Manchester United’s hopes of qualifying for the knockout stages of the Champions League are out of their hands as they head into the final round of group matches.
Fellow Premier League side Newcastle United are also reliant on other results going their way – and both English teams must win to have a chance of progressing.
Meanwhile, holders Manchester City and Arsenal have already booked their place in the last 16 as group winners.
They will be joined in the knockout stage by RB Leipzig, Bayern Munich, Inter Milan, Real Madrid, Real Sociedad, Atletico Madrid, Lazio, Borussia Dortmund and Barcelona and PSV Eindhoven.
Celtic’s European hopes ended with one match remaining as the Scottish champions lost to Lazio.
The top two teams in each of the eight groups advance to the knockouts, with third place going into the Europa League.

They will advance as group winners unless they lose to Royal Antwerp in their final fixture and Shakhtar, who have a better head-to-head record than Barca, beat Porto.
Only a Shakhtar win over Porto at Estadio do Dragao will mean the Ukrainian champions advance to the last 16. Any other result and the Portuguese outfit will progress.
