Real Madrid is one of those teams, with just six points from a possible 12. Unfortunately, they go to Liverpool, sitting at the top of the standings with 12 points. A big win is required to put them in a position to finish in the top eight.

Barcelona can move to 12 points with a win over Brest. The Catalan side likely needs just one win from their final three games to secure a top-eight finish if they beat the French side.
The two other Spanish teams in action need wins, sitting in the bottom half of the standings. Like their city rivals, Atletico Madrid sits on six points and faces Sparta Praha. Girona has much to do, with just one win from four games. They take on the Austrian side, the Sturm Graz, which has yet to register a point.
