After matchday five, how are the British sides faring in the Champions League - who can still go through, who's teetering and who is out?
Manchester United remain bottom of Group A after throwing away a 3-1 lead at Galatasaray to draw 3-3.
But United can still progress from the final round of matches on Tuesday December 12.
Man Utd must beat Bayern Munich and hope Galatasaray draw at FC Copenhagen to qualify.
If either Copenhagen or Galatasaray win, United will be knocked out of the Champions League.
After their surprise 0-0 stalemate in Germany, which has left them second in the group, a draw for Copenhagen, meanwhile, would be sufficient for them to progress to the last-16 so long as United don't beat Bayern.
United must take at least a point against Bayern to have any hope of playing European football after Christmas. As it stands, United are fourth in their group and heading out of Europe.
A draw against Bayern and a Copenhagen win would see United finish level on points with Galatasaray but finish bottom of the group because of their inferior head-to-head record against the Turkish side.
A draw against Bayern and a Galatasaray win would see United finish level on points with Copenhagen but qualify for the Europa League due to scoring more goals in the group stage than the Danish side.
But if United don't beat Bayern, they cannot finish higher than third in Group A.
In Group B, Arsenal thrashed Lens to qualify as group winners with a match to spare.
Manchester City secured top spot in Group G and a seeding in the last-16 draw after they beat RB Leipzig 3-2.
Arsenal and City are among 12 teams now certain to be in the last 16:
Arsenal, Atletico Madrid, Barcelona, Bayern Munich, Dortmund, Inter, Lazio, Leipzig, Man City, PSV, Real Madrid, Real Sociedad
Of the 12, only four teams are certain to progress as group winners:
Arsenal, Bayern, Man City, Real Madrid
All of the remaining matches will be played across Tuesday December 12 and Wednesday December 13.
But Newcastle's fate is now out of their hands. Kylian Mbappe's stoppage-time equaliser after a dubious penalty award by VAR snatched a 1-1 draw for PSG deep into stoppage time.
They must now beat AC Milan at St James' Park in their final group game, and hope Dortmund can pick up at least a point at the Westfalenstadion against PSG to leapfrog the French champions and sneak second spot.
Celtic are out of the Champions League and cannot qualify for the Europa League knockout spots after two late Ciro Immobile goals saw Lazio beat them 2-0 in Rome.
So, how do things now look across all the groups?
