On February 25, 2024, according to CCTV5 program list, the European Cup group match has come to an end, 24 teams will decide their own destiny in the final round of competition, and there are still 8 places to advance to the knockout stage. What are the ranking rules of the European Cup group match? Do points, goal difference and goal count all have an impact? Here's a detailed explanation.

The ranking rules of the European Cup group matches are as follows: four teams in each group play one game each other, and the winning team will get three points in each game, one point in a draw, and no point in a defeat. After the group game, the top two teams of each group will directly advance to the knockout stage, and the third team of the four best teams will also advance to the knockout stage, a total of 16 teams.

If there are teams in the group with the same points, the teams that qualify will be determined in the following order: first, compare the winning and losing relationship in the group, that is, the number of points, goals difference and goals. If the score is still not higher, then compare the total number of goals difference and goals difference in the group. If the score is still the same, then compare the score in fair competition, that is, the number of red and yellow cards, A yellow card will be deducted by one point and a red card by three points. If it is the same, the top ranked teams will have the priority to finish.

If the third place is compared between different groups, the team that will qualify will be determined in the following order: first compare the points, and the one with higher points will have priority to qualify. If the points are the same, then compare the total goal difference, total goals, fair competition scores, UEFA national team ranking, and so on, until the fourth best group is ranked third.

The ranking rules of the European Cup group matches seem complicated, but in fact, they are intended to reflect the strength and performance of the team as fairly as possible, to avoid malicious scoring or intentional loss, and to increase the suspense and interest of the game, so that fans pay more attention to the results and impact of each game.
