Educate me here - how are Spurs eliminated if BL are only 3 points ahead of them? Is GD not the tie breaker here?

Aubemayang (¿?) going to try and put on a display for the Madridismo today. Maybe Benzema decides to show up and play a bit? After all, he´s in their doghouse.

Further to winning the match and group, I´m not sure how beneficial winning this group is, when one takes into account the calibre of some second place finishers in the pot for the next round.

I find it ironic that Spurs supporters don't know how the Champions League works

Same.

They may do what Dortmund did a few years back. Could only manage to win in Europe it seemed like.

Wait, is this for sure? Sevilla won 1-0 against Lyon in Spain

Say Lyon wins with a clean sheet OR a goal difference of greater than 2 goals would they still not advance?

quick start. I think we have to keep the pressure on because Madrid is going to score eventually

It would be nice to see Dortmund win the group. I'd like for City to avoid at least one Madrid side.
