The UCL league phase is over and we now know what the new format looks and feels like. But has it been a success?

The group stage at the UEFA Champions League officially came to a close on Wednesday and the standings are now final. Liverpool, Barcelona, Arsenal,

Will Barcelona reign supreme for a third year in a row? Well, we don't have long to wait as the knockout draw is set to take place on 7 February.

Madrid are currently in 16th in the standings and will need a win today along with favours elsewhere if they are to avoid playing an extra two-legged tie in the knockout phase play-offs.

Stade Brestois 29 and Real Madrid are separated by one point and three places ahead of Wednesday's UEFA Champions League meeting which will bring the league phase to a close. Kylian Mbappe will be familiar with Stade du Roudourou in Guingamp with Los Blancos and their hosts still dreaming of a top-eight finish.
