2nd in group qualified, 1st not yet

Just to be clear, I totally know how this works, it's just quite rare and I thought it's pretty interesting for a fun post when all the ESL shenanigans are going on!

Edit: This is happening in the 9th season.

Just to see if I understand, because this is fun. PSG own the tie break with your team, but Bayern own the tie break with PSG. You have to play Bayern and PSG have to play Anderlecht? So you can beat Bayern and overtake them, but cannot finish ahead og PSG. So they are qualified?

Phew.

It probably looks stranger to folk in the UK where goal difference is the deciding factor.  I believe a good percentage of competitions outside of the UK, including the Continental competitions are decided on head-to-head after points, and this will be the cause of this slight anomaly here I'm guessing.

Late reply here, but I think you are spot on!
