Manchester City snuck their way into the UEFA Champions League knockout rounds on Wednesday, avoiding elimination on a dramatic final day of the competition's first-ever league phase. Pep Guardiola's side entered halftime with a 1-0 deficit to Club Brugge but three goals after halftime ensured they would clinch a spot in the top 24 and participate in the knockout round playoffs with a 3-1 win.

The striker has broken multiple records since moving to the Allianz Arena in 2023, but he's now not scored from open play for 541 minutes

Dortmund's Serhou Guirassy and Robert Lewandowski of Barcelona end the league phase as joint-top scorers with nine goals each.

Ruben Dias picks up a yellow card for a poor challenge, and from the free kick João Neves should do much better as he heads over unmarked! A let off for Man City. Milan have been forced into an early change as Emerson Royal is forced off with injury.

Inter Milan, Arsenal and Atletico Madrid sealed top-eight finishes as expected – joining Liverpool and Barcelona advancing directly to the round of 16 – with low-key wins. Inter beat Monaco 3-0, Arsenal won 2-1 at Girona and Atletico won 4-1 at Salzburg, which had a woeful campaign.

Matchday 7 of the 2024-25 UEFA Champions League delivered thrilling action, highlighted by Paris Saint-Germain's incredible 4-2 victory over Man City and Barcelona's stunning 5-4 comeback victory over SL Benfica.
