The 2023/24 Champions League is approaching its conclusion as teams around Europe aim to qualify for the knockout stages.
Clubs from the eight groups have battled it out to reach the last 16, with holders Manchester City and regular winners Real Madrid assured of their places. The proper cash rewards start to pile up here, which can hand a major financial boost for smaller sides.
The top two teams in each group reach the knockout stages, with third place dropping into the Europa League. Group winners are then drawn against the runners up.
Here are all the teams that have qualified so far and how the groups currently look.
Group A
Bayern Munich - Winners
Bayern Munich took no prisoners as they stormed to 12 points from their first four games, sealing top spot.
Harry Kane is back in form in Europe having scored only one Champions League goal in 2022/23 with Spurs and Thomas Tuchel's side will fancy themselves for a deep run in the knockout stages.
Man Utd are in serious danger of dropping out of the competition and can't afford to suffer defeat to Galatasaray, with the Turkish side and Copenhagen both a point ahead of the Red Devils.
