D3AN Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Just finished my champions league group stage and for some reason I have finished second in my group. I drew both games with PSG and have better goal difference, goals scored, why have I not finished top? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
forameuss Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 What was the other result with PSG? 0-0? If so, they scored more away goals in the ties between you. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
D3AN Posted April 27, 2014 Author Share Posted April 27, 2014 Yeah it was 0-0, I was under the impression that away goals wouldn't factor into it during the group stages but obviously it does, cheers! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
forameuss Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Yeah, I think they do. It's a pretty annoying rule, I've had a few times where my campaign is blown completely out of the water by a heavy defeat in the first game to the side I'll be battling for third. I think taking it to away goals is going a bit far too. In such a small group, it should just be down to points and goal difference, with head to head used if you can't separate them that way.

D3AN Posted April 27, 2014 Author Share Posted April 27, 2014 Yep it's just completely done me over, been drawn against Barca in the last 16. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hluraven Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Correctly applied rules, but it can be very annoying when you suffer from it. The only bright side is as the human manager, you are much more aware of the potential of this happening than the AI and can react according during your games.

lil ole me Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Yeah i hate this rule, much more prefer the goal difference rule 1st then head to head then goals scored.....away goals should only come into it if it were exact samegoals for/against.....which numbskull at UEFA came up with this idea.
