Thank you, kind sir. On rare occasions my ridiculous optimism is justified!!
for “ridiculous optimism” read “shrewd understanding of the modern game”

Group H table is a beautiful looking thing.
That draw to real has ruined it.
Serious question, why do you care about tinkling off Dortmund? It's not as though we're going to meet them in the next round or anything.Play a weakened side and draw against APOEL, still top the group and tinkle off Dortmund at the same time
Liverpool could just as well end up in the Europa league.Group A: Manchester United are group winners as they have the best head to head against both CSKA and Basel. Basel have a good chance of taking second place as they play a rubbish Benfica in the last round and will have to drop points for CSKA to even stand a chance.
Group B: PSG will win the group and Bayern finish second unless Bayern get a big enough win in the last round to make up for their 0-3 loss in Paris and take it on head to head.
Group C: Chelsea have to win against Atletico to secure top spot, but are guaranteed to go through. Atletico are two points behind Roma, but will take second place in the unlikely event that they beat Chelsea and Roma fail to beat Qarabag.
Group D: Barcelona will win the group and Juventus most likely finish second as they only have to beat Olympiakos in the last round. Sporting need a win against Barca and for Juventus to drop points to stand a chance.
We could have:
Group winners: Manchester United, PSG, Chelsea, Barcelona, Liverpool, Emirates Marketing Project, Besiktas, Tottenham
Runners up: Basel, Bayern, Roma, Juventus, Sevilla, Napoli, Porto, Real Madrid
Would be funny if one English side finished second as they'd then only have three teams they could face from pot 1 (PSG, Barca and Besiktas). Real will definitely get Besiktas or Liverpool if it ends like this.
Liverpool could just as well end up in the Europa league.
