What to look out for

Pitmen digging for victory
Shakhtar's 3-1 opening-night defeat by Porto feels a long time ago. The Pitmen have since beaten Barcelona, picked up two wins against Antwerp and are thriving with the freedom new coach Marino Pušić has given them. "No one expected us to be in contention for the knockouts heading into the final matchday," says Shakhtar defender Valeriy Bondar. "But this is our little dream."

The Ukrainian side, who have played their home games in Hamburg this autumn, are certainly up against it. Not many go to Porto and win but the lack of expectation could be beneficial. "We'll give it a shot," warns Pušić.

Highlights: Shakhtar 1-3 FC Porto

Milan aiming to time their run
The last spot up for grabs is in Group F, where Paris, Newcastle and Milan are all in contention to join Dortmund in advancing. The French side are in the box seat thanks to their late draw with Newcastle last time out, and victory in Dortmund would secure their last-16 place as group winners. Slip, though, and Newcastle or Milan could take it away from them.

It has been an up-and-down campaign for the Rossoneri. Their solitary victory to date came against Paris but there is no masking their issues in front of goal – no team has scored fewer in the competition. Get that right, though, and last season's semi-finalists could yet make another surprise run.

Highlights: Milan 0-0 Newcastle

When is the last-16 draw?

The round of 16 draw takes place on Monday 18 December, from noon CET. Group winners will be drawn against runners-up, though no side can face another team from the same national association and clubs cannot face opponents they met during the group stage.

Further ahead
• Round of 16 first legs take place over two weeks, on 13/14/20/21 February; the second legs are scheduled for 5/6/12/13 March.
