i was quoting the bbc who had us top for some reason

I'm guessing they didn't have the correct table sorting algorithm associated with those tables and just had the default (PTS > GD > GF > Alphabetical).

Liverpool are below Napoli as they're both on 6 points but the first tiebreaker for teams on the same points is points in head-to-head games (and Napoli won their only encounter in the group stage 1-0, so they go above Liverpool).

The CL tiebreakers for this season are:-

1. Points in head-to-head matches among tied teams;
   
2. Goal difference in head-to-head matches among tied teams;
   
3. Goals scored in head-to-head matches among tied teams;
   
4. Away goals scored in head-to-head matches among tied teams;
   
5. If more than two teams are tied, and after applying all head-to-head criteria above, a subset of teams are still tied, all head-to-head criteria above are reapplied exclusively to this subset of teams;
   
6. Goal difference in all group matches;
   
7. Goals scored in all group matches;
   
8. Away goals scored in all group matches;
   
9. Wins in all group matches;
   
10. Away wins in all group matches;
    
11. Disciplinary points (red card = 3 points, yellow card = 1 point, expulsion for two yellow cards in one match = 3 points);
    
12. UEFA club coefficient.
    
    

(For a previous website I had to write the table sorting algorithms, they get pretty complex for something that isn't just as simple as PTS > GD > GF > Alphabetical. And more annoying they tend to change slightly every year...)
