When multiple teams have similar points, how to determine their final ranking has become a hot topic. In this case, UEFA has a set of clear rules to determine the ranking order.
First, if two or more teams have the same points, the direct conversation results between them will be compared first. If this standard cannot be distinguished, their total net goal will be compared next. If the ranking still cannot be determined, their scores in all group matches will be compared.

If the ranking cannot be determined by all the above criteria, it will be finally determined by fair competition points or lottery.

The teams must go all out in every game, because every goal and every defense may become the key to their fate.
