So at least 1 French team will be advancing to the next round which is 1 more than last year I believe. Lyon still have a shot but I wouldn't bet on it. They really should have taken a point at Anderlecht. They always get unlucky in Europe anyway. Marseille by the way was officially eliminated from going to the next stage. Have to battle Partizan for the right to go into the UEFA Cup. 0 points in 4 games vs. Real Madrid and Porto. Thats harsh. Your trying to tell me OM's fans arent disapointed in that ???

OM made a good match yesterday only a part of chance, and a better referee missed them for doing a best result, but OM lost the qualification against Porto, the 2 match against this team came at the worst moment for the team, yhis year was a year for learning, the most important thing is to win another qualification for next year in order to grown up tear after year, we don't have to forgot that 2 years ago OM was close to relegation, the team is new, the players are young without any europrean experience...
OM must battle to make a draw in Belgrade and have the UEFA qualification, but the most importants match are the next 2 in ligue 1, OM-PSG and OM-Monaco...
Monaco is qualified but they done a very bad match against PSV, and they maybe have loose the 1st place(so important) of the group...
Lyon must win the match against Celtic for advance, it will not be easy...

I don't know how important 1st place in the group is I mean weather you finish 1st or 2nd your still going to be playing a really good team. As for Lyon at least they are playing Celtic on home soil.

some top teams could be avoid if you are 1st of your group, and you play the second match on your field, I think it's important to be 1st, but of course there not will be many bad teams in 8th...

If the match was in Glasgow, I would favor Celtic to go through. As it stands now, I'm giving Lyon a 65% chance of winning.

Celtic can come back with a tie from their trip to France, which would automatically qualify them to the last 16.
