Zero points: The worst teams in Champions League history ranked (Goal.com)

With Rangers having lost all six of their games in this season's group stage, GOAL runs through all the sides to have suffered total humiliation. The Champions ...

Below, GOAL goes through all of the sides to have bowed out after losing all of their group games... Even some of the game's more well-known sides have suffered the ignominy of failing to pick up a single point. Sadly, in recent times, as the gap between the haves and have-nots grows wider in Europe, this is happening more frequently to some of the competition's smaller teams.

Liverpool ideal last-16 draw clear as teams confirmed and ... (Liverpool.com)

Liverpool secured their place in the last-16 of the Champions League before Jürgen Klopp's men beat Napoli, but could only finish in second spot in the ...

Liverpool cannot be drawn against another English side until the quarter-finals, and they cannot draw Napoli, who won their group. They topped their group with a late, late goal against Maccabi Haifa, winning 6-1 and securing the margin they required. It would be revenge to knock The Portuguese side are definitely the joint-best option for Liverpool, even if another trip to Estádio do Dragão might be a little bit boring. Carlo Ancelotti's side are not unbeatable, of course, but it does sometimes feel like that in the knockout phase of this tournament. But their poor performance in Naples may not yet be punished as heavily as it might, depending on who comes out of UEFA's pot...

Champions League Last-16 Draw Scenarios and Possibilities: Who ... (Sports Illustrated)

The possibilities and scenarios for the 2022-23 UEFA Champions League round of 16 draw, now that the group stage is complete.

Of the group winners, Bayern has the fewest options yet still boasts a wide array of outcomes. Beyond that, there’s a transfer window that may alter things, and any brilliant runs of form clubs are enjoying now—looking at you, Napoli—will need to effectively be resurrected or started from scratch after the club layoff of roughly six weeks. Benfica had a 9–6 edge over PSG there, meaning João Mário’s strike in stoppage time was one of great consequence—at least in theory.

Premier League clubs have already made £220m from Champions ... (Mirror.co.uk)

Four teams progress from group stage to last 16 as 2020 winners lead earnings and Tottenham trail behind because of weaker historical performances.

Despite reaching the final in 2019, when they were beaten by Liverpool, the north London club have not performed as well on a consistent basis as their domestic rivals. Coming from behind to win 3-1 against the Spanish club added another £2.4m to their total. Jurgen Klopp’s team had a nightmare start to Group A, losing 4-1 away to Napoli, but they won their remaining five games, including a 7-1 battering of Rangers in Glasgow. [Premier League](https://www.mirror.co.uk/all-about/premier-league) will have a full allocation in February’s [Champions League](https://www.mirror.co.uk/all-about/champions-league) round of 16 - and the clubs are already more than £220m richer for their endeavours. Every group stage team received a base payment of £13.5m, with every win leading to a £2.4m bonus and a draw worth £800,000. Three wins and two draws earned Antonio Conte’s side £8.8m but their coefficient payment was worth only £16.6m. The 2020 winners lost their opening game away to Dinamo Zagreb, costing Thomas Tuchel his job as head coach, before drawing at home to Salzburg. Those results plus their £13.5m appearance payment and £8.3m for progressing topped up by £27.4m in ten-year coefficient payments led to just under £60m in total. Tottenham, who have less pedigree over the past 10 years from which performances are considered, have earned less. The eventual winners can expect to earn an additional £45m before factoring in broadcast revenue. That meant £12m on top of their £13.5m base payment with the remaining money coming from their coefficient and the £8.3m for making it out of the group. The Premier League champions had a more straightforward run out of Group D because they won their opening three games before drawing two with Pep Guardiola then having the freedom of giving the kids a run against Sevilla last night.

[Serie A](/soccer/league/_/name/ita.1) -- and topped Group A ahead of last season's beaten finalists [Liverpool](/soccer/team?id=364) -- count as a dark horse? They have a great unit, amazing team spirit, are tactically hard to beat and have great talents like [Randal Kolo Muani](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/252971/Randal-Kolo-Muani), [Evan N'Dicka](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/274961/evan-n'dicka) or [Jesper Lindstrom](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/278822/Jesper-Lindstrom), experienced players like [Mario Gotze](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/143020/Mario-Götze) or [Kevin Trapp](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/122280/Kevin-Trapp). [AC Milan](/soccer/team?id=103) as "dark horses" given they have won the competition on seven occasions, but this is their first appearance in the knockout stages since 2014. The team slump, Simeone comes under pressure, they bounce back to finish in the top four in LaLiga and qualify for the Champions League, and on it goes. Luciano Spalletti's [Napoli](/soccer/team?id=114) have won so many admirers already this season, and players such as [Khvicha Kvaratskhelia](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/274745/Khvicha-Kvaratskhelia), [Giacomo Raspadori](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/271679/Giacomo-Raspadori) and [Stanislav Lobotka](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/188412/Stanislav-Lobotka) are among the most fun to watch in Europe. Their noisy enthusiasm was only slightly dampened by going behind early to [Luka Modric](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/76762/Luka-Modric)'s sixth-minute penalty, as a ruthless Madrid scored five times -- the outstanding [Fede Valverde](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/235818/federico-valverde) contributing a long-range goal and an assist that was reminiscent of the one he provided in last season's Champions League final -- before [Jota](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/258915/Jota) rewarded the away fans with a late free kick to see the game end 5-1. [Champions League](/soccer/league/_/name/uefa.champions) group stage is all wrapped up, and there was no shortage of drama, goals and chaos. By contrast, a special mention for Rangers making a strong case as the worst team in Champions League group stage history, racking up the worst-ever goal difference (-20) of any team to lose all six matches. Benfica coach Roger Schmidt and his players celebrated in style on the pitch when it was confirmed that they had finished top, meaning they will avoid facing any of the other group winners in the draw for the round of 16.
