Group F table as it stands

| 2 | Paris Saint-Germain | 5 | 1 | 7 |
| 3 | Newcastle United | 5 | 0 | 5 |
| 4 | AC Milan | 5 | -4 | 5 |
What are the qualification scenarios for PSG, Newcastle United and AC Milan
PSG is the most likely team to qualify as Group F runner-up. It has its fate in its own hands, and if the French champion wins its away game against Dortmund, it will join the Germans in the knockouts as group-topper.
For Newcastle United, it would need to beat AC Milan at home to have a chance of qualification. It can also qualify for the last 16 if PSG is unable to beat Dortmund.
AC Milan’s chance to qualify looks the bleakest as it would not only need to beat Newcastle in an away match but also need PSG to lose.
