The 2022/23 UEFA Champions League group stage ends on the final day with just four round of 16 places to go between Tuesday and Wednesday – two in Group D and one each in Groups E and F.
In addition to these final places, several groups have yet to determine the winner and the second. This final placement matters as the group winners are seeded for the Round of 16 draw and should stand a chance against a more favorable opponent (at least on paper).
The third in the Champions League group will win a consolation prize: an invitation to the Europa League qualifiers for the chance to qualify for the knockout stages of this tournament.
Among the teams aspiring to reach the 2023 final are Manchester City and PSG, both of whom are seeking their first Champions League title, while clubs like AC Milan and Inter Milan are hoping to regain some of the sparkle of past glory years.
The Sporting News brings you everything you need to know to watch Champions League action throughout the 2022/23 campaign.
