Geronimo Rulli and Juan Foyth are in second place in their group as Villarreal host Young Boys. They have one win out of three and a win on Tuesday could potentially take them to first in the group.

Nicolas Capaldo and RB Salzburg lead the group as they host last place Wolfsburg. A win for them would ensure that they qualify for the next round.

Sevilla have five Argentine players in their team and a win would keep them in second place. They won’t have Alejandro Papu Gomez who is not fit but would do have Lucas Ocampos, Erik Lamela, Marcos Acuña and Gonzalo Montiel.

FC Barcelona will be without Sergio Agüero who is out for at least three months due to a heart arrhythmia. They are away against Dynamo Kyiv in a match they need to win.

Juan Musso had a great performance against Manchester United at Old Trafford. While they took a 2-0 lead and lost 3-2, the Argentine made several great saves and was one of Atalanta’s best players. He along with Jose luis Palomino are expected to start.

Rodrigo De Paul and Angel Correa both played in a controversial 3-2 loss against Liverpool. Diego Simeone’s men travel to Anfield where they will look to get the three points.

Agustin Marchesin and FC Porto are away against last place Milan. Porto are presently on four points along with Atletico Madrid with Milan losing all three matches in their group.

Lisandro Martinez was absolutely stellar for Ajax against Borussia Dortmund when they won 4-0 against them. Nicolas Tagliafico is also in the squad as a win for Ajax would have them qualify for the next round of the Champions League.
