Champions League: Liverpool enter last 16, Real's hopes dented

Football clubs shifted focus to the Champions League on Tuesday night and Liverpool beat Ajax 1-0 to seal a berth in the last 16. Curtis Jones scored his first Champions League goal to break a 58-minute deadlock which proved to be the winner. 

Manchester City on the other hand were held to a goalless draw against Porto as their late goal was ruled out. However, it proved enough for the Citizens to enter knock-out stages as group winners for the fifth time in the last six seasons. 

Real Madrid's hopes of making it to the last 16 though dealt a blow as they were handed a 2-0 defeat by Shakhtar Donetsk. Real now need to beat leaders Borussia Monchengladbach in order to go through.
