Why have Celtic qualified with +1 goal difference when Man U have +3 and on the same points ?

the head to head results is used as the first tie-breaker at the UEFA Champions' League. as both Manchester United & Glasgow Celtic are tied with 3 goals each after both meetings, Glasgow Celtic has the better head to head record coz they scored 2 of the goals at Old Trafford, Manchester on matchday 1.\n\nany goals scored at away ground is consider as double, so Glasgow Celtic is above Manchester United & they have secured a place in the knock-out stage regardless of what happened when Manchester United host SL Benfica on matchday 6 in December 2006.

the tie-breaking criteria is as follows:\n\n1-goal difference (goals in favor - goals against) overall\n2-goals in favor overall\n3-goals against overall\n4-result in game held between tied teams\n5-goal difference between tied teams\n6-goals in favor between tied teams\n7-coin toss\n\nas you can see it is very unlikely this could happen....

Mate, I share you depression being a Man Utd fan myself. If it is any consolation, I don't think that United would have made up the seven points even if they had beaten Sunderland. But to draw at Old Trafford against a team that is bottom of the table, that is low.\n\nWent to the pub to have a couple of pints, and it helped some. Will spot you a drink if I can, as a fellow Red Devil. There is always next season!

Juventus: 9 wins - 2 draws - 0 losses = 29 points - 9 point deduction = 20 points which is still 3rd place so far. #1 team has 22 pts and #2 team has 21 points... so in reality they really are way on top of the league if it werent for the point deductions.  They will win the league without a doubt and I wouldnt be surprised if they win by double digits.

On the away goals factor in their head to head ties with Celtic, they scored none in Parkhead, but Celtic scored twice at Old Trafford.\n\nTotal goals scored 3. Total conceded 3. Celtic have the better away goals record.

3 points for a win and 1 point for a draw. No other way to get points. After that it's all about the goals scored.

I agree with him. When your playing a sport that teams only score 1 or even no goals, you pretty much have it won considering the fact that its like 90 something percent that a team that goals first will win or tie. Although im not saying its not possible because its happened.

the English Premier League has a total of 20 teams, each season teams will play against each other twice, home & away from August to May the following year. a team will earn 3 points for a win, 1 point for a draw & no points if the team lose a match. \n\nthe team with the most points at the end of the season wins the Premiership. however, any team will also win the league even before the Premiership season ends if other teams in the league could not accumulate enough points to overhaul the league leaders. should there be 2 or more teams tied on same number of points at the top of the league, the goal difference & possibly the goals scored by teams concerned will be used to decide the Premiership champions. there will be no play-off match.  \n\nthe top 4 teams in the league qualify for the UEFA Champions' League while the 5th & 6th place team qualify for the UEFA Cup. the bottom three teams will be relegated to the English League Championship, ENGLAND's second division.\n\nthe above system is also widely used in most major European leagues but the allocation of the UEFA Champions' League & UEFA Cup differs from one country to another. bizarrely, in ITALY, when 2 or more teams tied at the top of Serie A at the end of the season, goal difference or goal scored will NOT be used. instead, a play-off match is used to decide the Serie A champions. \n\nSerie A is the Italian First Division while Serie B is the Italian Second Division.

my team are having another great season! last year they won what was easily the best champions league final of all time. and this year we are 3rd in the league and today we will play the last league game of the season and if we win and Manchester utd draw or LOSE! we will finish 2nd and that will give us automatic qualification for the champions league next season...oh yes we are also in the final of the biggest domestic cup competition in the the world  "you'll never walk alone".. \n\nwhat about your team how are they doing?

Very good question. If somebody can give you the answer, goals without counting the friendly games, many people will be surprised.

Man U WILL be top of the group.  But heres the deal.\n\nFor Crewe, the only players we put on that are regulars are Solksjaer, Oshea, Silvestre, Fletcher, Carrick (I think?), and a few more maybe.  This cup isn't taken seriously.  The league cup is just stupid, no one really fights for it.  \n\nWe lost to Copenhagen, don't know why.  Just we didn't play out best.  We did not have Giggs or Saha.  But look.... we have 9 points.  Celtic,#2, has 6.  We will be fine.  We are definetely moving up.

Probably a lottery or a coin flip.\n\nFrom the Wiki, the tiebreakers are\n\n"If teams are even on points at the end of group play, the tied teams will be ranked as follows:\n\n-greater number of points obtained in matches between the tied teams \n-goal difference in matches between the tied teams \n-greater number of goals scored in matches between the tied teams \n-goal difference in all group matches \n-greater number of goals scored in all group matches \n-a play-off on neutral ground, with extra time and penalties if necessary (in qualifying) \n-drawing of lots (at the final event)"
