    Third-place scenarios

    Even finishing 3rd is not necessarily elimination. The 8 best third-placed teams (out of 12 groups) advance to the Round of 32. A third-place finish with 3+ points and a neutral or positive goal difference would likely be enough to qualify. Third-placed teams are always paired against group winners in the Round of 32.
