On February 19, 2024, CCTV5 program list, the European Cup group match has entered the final round, and 24 teams will decide their own fate in this round of competition. Some teams have locked their qualification for the knockout stage in advance, some teams need to fight at the last moment, and some teams have failed to qualify for the next stage of the game. So, how is the ranking of the European Cup group matches? Which teams are expected to qualify for the knockout rounds? Let's have a look.

The ranking rules of the European Cup group matches are as follows: the top two teams of each group and the third team of the best four groups, a total of 16 teams, will advance to the quarterfinals. If there are teams in the group with the same points, the teams that qualify will be determined in the following order: winning/losing relationship>goal difference>number of goals>score in fair competition>UEFA ranking. The most special case is that if two teams with the same points and goals meet in the last round of the group game, when the two teams still cannot divide the result, a penalty shoot out will be held to decide the team to be promoted. When comparing the ranking of the third place among different groups, the teams that qualify will be determined in the following order: points>goal difference>goals>fair competition scores>UEFA ranking.

At present, eight teams have advanced to the knockout stages, namely Italy and Wales in Group A, Belgium and Denmark in Group B, Netherlands and Austria in Group C, England and Croatia in Group D.
