UEFA Champions League : Group A Table

28 November 2007 21:38

P W D L F A GD PTS

1 FC Porto 5 2 2 1 6 7 -1 8

2 Marseille 5 2 1 2 6 5 1 7

3 Liverpool 5 2 1 2 14 5 9 7

4 Besiktas 5 2 0 3 4 13 -9 6

 

Put simply, if Liverpool beat Marseille in their final group game then they will definitely go through. If they lose they will definitely go out. Complications arise should Liverpool and Marseille draw. Marseille beat Liverpool at Anfield earlier in the campaign, meaning they would edge the Reds out on the basis of that result, assuming Porto beat or draw with Besiktas in the group's other match.

 

But if Liverpool and Marseille draw and Besiktas pull off a shock by beating Porto, the Reds would go through. In this scenario, Liverpool, Marseille and Porto would all be on eight points. Liverpool would go through with the best goal difference in the head-to-head matches between the three teams.

 

UEFA Champions League : Group B Table

28 November 2007 21:36

P W D L F A GD PTS

1 Chelsea 5 3 2 0 9 2 7 11

2 Rosenborg 5 2 1 2 5 7 -2 7

3 Schalke 04 5 1 2 2 2 3 -1 5

4 Valencia 5 1 1 3 2 6 -4 4

 

Chelsea are definitely through as group winners, regardless of the result of their final match against a Valencia side who cannot progress. A home win against Rosenborg will be enough for Schalke to join the Blues in the last 16, but the Norwegian side would go through with a point away from home.

 

UEFA Champions League : Group C Table

28 November 2007 21:39

P W D L F A GD PTS

1 Real Madrid 5 2 2 1 10 8 2 8

2 Olympiakos 5 2 2 1 8 7 1 8

3 Werder Bremen 5 2 0 3 8 10 -2 6

4 Lazio 5 1 2 2 7 8 -1 5

 

All four teams can still qualify but Real Madrid and Olympiakos will be favourites as they are at home to the bottom two teams in the last matches and a draw would be enough for either to qualify. Bremen will qualify only if they win at Olympiakos. Lazio will be sure of qualification if they win in Madrid but Bremen do not win in Greece. If Bremen do win in Greece, Lazio would have to win by at least two goals in Madrid to go through.

 

UEFA Champions League : Group D Table

28 November 2007 21:39

P W D L F A GD PTS

1 AC Milan 5 3 1 1 11 5 6 10

2 Celtic 5 3 0 2 5 5 0 9

3 Shakhtar Donetsk 5 2 0 3 5 9 -4 6

4 Benfica 5 1 1 3 3 5 -2 4

 

AC Milan have sealed their place in the last 16 and a draw at home to Celtic in the last game will take them through in first place. A draw would also take Celtic through, but if the Scots lose in Milan, they will miss out on the knockout stages if Shakhtar beat Benfica at home.

 

That would leave Celtic and Shakhtar on nine points, but the Ukrainians would go through on head-to-head having beaten Celtic 2-0 at home and lost only 2-1 at Parkhead. Celtic will top the group if they win in the San Siro.

 

UEFA Champions League : Group E Table

27 November 2007 21:37

P W D L F A GD PTS

1 Barcelona 5 3 2 0 9 2 7 11

2 Rangers 5 2 1 2 7 6 1 7

3 Lyon 5 2 1 2 8 10 -2 7

4 VfB Stuttgart 5 1 0 4 6 12 -6 3

 

Barcelona will go through as group winners, and Rangers will join them in the last 16 if they draw or beat Lyon at home in the final group match. Rangers won 3-0 in Lyon earlier in the competition so a draw at Ibrox would put them through thanks to a better head-to-head record against the French team.

 

UEFA Champions League : Group F Table

27 November 2007 21:40

P W D L F A GD PTS

1 Man Utd 5 5 0 0 12 3 9 15

3 Sporting 5 1 1 3 6 8 -2 4

4 Dynamo Kiev 5 0 0 5 4 16 -12 0

 

Manchester United have taken first place in the group and Roma have secured the second spot.

 

UEFA Champions League : Group G Table

3 PSV 5 2 1 2 3 5 -2 7

4 CSKA Moscow 5 0 1 4 6 11 -5 1

 

Inter Milan have clinched top spot in the group and Fenerbahce are favourites to go through with them. PSV must beat Inter at home and hope Fenerbahce fail to beat bottom-of-the-table CSKA in Turkey to take the second place.

 

UEFA Champions League : Group H Table

P W D L F A GD PTS

1 Sevilla 5 4 0 1 11 7 4 12

3 Slavia Prague 5 1 2 2 5 13 -8 5

4 Steaua Bucharest 5 0 1 4 3 8 -5 1

 

Arsenal and Sevilla have both qualified for the last 16, with Slavia Prague taking a place in the Uefa Cup. Arsenal will finish top of the group if they beat Steaua Bucharest at home and Sevilla fail to win in Prague in the last group games.
