Thomas Tuchel and his boys have done a tremendous job of finishing top and winning their group. But the real work starts now and they have opened the possibility of facing the likes of Manchester City or PSG in the next stages with both the sides coming as second best in their group.

Real Madrid, on the other hand, might feel dejected to lose the top spot with both teams playing out to win but all is not gone awry for Zinedine Zidane as his side have a lot of average opponents in the next draw. Leicester City are one of them as Madrid would feel lucky to avoid the likes of Manchester City and Bayern Munich to face so early in the competition.
