Atalanta are now 3-0 up on Sturm Graz, and that’s going to put them in a decent position for one of those top-eight positions. Ademola Lookman got the fourth in the 90th minute before Marco Brescianini got another. Sturm’s outside chance of making the top 24 is gone.

The seventh of eight weeks, and against many’s predictions, rather a lot to play for. Not only are there play-offs to avoid, or play-offs to seek refuge in, there’s the fact that the group stage also shapes the knockouts by using seeding to reward good group performances. So, plenty on tonight and tomorrow before next week sees 18 (eighteen) ties played at once.

The permutations are complicated but a win against Lille would see Liverpool through to the knockouts, no play-off. Beyond that, even Barcelona, despite kicking off in second against Benfica might have to wait for the final round to know their fate. They need a win and for other results to favour them, including that of Aston Villa in the early game with Monaco.

Bayer Leverkusen away to Atlético Madrid, fourth v 11th could go some way to deciding if either go to the last 16 or straight to the quarter-finals. Should Celtic beat Young Boys, the worst team in the group stage, then the play-offs beckon.

main events
OK, here comes Jerry Marsden.which means it's almost time for the 8pm kickoff. There's a lot at stake in tonight's game, and a lot of substitutions.
Final score: Monaco 1-0 Aston Villa
Villa fell behind early on with a goal from Wilfried Singo and could not hold their own against a very good Monaco team. John Duran's last gasp overhead didn't win the game. Villa must beat Celtic next week while Monaco travel to Inter.
Final score: Atalanta 5-0 Sturm Graz
Atalanta currently have a 3-0 win over Sturm Graz, which will put them in a good position to be one of the top eight. Ademola Lookman scored the fourth goal in the 90th minute and Marco Brescianini added another. Sturm's chances of finishing in the top 24 are now gone.
On the other hand, in another previous gameAtalanta leads Sturm Graz 1-0. This will move the team into third place, but there will be a lot of football played in this match. Villa are in danger of falling out of the top eight. Monaco could advance to ninth place. There's a lot to play with. Thank you, Uefa, thank you!
I'm not planning a villa in a principality.
