The MUEN reported yesterday that City haven't yet clinched top spot in the group. Seeing as City are 3 points ahead of Dortmund with a better head to head this is incorrect irrespective of tonight's results.

"Manchester City find themselves in a luxurious position heading into their last Champions League group stage match of the season.

Although top spot is not yet secured in Group G, a major collapse from the Blues against Sevilla is the only way they would be prevented from facing a second-placed qualifier in the round of 16."

These are the criteria in order for clubs level on point at the group stage.

UEFA Champions League criteria for clubs level on points

1. Points in head-to-head matches among tied teams;
2. Goal difference in head-to-head matches among tied teams;
3. Goals scored in head-to-head matches among tied teams;
4. Away goals scored in head-to-head matches among tied teams;
5. Goal difference in all group matches;
6. Goals scored in all group matches;
7. Away goals scored in all group matches;
8. Wins in all group matches;
9. Away wins in all group matches;
10. Disciplinary points (red card = 3 points, yellow card = 1 point, expulsion for two yellow cards in one match = 3 points);
11. UEFA club coefficient

The MUEN (bar Stuart Brennan) are mentally disadvantaged.

I'm sure that Sevilla side is actually the Irish squad.
Jordan and Delaney in midfield and Bono in goal

It could give them the edge...

 

[JewelZee]

That turncoat **** Delaney plays for Denmark. I would love to see one of our lads leave one on him tonight. Not enough to injure, just to give him a few sore days.

So he's in the Declan Rice/Grealish club?
