You could also say we need 1 point to qualify. The two closest teams both have Benfica and us to play so we can't let them beat us.
We may not need any more points. Both Basel and CSKA need to get maximum points from their matches and even then they have to beat United with a better score than when they were beaten. We are not only guaranteeing qualification with one point but also top place. Solid performance today and as expected nothing to write home about. JM playing within his resources thinking about the Chavs. I'd be disappointed if we don't get maximum points at SB this weekend.
That's the weird bit, 4 straight wins and 1 point from the last two games could mean the difference between topping the group and Europa League.
Calm down folks. Simply won't happen. United AND benfica have to lose both games and CSKA and Basel have to win both AND beat United by a better score than the previous matches. Possible but very unlikely. I would say United have qualified, and very likely in first place unless they get beaten very badly in those 2 matches. Lose better than 3-0 to Basel or better than 4-1 to the Russians we are through.
