The group stage is over!

Tottenham lost a real battle against the hosts Girona by 3:5 and thus saw their qualification for the next phase slip away, due to the concomitant 3:0 victory of the Germans of Stuttgart over the now relegated Union St. Gilloise.

In Group C, the German team Leipzig finished in first place, despite suffering a 1:3 defeat, while Brighton qualified due to the greater number of goals scored against CSKA. The Russians beat Benfica 2:0, condemning the Portuguese to relegation.

A tit for tat in the first half between Manchester Utd. and Atletico Madrid, then the hostilities ended and both teams were promoted to the knockout stage. In the other match of Group F, the Japanese team Yokohama beat Galatasaray 1:0. A surprising defeat for the Turkish team, who despite their stellar attacking trio were almost never dangerous, except for a shot by Maertens in the 35th minute. The Asian team defended themselves in order after the goal was scored and achieved safety.

In Group D, the English Foxes beat the hosts Villareal 3:2 and take first place in the standings. In the other match, the Portuguese team Sporting defeated the Arabs Al Hilal with a clear 3:0, which however was not enough to qualify.

See you soon with the draw for the round of 16!
