Some very dangerous teams await Manchester United, Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester City in the last 16 of the Champions League despite three of the sides progressing to the knockout stages as group winners.
Chelsea were the only Premier League team sweating over whether they would be seeded in next week’s draw for the first knockout round, having been tied on points with Italian giants Juventus going into the final round of matches.
Thomas Tuchel’s rotated side took an early lead against Zenit Saint-Petersburg before going behind in the match and then appeared to have snatched the win late on only to concede a 94th-minute equaliser in a thrilling 3-3 draw that handed top spot to Juve.
United, meanwhile, play their final group match later in the evening but were already assured of top spot thanks to their superior head-to-head record against closest challengers Villarreal.
Manchester City suffered defeat in their final group game against RB Leipzig but had already wrapped up top spot, while Liverpool made it six wins out of six with a come-from-behind victory over AC Milan at the San Siro on Tuesday.
