Consider the situation below and tell me who qualifies?
All are on 10 points
United have better head to head with moscow
moscow have better head to head with wolfsburg ( hypothetical )
wolfsburg have better head to head with united

It doesn't work quite like that. If three teams finish level on points, they total up the number of points obtained in the group matches involving the teams in question. So, in this instance, results against Besiktas would be deducted from each side's tally. So under that system, CSKA would be back down to four points (three against Wolfsburg and one against us) while United would have seven, having beaten both Wolfsburg and CSKA once and drawn the other at home to the Russians. So they can't finish above us.
