Chaney someone answer this for me, on sky they are saying a 0-0 will only be good enough if the germans avoid defeat in Genk, so if that does happen surely Chelsea will win the group , all 3 teams will be on 9 points but have better head to heads against both the spanish and the germans (2-0 and 1-2 germans) (1-1 away and 0-0 home spanish)
i just found this, none the wiser TBF
There has been a bit of confusion about this - and I may be about to upset quite a few Chelsea fans. Despite widespread reports that a 0-0 draw will be enough to send Chelsea through, it won't be if Bayer Leverkusen lose. That is because Leverkusen, Chelsea and Valencia will then all be on nine points in Group E, creating a mini-league in which the trio's results against Genk are disregarded and in which Leverkusen top the group ahead of Valencia who have scored one more goal than the Blues. In the eventuality of a Bayer Leverkusen defeat, only a Chelsea win will see them through. If Bayer Leverksuen win or draw, however, Chelsea can go through with a win or a 0-0. Got that? No? My brain hurts.
