Chelsea through to the last-16 of the Champions League

Chelsea through to the last-16 of the Champions League

Chelsea are into the last-16 of the Champions League - but Manchester United will have to wait to guarantee their place in the next round.

Willian scored twice as the Premier League champions comfortably won 4-nil against Qarabag in Azerbaijan - while Jose Mourinho's men lost 1-nil to Basel.

Michael Lang's last minute strike gave the Swiss champions a 1-nil win.

United are still top of Group A with a game to go - and goal difference means they're very likely to qualify anyway.

Manager Jose Mourinho says had more than enough chances to win the game.

 

Brendan Rodgers says he couldn't have asked anything more from his Celtic players last night.

They were thrashed 7-1 by a rampant Paris Saint Germain at the Parc des Princes.

Their one note of consolation was Moussa Dembele (PR: Dem-bell-lay)'s strike, which opened the scoring and was also the first goal conceded by P-S-G in this season's competition.

Celtic go into the final round of games in a fortnight with a decent chance of a Europa League spot - they just need a point at home to Anderlecht.

Meanwhile,

Arsenal will look to continue their Europa League campaing unbeaten this evening.

Arsene Wenger's side are away to Group H's bottom side, Cologne.

That game kicks off at 6.
