Champions League Permutations - How Each Team Can Qualify

Bayern Munich and Valencia are through to the next stage, and have amassed 10 points each, though Valencia have a better goal difference. Both sides are expecting to beat BATE Borisov and Lille respectively, and it could come down to who scores the most goals. It's a case of who blinks first, if either side slip up, then it will be the other to claim glory. Lille are almost certainly out of the competition, in spite of having beaten BATE 2-0 in the last round. They trail at the bottom of the Group with three points fewer and a far weaker Goal Difference. They will have to overhaul the five goal advantage BATE hold to have any chance of progress into the Europa League.
