Some big names have fallen after these football games – none more so than 2013 finalists Borussia Dortmund.
And the betting odds on Monaco failing to qualify – albeit a severely weakened side compared to last season – could have earned sports betting fans a small fortune.
Spartak Moscow 1-1 NK Maribor
After their 10-0 humbling over two games to Liverpool, here was some respect for the Slovenian minnows.
Jasmin Mesanovic’s stoppage-time equaliser sparked pride. It also means Moscow’s destiny is out of their hands.
Manchester City 1-0 Feyenoord
A match in which the outcome barely mattered.
City have been in control of Group F since the outset, Feyenoord propping it up.
That the hosts were able to field a reserve team comprising the likes of Yaya Toure, Ilkay Gundogan and Bernardo Silva showed the gulf between these clubs.
Napoli 3-0 Shakhtar Donetsk
The Italians have done all they could.
The battle to seal second spot in Group F will go to the wire.
That’s after Lorenzo Insigne’s 56th-minute strike settled nerves in Naples and they went onto record a comprehensive success.
Besiktas 1-1 Porto
After being second best against the Turks – now confirmed as Group G winners – Porto will be quietly relieved.
For they still hold a slight advantage ahead of their final match. And that is at home to what will be a deflated Monaco side next month.
AS Monaco 1-4 RB Leipzig
Disaster for the French which so thrilled Europe last season.
Delight for the Germans who have the potential to take over their crown this time around as everyone’s favourite other team.
Everything they hit in the principality went in as three goals inside the opening 31 minutes made a fairly close encounter seem one-sided in favour of this exciting German team.
Borussia Dortmund 1-2 Tottenham Hotspur
This may not be the Dortmund vintage it once was, but it’s never easy to win at the Westfalenstadion.
An Englishman, Dele Alli, made both goals as Harry Kane and Son Heung-Min clinched victory and confirmed Spurs as group winners.
The Germans may not even get a Europa League spot in what has been an awful European campaign.
Apoel Nicosia 0-6 Real Madrid
It was always likely to be men against boys.
The European champions may have to work to do domestically but can turn the screw on a whim at times.
Karim Benzema and Cristiano Ronaldo led the rout with doubles.
