Wednesday round-up
Chelsea FC became the first UEFA Champions League holders to exit the competition at the group stage despite a 6-1 home victory against FC Nordsjælland. They needed Juventus to lose at FC Shakhtar Donetsk to go through from second place in Group E, but the Bianconeri won 1-0 and therefore progress as winners ahead of the Ukrainian side.

In Group F, FC Bayern München, already qualified along with Valencia CF, wrapped up top spot courtesy of a 4-1 success at home to FC BATE Borisov. Celtic rubber-stamped their ticket after beating FC Spartak Moskva 2-1 in Glasgow, Kris Commons scoring the decisive goal from the penalty spot with nine minutes left. It means they finish second in Group G behind FC Barcelona, who were held to a goalless Camp Nou draw by SL Benfica.

Manchester United FC had secured first place in Group H with two games to spare yet concluded their campaign with a second successive defeat, 1-0 at home to CFR 1907 Cluj. It was not enough for the Romanian team, however, who came in third on head-to-head record behind Galatasaray, 2-1 victors at SC Braga thanks to Aydın Yılmaz's 78th-minute goal.
