UEFA Champions League group standings & results: Updated tables and match schedule image

The 2021-2022 UEFA Champions League group stage is in the books with only half of the field of 32 teams surviving the group stage. The top two teams in each group (A through H) advanced to the Round of 16 which will be held in February, the next step in the march to the final on May 28, 2022 in Saint Petersburg, Russia.

The third-place teams did receive a consolation prize: passage to the Europa League knockout round playoffs, where they will face the Europa League group runners-up for a ticket to that competition's Round of 16.

If you’re familiar with international soccer, you know how the group stage worked: Each team faced the other three teams at home and on the road for a total of six group matches. Each match was a chance to pick up points (three for a win, one for a draw and none for a loss).

The teams were ranked within their group based on their points total. If two or more teams were even on points, the first tiebreakers were: (1) points in matches among tied teams, (2) goal difference in matches among tied teams, and (3) goals scored in matches among tied teams. The complete list of tiebreakers follows below.

PTS=Points, GP=Games Played, W=Wins, L=Losses, D=Draws, GF=Goals For (scored), GA=Goals Against (conceded), GD=Goal Difference (between goals scored and conceded)
