Champions League state of play: Liverpool are one of four teams to have qualified for the last-16, but Man United, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid still have it all to do with two matchdays left

The Champions League group stage has reached its business end seemingly in the blink of an eye, with Liverpool becoming the first English representative to book their spot in the last-16 on Wednesday night.

They did so with another dazzling display against Diego Simeone's Atletico Madrid, strolling past the Spaniards 2-0 at Anfield to claim their fourth win in as many outings and secure their spot as Group B winners.

Fellow European giants Ajax also needed just four games to confirm their progression out of the group with a highly impressive 3-1 win away at German outfit Borussia Dortmund, who are now in a battle to qualify for the knockout stages.
