That's interesting, because numerous sources quote the opposite:

And yet, the official competition rules state the opposite.  I wonder what press release was sent out which resulted in so many outlets getting it completely wrong.

I stand corrected...

Most likely they've read through that and misunderstood it as point a) meaning the most points in the group, and therefore point b) being goal difference, rather than realising that these are a set of specific tiebreakers after teams are tied on points.
