The final round of the Champions League group stage under this format has concluded and focus now shifts to the knockout rounds.

Manchester United suffered the most in the initial stage, with Erik ten Hag’s team ultimately coming in last place in Group A after a disappointing performance.

Manchester City secured their spot in the final 16 with one round remaining and will be accompanied by Arsenal, who have advanced to this stage of the tournament for the first time since 2017.

Unfortunately, Newcastle was unable to join them after a 2-1 loss to AC Milan. Despite initially leading in the first half, their defeat ultimately led to their elimination from European competition. Borussia Dortmund and Paris Saint-Germain advanced from the difficult group.

While English teams cannot draw each other in the last 16, there are set to be some huge ties in the new year following the draw. Here’s everything you need to know.
