Classy Atlético sealed top spot in Group E with a convincing win. Antoine Griezmann's fifth Champions League goal of the season got the hosts off to a flyer, the French international finishing coolly after good work from Samuel Lino.

Paris claimed their place in the last 16 in dramatic fashion as they held on for a point to edge out Milan on head-to-head record. After a rash of first-half missed chances, Karim Adeyemi got the opener for the hosts after the restart, only for Warren Zaïre-Emery to level almost immediately.

Samuel Chukwueze's 84th-minute strike sent Milan into the UEFA Europa League knockout round play-offs at the expense of a Newcastle side that began the night with last-16 ambitions. Joelinton curled in a sublime 33rd-minute opener for the hosts, only for Christian Pulišić to slot in the equaliser before the hour. Mike Maignan then turned Bruno Guimarães' effort against his bar before substitute Chukwueze's winner. Rafael Leão and Fikayo Tomori struck the woodwork for the visitors late on.

Final standings

Group G

Crvena zvezda 2-3 Man City

Highlights: Crvena zvezda 2-3 Man City

Pep Guardiola's men finished Group G with a perfect record after victory in Belgrade. Debutant Micah Hamilton powered the opener in from a tight angle 19 minutes into his City bow, with fellow 20-year-old Oscar Bobb adding an impressive second after a mazy run just after the hour. City were holding on in the end after a frantic finish in which Inbeom Hwang's low finish and Aleksandar Katai's header came either side of Kalvin Phillips' cool spot kick for the holders.
Player of the Match: Oscar Bobb (Man City)

Key stat: Man City are only the second English side to post a perfect group stage record, after Liverpool in 2021/22.

Leipzig 2-1 Young Boys

Highlights: Leipzig 2-1 Young Boys

Leipzig were assured of second place and YB third even before this game kicked off, but if the first half lacked intensity, the exhausting, end-to-end second more than made up for it. All three goals came in a six-minute spell shortly after the restart. Benjamin Šeško's clinical finish broke the deadlock, and though Ebrima Colley replied almost immediately on the counter, Emil Forsberg soon delivered what would – just about – prove the killer blow.
Player of the Match: Kevin Kampl (Leipzig)

Key stat: Leipzig have finished with 12 points in three of their last four Champions League group campaigns.

Group H

Porto 5-3 Shakhtar Donetsk

Highlights: FC Porto 5-3 Shakhtar Donetsk

A match billed as a head-to-head tussle for a last-16 spot did not disappoint. Porto were in the ascendancy from the moment Galeno's second of the night made it 2-1 before the break, restoring the lead after Danylo Sikan's equaliser. Mehdi Taremi's powerful shot early in the second half gave them a cushion, and although Stephen Eustáquio's own goal made it 3-2, Pepe and Francisco Conceição eased Porto nerves before Eguinaldo's late consolation.
Player of the Match: Galeno (Porto)

Key stat: Brazilian Galeno scored four goals in Porto's two meetings with Shakhtar.

Antwerp 3-2 Barcelona

Highlights: Antwerp 3-2 Barcelona

George Ilenikhena, 17, coolly finished an added-time one-on-one as Antwerp recorded a famous win. Barcelona's late pressure appeared to have paid dividends when their own young forward, Marc Guiu, made it 2-2 with his first Champions League goal, but the game ended as it had begun. Arthur Vermeeren opened the scoring after 90 seconds, Ferran Torres equalised and Vincent Janssen netted his first Champions League goal to set up the grandstand finale.
Player of the Match: Arthur Vermeeren (Antwerp)

Key stat: This was Antwerp's first Champions League victory, and came against a Barcelona team containing three former treble winners in Robert Lewandowski, İlkay Gündoğan and João Cancelo.
