According to CCTV5, the European Cup has entered the knockout phase, and 16 teams have launched a fierce competition. In the group stage, the qualification of some teams is not clear and needs to be determined through complex algorithms. So, how is the ranking of teams in the European Cup calculated? What kind of mathematical games are hidden behind this?

The team ranking of the European Cup is divided into two levels, one is the ranking within the group and the other is the ranking between the groups. The ranking in the group is mainly determined by the team's points. The higher the points, the higher the ranking. If two or more teams have the same points, they need to be ranked in the following order: points of direct confrontation, net goals of direct confrontation, goals of direct confrontation, net goals of group matches, goals of group matches, points of fair competition (red and yellow cards), and UEFA national team ranking. If it is still unable to distinguish between the superior and the inferior, a lottery will be drawn.

The ranking between groups is mainly to determine the qualification of the best third team. According to the rules of the European Cup, in the group stage, the first two teams of each group will directly advance to the knockout stage, and the remaining six third teams will be sorted out according to the points.
