Leverkusen and Shakhtar were shoot-out winners while Sporting CP and Juventus found their feet on their travels to secure passage through the UEFA Europa League knockout round play-offs.

Man United 2-1 Barcelona (agg: 4-3)

Barcelona struck first in the heavyweight showdown at Old Trafford, David De Gea unable to keep out Robert Lewandowski's 18th-minute penalty as the visitors regained the lead in the tie. The Spanish side dominated first-half possession, but were pegged back as Fred finished from Bruno Fernandes' ball two minutes after the interval. United substitute Antony then scored what proved to be the winner, finishing low past Marc-André ter Stegen on 73 minutes

Juventus saw off ten-man Nantes thanks to an inspired Ángel Di María. The Argentinian hit a hat-trick, including an unstoppable curling drive with just five minutes gone. Another effort was blocked by the hand of Canaries defender Nicolas Pallois, who was dismissed, the Juve winger converting the resulting spot kick. Di María completed his treble with 12 minutes remaining with a glancing header at the far post.

Midtjylland 0-4 Sporting CP (agg: 1-5)

Sporting CP trailed until late on in the first leg, and built on that momentum when Sebastián Coates headed their first in Denmark. Midtjylland's Paulinho was then dismissed after collecting two bookings in as many first-half minutes and Pedro Gonçalves pressed the visitors' advantage with a sublime volley. His deflected second and a Stefan Gartenmann own goal completed a big away win.

Rennes 2-1 Shakhtar (agg: 3-3, Shakhtar win 5-4 on pens)

Andriy Trubin saved three spot kicks in the shoot-out as weary Shakhtar progressed in sudden death, Kevin Kelsy converting the winner. Karl Toko Ekambi fired in off the crossbar to level the tie in normal time, and substitute Ibrahim Salah seemed to have won it for Rennes when he scored at the start of the second half of extra time. However, 18-year-old Jeanuël Belocian's late own goal threw the Pitmen a lifeline they duly grasped.

Former Ajax youth-team player Danilho Doekhi put the seal on Union's first Europa League knockout win at the expense of his old club. Robin Knoche's penalty and Josip Juranović's finish had put Union 2-0 up at half-time.

Ruud van Nistelrooy's side came agonisingly close to extra time despite failing to trouble their guests for much of the night. Ivan Rakitić crashed a shot against the bar for the visitors after the break, but PSV took courage from Luuk de Jong's 77th-minute effort against his old club. De Jong then had a second ruled out for offside, and further chances fell to Johan Bakayoko before Fábio Silva's second goal arrived too late.

The Giallorossi dominated from the off and got their breakthrough shortly after the half-hour when Belotti nodded in after good work by Leonardo Spinazzola. Seven minutes later, Spinazzola picked out Dybala, who earned his side an aggregate victory with a stunning first-time effort.
