Season three of thriller and coming-of-age drama Hanna is out on Amazon Prime: Rescued from a secret CIA program as a baby, Hanna was raised deep in the forest away from other people and taught languages and survival skills, rendering her a force to be reckoned with. Years later, the CIA catches scent of Hanna’s existence and she’s whisked back to a facility, but manages to escape quickly (she’s a genius). From there, the show follows Hanna as she tries to make her way back home while also learning about who she is and what it means to be a teenage girl. It’s equal parts action and self-reflection and the show, especially the cinematography, is extremely well-executed. Hanna is actually a spinoff from the 2011 movie with the same name, but takes creative liberties with the storyline.

⚽ Egypt has finished top of Group D in the Arab Cup by virtue of having fewer yellow cards than Algeria, who the Pharaohs tied 1-1 with in the final group game yesterday. The two north African nations both finished with seven points and had the same goal difference.

We now have all the quarter-final match-ups: Egypt will face Group C runners-up Jordan and Algeria play Morocco on 11 December. The other half of the draw will see Qatar play the UAE and Tunisia meet Oman on 10 December.

The Champions League group stage ends tonight:

Group E: It could be a historic night in Munich tonight with Barcelona in danger of failing to make it out of the Champions League group stage for the first time in more than 20 years. A victory for third-placed Benfica would mean that the Catalans would likely have to beat Bayern Munich on their home turf to progress to the last 16. With Bayern dominating the group and Barca a shadow of their former selves, don’t expect them to walk away from the Allianz with a victory. Both matches will be played at 10pm.

Standings: Bayern Munich (15 points) – Barcelona (7 points) – Benfica (5 points) – Dynamo Kyiv (1 point).

Group F: With Man Utd having already sewn up first place, the focus tonight will be on the game between Villarreal and Atalanta, which can both qualify in second place. Villarreal are one point ahead of the Italians, meaning they only require a draw to make it to the last 16. Meanwhile, Swiss side Young Boys can still make it to the Europa League but they’ll need a victory against Utd and Atalanta to lose. Both games kick off at 10pm.

Standings: Man United (10 points) – Villarreal (7 points) – Atalanta (6 points) – Young Boys (4 points).

Group G: Everything is still to play for in Group G. With only three points separating the four teams, any of Lille, RB Salzburg, Sevilla, and Wolfsburg can come top. Bottom of the group Wolfsburg require a victory against group leaders Lille to have a chance of making it through, while the victors of the high-stakes Sevilla v Salzburg tie will guarantee progression. Both games are at 10pm.

Standings: Lille (8 points) – RB Salzburg (7 points) – Sevilla (6 points) – Wolfsburg (5 points).

Group H: The definition of a dead rubber. Chelsea and Juventus have comfortably made it through and Zenit St. Petersburg have secured third place, sending them to the Europa League. Zenit play Chelsea and Juve meet Malmo at 7:45pm.

Standings: Chelsea (12 points) – Juventus (12 points) – Zenit (4 points) – Malmo (1 point).
