Tottenham stood out a bit, but given the current state of the group, even the last place in the group, Marseille, still has a chance to leave the group. It's actually an exciting group.

Bayern Munich Club is the most consistent in terms of games, enjoyable to watch even the last 10 years, nothing is as consistent as Bayern in terms of games.
It proves that individual players do not attract much attention to German teams, let alone expensive and big players, deserve to be a strong team because they prioritize teamwork.
You could say that Bayern are stingy in their finances, they make up for cheap players with good quality. The results are also good, rather than buying expensive players but not according to the criteria. Nowadays, clubs are competing for expensive players just for a business.

I don't really agree that Bayern only has cheap players. I mean just look at their squad. Kimmich, Goretzka, Davies, Musiala, Coman, Gnabry, Sane, Mane and De Ligt all have a market value of 60 M€ or higher. Also the total market value of it's squad is higher than the one of Real Madrid, FC Barcelona, FC Chelsea and Manchester United for example. Bayern is ranked on 4th place in terms of total market value of it's squad. So i would say that Bayern Munich has a very high quality squad with absolutely great players but yes of course it is true they never went for that absolute superstars like Ronaldo or Messi.
Also Bayern had absolutely no debts like all the other top clubs, Bayern even has Money still sitting on the Bank and all that without that crazy high English TV money and without the financial help of sheikhs and oligarchs.
Yeah, this should be a great match, both teams have been playing poorly lately, but Tottenham are probably playing a little better.
Both teams regularly both score and concede(5 games in a row), so there should be many goals in this game, but the one who plays better in defense should win.
I think that it will still be Tottenham.
The competition in Group D is indeed very tight, all teams from this group still have the chance to qualify for the round of 16. Tottenham are currently at the top of the standings with 8 points, while Marseille are at the bottom. Marseille is only two points adrift of Tottenham, if they can win against Tottenham, Marseille will secure a ticket to the last 16.Both teams regularly both score and concede(5 games in a row), so there should be many goals in this game, but the one who plays better in defense should win.
I think that it will still be Tottenham.
Tottenham only need a draw to qualify for the last 16, but if they want to finish as group winners Tottenham must beat Marseille or hope the Sporting vs Frankfurt match ends in a draw.
If Marseille played a little better in a difference in the end of the match it would not have been eliminated from all European competitions.
A team like Marseille has no right to play defense at the end of the match like that.
UEFA Champions League is different from other leagues. Anyone who will face Liverpool will pay attention to Liverpool's big names in this biggest tournament.
In the Premier League, Liverpool's performances can be up and down or inconsistent which makes people hesitant to place bets against a team like Napoli who are at their best.
I agree that the UEFA Champions League is quite different from other leagues, but team name is not that important, because any team that manages to qualify for Champions League is not a small team, and it has clearly shown that the teams fought hard in their respective leagues in order to see themselves playing in Champions League, so when it comes to Champions League games, any body can qualify;In the Premier League, Liverpool's performances can be up and down or inconsistent which makes people hesitant to place bets against a team like Napoli who are at their best.
We will not compare Jurgen Klopp with other coaches in managing teams in the Champions League. The strategies and tactics that coaches of other teams in England have in coaching may be much better, but Klopp understood when he was in the UEFA Champions League that the club he was coaching was Liverpool.
...Nonetheless, congratulations to Liverpool for making it to the round of 16.
There were some very interesting encounters and results in Group D today. Marseille lost 2-1 at home with a last minute goal after leading at half time. At halftime they were leading the group, but after the match they finished last and said goodbye to Europe.
The same result was also valid in the Lisbon-Frankfurt match. Lisbon led 1-0 at half time but frankfurt scored 2 goals in the second half to win the match and have a chance to continue in the champions league.
The group was the toughest last night, Tottenham tried in that game when you consider their coach Antonio Conte was in the stand, the incident that happens yesterday in front of the players hotels and the hostile environment that the Marseille fans brought on,then being a goal down at first half and winning and topping the group was not easy despite losing Son in the first 23 minutes. Was also disappointed that sporting Lisbon didn't go through despite playing at home, before the game, one can predict them as favourite against the German side. The same result was also valid in the Lisbon-Frankfurt match. Lisbon led 1-0 at half time but frankfurt scored 2 goals in the second half to win the match and have a chance to continue in the champions league.
A victory that did not produce any value for Liverpool, considering that the grub champions had been mandated by Napoli, while Liverpool had to settle for the runner-up position.
Whilst the victory for Liverpool didn't ensure that they top the group as they still had to settle for second place, it was a really important win for their morale and confidence, they lost back to back games in the EPL, so a win was very important last night, it would be a morale boost for them as they prepare for their big game in the EPL against Spurs on Sunday, if they had failed to beat Napoli, their confidence would've been at rock bottom.Having said that, Liverpool now have to wait for the RO16 draw to see if they would face a really big team, this season there are a couple of teams that aren't giant clubs that finished first postion in their respective groups, so Liverpool could still get an easy RO16 game despite finishing second in their group behind Napoli.
Understanding Liverpool is difficult to do. Matches you expect them to win, they lose it. Same as matches you expect them to lose, they win them. The problem with Liverpool seems to be from their mental ability and attitude. They feel relaxed when they are up for a small team, but put up their armour when playing against a big team.
Round of 16: Liverpool will be up against Bayern Munich, I hope they will be able to pull it through as they did in group-stage qualifications.
yes agree with this, liverpool are really struggling to destroy the napoli defensive team. Amazing game! I really want to see Stefan play more in midfield. I think he's still very young, but able to step into the opposition defense and defend and help control the midfield.
but unfortunately this season Liverpool are only good in Europe, not good in the EPL. Last season Liverpool were good in Europe plus good in the EPL.
It's still too early to judge Liverpool are not good in the EPL, because basically Liverpool still have time and opportunity to continue to improve their appearance and performance in the EPL this season. Although at this moment it is clear that Liverpool are not very good in the EPL, but they still have time to improve everything in the EPL this season.but unfortunately this season Liverpool are only good in Europe, not good in the EPL. Last season Liverpool were good in Europe plus good in the EPL.
In UCL Liverpool also have to try to be better because there are more good teams in the last 16 and it's very tough for every team so every game has to be really fought for in order to get a win and to be able to survive until the end of the season.
Amazing Liverpool yesterday night.I was expecting a revenge after the humiliating game in Italy where we lost 4-1 but yesterday night was a huge win,with a clean sheet that further shows that Liverpool can go very far in this Champions League season as they just beat one of the best teams right now both in their local league and both in the Champions League.
In the Premier League they have nothing to fight for except a place in the top 4 which I think can be achievable and so the full focus from now on will be only in the Champions League.

Jurgen Klopp is not at his best this season in comparison to previous seasons; he and his team are still struggling for consistency in their games as they have been beaten by teams they did not expect to be beaten by; even in this Champions League group stage, they have some poor performance in the beginning, which is why they were unable to top the group. Nonetheless, congratulations to Liverpool for making it to the round of 16. 
I really enjoyed the match between Napoli vs Liverpool. During the first half both teams played fiercely. But it seems that in the second half Napoli made a mistake. precisely from the 80th minute the tempo of Napoli's game decreased slightly or maybe they deliberately lowered the tempo of the game and this has become a fatal gap for Napoli. and Liverpool are a team that cannot be underestimated. when the opponent makes a gap then Liverpool can use it well. and that's what happened in the game. Liverpool are strong when they are at their best. unfortunately Liverpool are often inconsistent in maintaining their best performance.
Liverpool despite been underestimated they have not been consistent but they always impress in game's as this, Klopp is still the one for them

I can't deny that Liverpool's performance against Napoli was quite good. But if we say that Liverpool's game this season is incredible, maybe this is a bit of an exaggeration. We know that Liverpool often misses opportunities and especially in the Premier League, their game is quite bad. Luckily, they didn't make the same mistake in the Champions League. Maybe they are more focused here. However, I'm not sure if Liverpool can be champions here.

Liverpool in the other hand is doing well in the Champions League but losing matches to relation teams in their local League .
Bayern Munich are really playing some good football this year such that the recorded a perfect start at group stage with 18points from the 6games played, could this be their year the win another CL trophy ?

I don't believe it, it's unbelievable. This is what happens... a real ko endgame. The team that loses is out, they wouldn't had to play the 5 games before. Frankfurt would be completely out and the last in the group. 45 minute left to play, I hope there will be more goals. If Marseille win, then Frankfurt must win to, they have no other chance.
That group D is a drama group, everyone has returned to where they were before the match started. The two matches are playing draw.
This means that Tottenham is back as the table leaders while Marseille is back as the bottom occupiers.
I expect to see a little more of drama before the end of 90 minutes.
It has been long I witnessed such a tight group.
Toughest group so far with all the teams fighting to see who will be going to the next stage. Right now the group has taken another shape with Frankfurt taking the lead from away and currently in the first position and Tottenham still settling for a draw and the team is in the second position now but I think more actions will still be seen because the teams in the group are full of surprises who knows if Frankfurt will later lose in the game and Tottenham ends up not getting the draw as we have seen happen in football. Until the full time the group D is still an open group.
The full has come and Tottenham surprisingly won the match against Marseille. While we were encouraging them to get a draw, they went ahead to win the match. This is like a revenge of the last match that Kane's last minute goal was disallowed by VAR. Today Tottenham repeated the goal at 90mins and 5 more minutes to get a win and remain the undisputed leaders of the group.
Congratulations to Sporting and Marseille too, even if they didn't qualify, they fought a very strong battle.
Surprisingly, Tottenham did the needful by getting a late goal to move back to the first position where their fans wanted them to be, I must say that Kane should be respected and for this solid revenge according to what you said and what happened in the late minute goal that was scored by Kane but unfortunately VAR disallowed it and today, Kane has produced a superb assist to Pierre Hojbjerg to salvage the last match situation and to remind the world that everything is possible in football, did you see the celebration? It reminds me of the Manchester United Champions League win against Chelsea in 2008.
Sporting and Marseille fought a good fight but both teams losing at the home ground to Frankfurt and Tottenham was a poor performance and it shows how inconsistent they are.
Yes, Liverpool really demonstrated well to deserved the victory from the match because they know how to reduce leading team points. Liverpool reduced Manchester city points in the premier league competition, and they still reduced Napoli points in this UEFA champions league competition that really made people to believed that Liverpool can still get it right soon to recover from all their losses they had experienced in this season. I think, Napoli strikers try their possible best to ensure they achieve a goal from the match but Liverpool defenders made the match difficult for them not to embrace any goal through out the match.
A victory that did not produce any value for Liverpool, considering that the grub champions had been mandated by Napoli, while Liverpool had to settle for the runner-up position.The match was quite interesting, there was buying and selling of attacks in this match, both clubs played well at least until normal time in the first half ended, in the 53rd minute Leo Ostigard managed to score a goal, but unfortunately it was disallowed because Leo Ostigard was caught in an offside position.
While Liverpool managed to open the scoring through Mohamed Salah in the 85th minute and Darwin Nunez doubled it in the extra minutes of the second half. One goal and one assist became the perfect capital for Darwin Nunez, to answer many people's criticism.
Liverpool really surprised me because Napoli is in top form currently. I predicted that Napoli would have a very comfortable win but Liverpool proved me wrong. Both teams had already qualified, hence they had nothing to lose if the match was won by any side but Napoli still maintained the number one spot because of goal difference.
Liverpool ends Napoli winning streak in the champions league group. The game was a bit tough for the home team but they bounced back in the second half. Napoli failed to take their chances and this wasn't a good start for Luciano Spalleti. Hence, both teams qualify but Napoli wanted to make history as to be the team to qualify with winning all their fixtures in the group. They're still on top of the table with the same points with Liverpool but goal difference differs. Now, we would be looking up to the round of 16 where it will be more difficult for average team that manage to qualify their group stage.I don't know why but chelsea is also having the same performance as liverpool. These team may not feel better with the domestic league. Both should continue the trend to be able to go to the quarter last 8.
Im glad that domination by napoli is over since liverpool was winning against napoli. it has proven if napoli can still be beaten by another club as well. It doesn't mean the domation will be so long.
Honestly I was surprised by the way Liverpool bounced back from their latest setback by overcoming in-form Napoli in the Champions League. I never expected them to beat Napoli and keep a clean sheet against a Napoli side that have been pouring goals in all competitions this season. They were able to match Napoli on the same points but hey were unable to win the head-to-head record with them following their 4-1 defeat in their first game of the UCL.
Napoli and Liverpool get 15, although Liverpool lost head to head with Napoli. I think it's an interesting competition.
But in the group stage, Bayern Munich got full points. From 6 matches, they are unbeaten. In group C are also the best clubs. But Bayern Munich was able to beat all.
Is this a sign that they will be in the finals later?
Bayern Munich are really playing some good football this year such that the recorded a perfect start at group stage with 18points from the 6games played, could this be their year the win another CL trophy ?
After this round of games it will be time to seperate men from the boys and cling on the so called favorites, this is the champions league you will be disappointed. But depending on how draws go, Bayern and City... maybe PSG could be contenders this time around
