Champions League permutations: Who can go through and get knocked out?

- Categories : News

The UEFA Champions League group stage is heading towards its conclusion, with only two matches left to play.

Some groups are tighter than others and although some teams have already qualified or been knocked out, there’s still plenty still to play for as we progress towards knowing the winners and losers of each group.

As a reminder, the group winners will be seeded for the last-16 draw, with the runners-up qualifying unseeded and third-place sides dropping down into the Europa League knockout stages.

And, if teams are level on points, their head-to-head records, not goal difference, are what separates them.

Got that? Great. Vimoul guides you through what can happen as we approach matchweek five.

Champions League permutations at a glance

Already through to round of 16: Bayern Munich, Club Bruges, Manchester City, Napoli, Real Madrid

Could see progress to knockout round on matchday 5: Benfica, Chelsea, Borussia Dortmund, Inter, RB Leipzig, Liverpool, Marseille, PSG, Porto, Salzburg, Sporting, Tottenham
