Fifteen of the 16 teams who will fight it out in the Champions League last-16 have now qualified from the group stages.
In Group A, Napoli and Liverpool completely dominated, scoring a whopping 37 goals between them. Both teams had already qualified before matchday six, with the Serie A side edging the Reds on goal-difference to top the group. Ajax qualified for the Europa League in third, with last year's Europa League runners-up Rangers eliminated.
In Group B, Atletico Madrid suffered a shock elimination as Porto and Club Brugge qualified from the section. Atletico needed to match or better Leverkusen’s result on Matchday 6 to at least make the Europa League, something they failed to do.
