Theoretically, you could finish second even with 15 points. And win the group with just 5 points. But, in reality what are the records? Is it Arsenal (with 13 points) this season and Monaco (with 11 points) this season?

1 Answer 1

8

Most points achieved in the group stage, not winning the group (2nd): Manchester City, 15, 2013-2014.

Most points achieved in the group stage, yet knocked out (3rd): Napoli, 12, 2013-2014.

Fewest points achieved in the first group stage, yet won the group: Juventus, 8, 1998-1999 and Milan, 8, 1993-1994.‡

Fewest points achieved in the second group stage: Valencia, 9, 2002-2003 and Barcelona, 2001-2002.

Fewest points achieved in the group stage, yet advanced: Milan, 5, 1994-1995.‡

Prior to 1995-1996 season two points were awarded for a win instead of three.

  • Valencia and Barcelona, which you mention as teams to win a group in second group stage with fewest points, actually had 9 points, not 8.

  • I think it's essential to mention that prior to 1995/96 UEFA Champions League season two points were awarded for a win instead of three. So, keeping that in mind, Milan would accumulate 10 points in 1993/94 and 8 points in 1994/95.
