• Last season’s runners-up got the win they needed to guarantee their progress thanks Raúl García’s opener and Mandžukić’s treble.

• Rickie Lambert and Jordan Henderson put the Reds in front after going behind early on, but Georgi Terziev equalised towards full time.

• Cristiano Ronaldo’s fourth goal of the group stage was enough for a victory that rubber-stamps top spot for the holders.

Bayer 04 Leverkusen 0-1 AS Monaco FC
• The Bundesliga side were already through at kick-off thanks to Zenit’s victory and were undone by Lucas Ocampos’s effort 18 minutes from time.

Group D
RSC Anderlecht 2-0 Galatasaray AŞ
• Chancel Mbemba found the net twice to ensure Anderlecht of a UEFA Europa League berth, with Galatasaray now consigned to bottom spot.
