Which teams are through to the next round?
Spurs will have the same selection of possible rivals, with the exception of Anderlecht, who were their group stage rivals.
The latter two both topped their respective groups thanks to final day victories, ensuring they are amongst the eight seeded teams for Monday’s draw.
Goal-line technology is likely to be used during Euro 2016 as well as in next season’s Champions League, with UEFA saying a final decision will be taken at the end of January 2016.
Given the position of Real Madrid and PSG in the table, fellow Group A sides Shakhtar Donetsk and Malmo were arguably always facing mission impossible, although United’s failure shows that money is not in fact everything.
Worst case draw for Manchester City, Chelsea and Arsenal? Reaching the last 16 will earn 1.5 million, with an additional 2.5 million for reaching the quarterfinals and another 4 million for semifinalists. Jose Mourinho’s side will also be dreading a two-legged tie against last season’s beaten finalists Juventus.
And who could each team face?
With his 11 goals, Ronaldo has already scored more in this season’s Champions League than in the previous campaign, when he, Lionel Messi and Neymar finished as joint-top goalscorers after netting 10 times.
And where will it take place?

When are the last 16 fixtures scheduled for?
