Hello world and welcome to this Champions League clockwatch.
As Flight of the Conchords once sang, it’s business time. After today’s matches, there will be just two rounds of matches remaining in the league phase, so time is running out for teams to make the top eight automatic qualification spots or the other places (nine-24) for the play-off round to reach the knockouts.

Last year, 11 points was enough to reach the play-offs and 16 points enough to make the top eight, so that is a rough guide for what this year’s hopefuls will be trying to achieve.

Currently the half-time scores are Qarabag 1-1 Ajax and Villarreal 0-1 FC Copenhagen, so those are reflected below as if they are results.
