the favourites to win the Premier League.
In the Champions League, the cold team also won five games in a row in the group stage, only one round away from the group stage.
That's going to be Real Madrid away.
