  Uefa Champions League: Reason Manchester United will Still Not Qualify Even If PSG Lose To Basaksehir By Omolagba Oluwayemi Many fans across the nation still believe Manchester United can progress to the round of 16 of this year's UEFA Champions League if PSG should lose to Istanbul Basaksehir in the rescheduled match tomorrow, on the ground of a better goal difference than the Parisians, BSNsports.com.ng explain the rules guiding the UEFA Champions League in situations like this. Taking into consideration the group concerned, that is the Group H. Here is the standing as at the time of filling this report. Team Name P GD PTS 1 RB Leipzig 6 -1 12 2 PSG 5 3 9 3 Man Utd 6 5 9 4 Istanbul 5 -7 3. In a situation like this, one will think Man Utd should go through if PSG loses their last match based on the better goal difference, but that's not the case with the UEFA Champions League. If two teams are tied on the same points and one needs to progress in group stages like this, the first thing to be considered is their head to head i.e the goals scored when both sides met in the group. When Manchester United visited Paris, they defeated PSG 2-1 but in the return leg, PSG defeated United 3-1 at Old Trafford and considering the away goal rule in Champions League, that automatically placed PSG above United in the perking order. The goal difference will only be brought into consideration if they had scored the same number of goals home and away. With this rules, it doesn't matter the number of goals via which PSG should lose tomorrow, that is if they will, they are already through to the next round. The same applies to Group G, where Barca ended up second behind Juventus despite having a better goal difference, the head to head favors Juventus.
