Yes 1st place teams play second place teamsDoes it matter whether we come in first or second, in terms of the knockout draw?

Spurs expected team vs Marseille as Conte wing-back change pleases supporters
Here is the team we reckon Antonio Conte will select as Tottenham Hotspur take on Marseille in the Champions League on Tuesdaywww.football.london
The same as Bissouma?Genuinely don't know how I feel. Marseille are all over the shop internally and on the pitch, but we know how much Tottenham like to gift teams who are struggling.
Luckily I'll be playing football from 7-9 so I'll only catch the last half an hour.
Have you got to 'phone up and find out the score in a weeks' time?I’ve been waiting for an appointment with a doctor for 4 weeks and by chance the slot they finally gave me is 20:40 tonight so I’ll drive there with the first half on the radio and then after my appointment I will find out our destiny.
Probably the safest place I can be tonight though to be fair.
Yes.
In theory we are likely to get an easier draw as we face a team who finished 2nd in their group
but you now what spurs is like, well get the best 2nd team available.Yes.

Plus, you play the 1st leg away from home.Yes.

At this moment in time, that would be great news.but you now what spurs is like, well get the best 2nd team available.
And yet you have supported spurs for how long, and you didn't know our record was bad.
We can’t be drawn vs English sides so here is the difference between 1st and 2ndbut you now what spurs is like, well get the best 2nd team available.

I think the Oxford dictionary, now list's under achievement/collapsing under spurs![]()
Not this year. Barring Real Madrid or PSG losing top spot, 1st is way more stacked than 2nd.I suspect the question is more about who that team could be.
Sometimes the best team in the group finishes 2nd. Or sometimes there's not much between the top 2 teams.
I think it was for going onto the pitch to remonstrate with the ref during the game.Not seen the detailed account as to why Conte got the Red card. He did nothing physical and presume verbal but he said he did not insult anyone. anyone seen the detail?
