Sorry you guys didn't qualify, it would have been
great to see you in the next round, but one thing
made me confused, how did chelsea not qualify
but Shakhtar did eventhough they both have the
same points but chelsea have more goals, can someone
please explain..

But lets consider Chelsea and Shakthar's case for example..Both teams won their home fixtures when pitted against each other..Chelsea won 3-2 whilst Shakthar won 2-1 at their home ground..

So if there's a scenario where both Chelsea and Shakthar end up finishing level on points ,Shakthar will be the ones to progress..Since both teams have won their respective home fixtures the head to head rule goes out of the way and the away goals rule comes into the picture so Shakthar would make it through to the next round in the end since they scored 2 away goals at Stamford Bridge whilst Chelsea scored just 1 at the Donbass Arena.Hope that made it clear for you.

anyways, letting that 2 goal lead v Juve in the opener was what turned out to be the deciding factor. Infact, this Chelsea CL campaign reminded me of United's horror show last season in the CL.....we were our own worst enemy.
