Here are the Champions League standings going into tonight’s match. The table is hot off the press, taking into account the results of both early kick-offs, which are just in and saw Benfica win the battle of the fallen giants 2-0 at Ajax, while Union Saint-Gilloise went to Galatasaray and emerged 1-0 winners. Ajax are now the only team in the competition without a single point, while Galatasaray miss out on the chance to join Bayern Munich, Arsenal and Internazionale at the top.
Chelsea and Barcelona are both just outside the promised land of the top eight, so tonight’s game at Stamford Bridge isn’t completely without jeopardy. Neither side will want to lose any more ground in the race to automatically qualify for the last 16 and bodyswerve the play-off round.
