- Through on Tuesday: Madrid, Leverkusen, Monaco, Leicester, Juventus
- Dortmund beat Legia 8-4, the highest scoring game ever in the competition
- Sevilla and Porto miss chance as Lyon and FCK remain alive
MONACO secured top spot in group E & a place in the round 16 courtesy of a 2-1 victory on home turf against Tottenham Hotspur, who can now finish no higher than 3rd.
Monaco are unbeaten in 14 home games since 1 April 
Lloris said before this game that it would be a "failure" if Tottenham went out at the group stage, but by their own high standards the Lilywhites have failed in this European venture.
Spurs cannot say they have performed to their best in any UEFA Champions League fixture this term and they were all at sea defensively in Monaco, despite Lloris's heroics
Hugo superbly saves Falcao's penalty.
HUGO: "We're very disappointed, very frustrated. We started too slow and sloppy. We didn't deserve to win tonight."
Real Madrid are 30 games unbeaten in all comps since April 2016 (W23 D7) 
Leicester City's dream UEFA Champions League debut goes on after they beat Club Brugge to book a place in the last 16 as Group G winners with a game to spare.
A lovely finish from Shinji Okazaki set Claudio Ranieri's side on their way after just five minutes, and when Riyad Mahrez doubled the lead from the penalty spot – his fourth goal in five UEFA Champions League matches – the writing was on the wall for the point-less visitors.
CLAUDIO: "Very happy for the club, Chairman, the lads, our fans. We're on another journey. I don't know where, but we're excited!"
MORGAN: "For a club like #lcfc to finish top of our #ucl group is an amazing achievement. Been better than we could have imagined.
Dortmund and Legia combine to smash goals records
Key player: Marco Reus (Dortmund)
Reus banished any doubts about his match sharpness with a virtuoso display. Other players might have tired on their first competitive outing in six months. Not Reus. That the German international was still going strong at the death, when he fashioned his team's eighth, was testament to his endurance levels.
