Tuesday night’s Champions League action provided plenty of drama as Liverpool qualified for the round of 16, while Real Madrid lost to be left on the brink of leaving the group stage.

Liverpool beat a nervous Anfield match against Ajax 1-0 thanks to a goal by Curtis Jones, while Real lost 2-0 at Shakhtar Donetsk to leave them on matchday six needing to get results to continue his path and stay in the competition, and early reports from Spain suggest that Zinedine Zidane’s job could be in immediate jeopardy after that loss.

On the other hand, Inter Milan sealed a vital 3-2 win at Borussia Monchengladbach to leave Group B in the balance, meaning that Inter, Gladbach, Real and Shakhtar can still qualify in their final match.

Manchester City clinched top spot in Group C with a 0-0 draw at FC Porto, and the Portuguese club joined them in the next round. Atalanta drew 1-1 with Midtjylland to dent their hopes for progress, while Marseille fought back to beat Olympiacos 2-1.
