According to CCTV5 program list (January 19, 2024), the last round of the European Cup group match ended yesterday, and the list of the top 16 was also released. The group matches of this European Cup are full of suspense and surprises. Some teams performed well, while others were disappointing. Next, let's take a look at some data and highlights of the group match.

First, let's see how the group ranking is calculated. The group match of this European Cup is divided into six groups, each group has four teams, each team plays one game with the other three teams in the group, winning 3 points, drawing 1 point, losing 0 point. After the group game, the first two of each group will be directly promoted to the top 16, and the third of the four groups with the best results will also be promoted. If the points of two or more teams are the same, then the basis for ranking is: net goal, total goals, points in the group, net goal in the group, total goals in the group, fair competition points, and UEFA national team ranking.

Secondly, let's see which teams are the surprises of the group match. The biggest surprise was Denmark, who suffered from Eriksson's cardiac arrest in the first game, which affected their performance and lost 1-0 to Finland. In the second game, they lost to Belgium 1-2 and finished at the bottom of the table. However, in the last game, they defeated Russia 4-1. With the advantage of goal difference, they advanced to the last 16 as the second in the group, demonstrating their tenacious fighting spirit and excellent strength.

Another surprise was the Czech team, which showed a strong offensive ability in the group match. They defeated Scotland 3-0 and drew with Croatia. Although they lost 1-0 to England, they still advanced to the last 16 as the second team in the group. Their striker Sike led the Golden Boot list of the European Cup with five goals.

Another surprise was the Swiss team. They only got 4 points in the group match and qualified as the third in the group. But in the last game, they defeated Turkey 3-1, showing a good state. Shakiri, their core player, scored twice in this game and became a hero of the team.

Finally, let's see which teams are disappointed in the group match. The biggest disappointment belongs to Turkey, which is known as the dark horse of this European Cup. They have such strong players as Kalahanoolu, Tosen and Yarmaz, but they lost everything in the group game. They only scored one goal and lost eight goals, leaving the game with the worst result.

Another disappointment is the Polish team. They have one of the best strikers in the world, Lewandowski, but they only got 2 points in the group game and were eliminated as the bottom of the group. They lost 1-2 to Slovakia in the first game, and drew with Spain in the second game. In the last game of life and death with Sweden, although they equalized the score, they were defeated by their opponents in the stoppage time, and were not in the last 16.

Another disappointment is the German team. Although they were ranked second in the group to the last 16, their performance was not satisfactory. They lost 1-0 to France in the first game, and 4-2 to Portugal in the second game. In the last game against Hungary, they were led twice by their opponents, and ended up drawing 2-2, almost out of the game. Their defense and stability need to be improved.

The following is the final ranking of the European Cup group matches and the match of the last 16:
