- Full standings
- Wednesday's games: all kick-offs 20:45CET
- Monaco have won the group with Leverkusen second.
- CSKA need to defeat Spurs to finish above them in third.
- Madrid require a victory against Dortmund to pip them to first place.
- Legia have to beat Sporting to overhaul them in the race for third.
Group G: Porto (8) v Leicester City (13, through), Club Brugge (0) v København (6)
- Leicester have won the group.
- København have a head-to-head advantage over Porto on away goals so will come second if they win and Porto do not.
- Brugge are consigned to fourth position.
Group H: Lyon (7) v Sevilla (10), Juventus (11, through) v Dinamo Zagreb (0)
- Juve are through and will top the group if they win or if Sevilla fail to win (due to Juve's superior head-to head record).
- Lyon must overcome Sevilla by a margin of two goals or more to grab second ahead of their visitors. Sevilla won 1-0 at home so OL must better that victory in order to overtake their guests. One-nil would not be enough for Lyon as Sevilla would have the superior goal difference in all matches. Any other Lyon win by a one-goal margin and Sevilla go through on head-to-head away goals.
- Dinamo will finish fourth.
Standings are provisional until all matches have been played.
