Holders Manchester City and Bundesliga outfit RB Leipzig became the first sides to reach the knockout stages of this season's Champions League, securing their spots in the last 16 with two matches to spare on Tuesday.
English sides Arsenal, Manchester United and Newcastle, plus Scottish champions Celtic, can all still mathematically join City and Leipzig in the last 16.
The top two teams in each of the eight groups advance to the knockouts, with third place dropping into the Europa League.
So which clubs are almost there? And who needs a miracle? BBC Sport gives you the lowdown on all the Champions League group stage permutations.
| Group A | |||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Team | P | W | D | L | GD | PTS | |
| 1 | Bayern Munich | 3 | 3 | 0 | 0 | 4 | 9 |
| 2 | Galatasaray | 3 | 1 | 1 | 1 | -1 | 4 |
| 3 | Manchester United | 3 | 1 | 0 | 2 | -1 | 3 |
| 4 | FC Copenhagen | 3 | 0 | 1 | 2 | -2 | 1 |
Bayern Munich are dominating Group A and will reach the knockouts with victory over Galatasaray on Wednesday.
Should Galatasaray fail to beat Bayern, and Manchester United beat Copenhagen on Wednesday, the Old Trafford club will move up to second and boost their qualification chances with two matches remaining.
| Group B | |||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Team | P | W | D | L | GD | PTS | |
| 1 | Arsenal | 3 | 2 | 0 | 1 | 4 | 6 |
| 2 | Lens | 3 | 1 | 2 | 0 | 1 | 5 |
| 3 | Sevilla | 3 | 0 | 2 | 1 | -1 | 2 |
| 4 | PSV Eindhoven | 3 | 0 | 2 | 1 | -4 | 2 |
Arsenal and Lens will both advance from Group B with two wins from their final three matches.
If the Gunners beat Sevilla in their next match on Wednesday and Lens defeat Copenhagen, Mikel Arteta's side will secure a place in the last 16 with two matches to spare.
| Group C | |||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Team | P | W | D | L | GD | PTS | |
| 1 | Real Madrid | 3 | 3 | 0 | 0 | 3 | 9 |
| 2 | Napoli | 3 | 2 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 6 |
| 3 | Sporting Braga | 3 | 1 | 0 | 2 | -1 | 3 |
| 4 | Union Berlin | 3 | 0 | 0 | 3 | -3 | 0 |
Real Madrid will advance to the knockout stage for the 26th consecutive season with a win over Sporting Braga on Wednesday.
Meanwhile, Union Berlin will be eliminated from both Champions League and Europa League contention if they lose to Napoli on the same day.
| Group D | |||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Team | P | W | D | L | GD | PTS | |
| 1 | Real Sociedad | 3 | 2 | 1 | 0 | 3 | 7 |
| 2 | Inter Milan | 3 | 2 | 1 | 0 | 2 | 7 |
| 3 | RB Salzburg | 3 | 1 | 0 | 2 | -1 | 3 |
| 4 | Benfica | 3 | 0 | 0 | 3 | -4 | 0 |
Real Sociedad and Inter Milan can both reach the Champions League knockouts with wins on Wednesday.
La Real host Benfica, who have yet to pick up a point in Group D, while Inter Milan visit Red Bull Salzburg.
If Benfica lose, or draw and Salzburg do not beat Inter, they will be eliminated from last 16 contention.
| Group E | |||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Team | P | W | D | L | GD | PTS | |
| 1 | Atletico Madrid | 4 | 2 | 2 | 0 | 7 | 8 |
| 2 | Lazio | 4 | 2 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 7 |
| 3 | Feyenoord | 4 | 2 | 0 | 2 | 2 | 6 |
| 4 | Celtic | 4 | 0 | 1 | 3 | -9 | 1 |
Celtic need an improbable set of results to reach the knockout stage for the first time since the 2012-13 campaign.
The Scottish champions must win their final two matches against Feyenoord and Lazio - scoring at least two goals away to the latter, and also hope both sides lose to Atletico Madrid.
Celtic are the only side who can be eliminated from last 16 contention from Group E before the sixth and final round of fixtures.
| Group F | |||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Team | P | W | D | L | GD | PTS | |
| 1 | Borussia Dortmund | 4 | 2 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 7 |
| 2 | Paris St-Germain | 4 | 2 | 0 | 2 | 1 | 6 |
| 3 | AC Milan | 4 | 1 | 2 | 1 | -2 | 5 |
| 4 | Newcastle | 4 | 1 | 1 | 2 | 0 | 4 |
Newcastle United will be unable to reach the last 16 if they lose to Paris St-Germain in their next match on 28 November.
That is due to the Magpies' inferior head-to head record versus Borussia Dortmund (two defeats). But Eddie Howe's side will go second with one fixture remaining in Group F if they beat PSG later this month.
| Group G | |||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Team | P | W | D | L | GD | PTS | |
| 1 | Manchester City | 4 | 4 | 0 | 0 | 9 | 12 |
| 2 | RB Leipzig | 4 | 3 | 0 | 1 | 3 | 9 |
| 3 | Red Star Belgrade | 4 | 0 | 1 | 3 | -5 | 1 |
| 4 | Young Boys | 4 | 0 | 1 | 3 | -7 | 1 |
Manchester City reached the last 16 with two matches to spare by defeating Young Boys on Tuesday night.
On the same evening, Group G rivals RB Leipzig joined them in the knockouts, advancing with a win over Red Star Belgrade.
City will win the group with one game still to play if they avoid defeat to Leipzig when the pair face off at Etihad Stadium in their next fixture on 28 November.
| Group H | |||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Team | P | W | D | L | GD | PTS | |
| 1 | Barcelona | 4 | 3 | 0 | 1 | 6 | 9 |
| 2 | FC Porto | 4 | 3 | 0 | 1 | 6 | 9 |
| 3 | Shakhtar Donetsk | 4 | 2 | 0 | 2 | -1 | 6 |
| 4 | Royal Antwerp | 4 | 0 | 0 | 4 | -11 | 0 |
Barcelona missed out on reaching the knockout stage for the first time in three years when they failed to pick up a point against Shakhtar Donetsk on Tuesday.
But the five-time winners can still advance with a game to spare if they beat FC Porto on 28 November. Porto and Shakhtar, who meet each other on matchday six, remain in contention to qualify.
Royal Antwerp's hopes are already over, but the Belgian champions could end up in the Europa League if they win, and Shakhtar lose, their final two games.
