On May 8, 2024, according to CCTV5 program list, with the fierce competition in the European Cup group match, fans pay special attention to the calculation method of the group match ranking and the conditions for the third place in each group to qualify. In this European Cup, the ranking of the group matches is calculated on the following basis: the winner gets 3 points in each match, the two sides each get 1 point in a draw, and the loser does not score. If there are teams in the group with the same points, the ranking will be determined according to the order of the winning/losing relationship, goal difference, number of goals, score in fair competition and UEFA ranking. For the third team in each group, the conditions that are expected to qualify are more complex. In this competition, the third place of the four best teams among the six teams will be promoted to the knockout stage. This decision is based on points, goal difference, goals, fair play scores (number of red and yellow cards) and UEFA rankings.

The following is a hypothetical data table that shows how to calculate rankings based on these criteria:

In the actual game, the third team in each group must wait for the end of all group games before deciding whether they can qualify. This system increases the uncertainty of the game, and also brings more suspense and discussion space for fans.

With the group match going on, we will see which teams can rely on their own strength and a little luck to reach the knockout stage from the third place in the group and continue their European Cup journey.
