All four British clubs in the competition managed to top their groups, as West Ham edged Freiburg and Brighton leapfrogged Marseille late on in their final game. Rangers pulled off a stunning win at Real Betis to secure their spot in the last-16 too, whereas Liverpool enjoyed something of a cruise.

That means today's draw will focus on the likes of Roma and Sporting CP facing the teams which finished third in their Champions League group, such as AC Milan and Benfica.
