The Champions League’s first-ever league phase has been done and dusted.

We now are aware, for the first time, which teams advance to the knockout stages of the Champions League after a thrilling last round of games.

Aston Villa and Arsenal joined Liverpool, who had long secured their spot in the round of 16, while Manchester City overcame a deficit to defeat Club Brugge and secure a spot in the playoffs.

They are going to play Real Madrid or Bayern Munich in the playoffs due to their 22nd-place result. A very tough draw for a side that has had a lot of trouble this season without Rodri.

While the other sixteen teams go through a two-leg playoff, the top eight teams from the standings receive a direct place in the round of 16. Teams will be aware of their opponents when Friday’s playoff draw occurs.

Now that the Champions League league phase has been concluded the teams will look forward to playing in their next round. The last day of the Champions League league phase saw ultimate entertainment as many sides fought their way to either secure a place in a playoff or with a top-eight finish into the round of 16.
