In the champions league group stages what two teams would go through if all matches finished 0-0 ?

I would imagine it would be by drawing lots.

If all 4 teams finished with exactly the same statistics, then surely the league would be decided on alphabetical status.

Looks like in such an event this final rule applies:

"higher number of coefficient points accumulated by the club in question,
as well as its association, over the previous five seasons (see
paragraph 9.02)."

Essentially some complicated formula designed to determine which leagues are toughest, I think -- so that the teams coming from those leagues would qualify in the event of a dead heat.

Ah, the Duckworth/Lewis rule for football then Jim?
