Paris Saint-Germain's Ousmane Dembélé hit a hat trick as all four French sides involved in the Champions League survived the cut of 12 teams to move into Friday's draw for the second phase of European club football's most prestigious tournament.

Lille walloped Feyenoord 6-1 in the final game of the group stages to finish seventh in the 36-team division and gain automatic qualification to the last-16 knockout round.

The other three sides – PSG, Monaco and Brest – completed their campaigns in 15th, 17th and 18th respectively. They will contest a two-leg play-off for a place in the last-16.

Dembélé scored his first at the MHPArena in Stuttugart in the 17th minute to double his side's advantage in a game they had to win in order to be assured of advancing to the play-off places.

He slotted in his second just before half-time to put PSG in control.

The 27-year-old completed his hit a hat trick nine minutes into the second-half to give PSG a 4-0 lead.

William Pacho put through his own net 12 minutes from time to gift the Gerrmans a consolation goal. PSG's 15th place finish means they will be one of the eight seeded teams for the play-offs where they could play Brest or Monaco.

Other unseeded teams include Feyenoord, Juventus, Celtic, Manchester City, Sporting Lisbon and Club Brugge.
