The exciting stages are certainly still to come David. The draw is on Monday with some truly mouth-watering ties on the cards.

Join us tomorrow as Manchester City aim to secure their place in the last 16.

Good night!

"Arsenal have beaten Galatasaray twice by four goals, who've conceded 16 goals without winning a game.

"They've definitely been the poor relations of that group.

"Before a ball was kicked, we'd have said Arsenal and Dortmund would go through. There's a bit of glamour gone form the group stage when we have an assumption of who will go through.

"Generally speaking, it goes to form and the exciting stages of the Champions League are yet to come."

Indeed Niklas. The Swiss league may be under-rated. Every time I've seen Basel (which is admittedly those eight occasions), they look a very decent outfit indeed.

At a Christmas meal tonight. Do I need to call Mrs Yeboah about Aaron Ramsey? #thronker

David Pleat
Former Tottenham manager on BBC Radio 5 live:

"We often talk about why teams aren't pro-active rather than reactive. It's so important to go and get the first goal and put your opposition on the back foot.

"It's important to play that opening 20 minutes with tempo. It's something Arsenal have been good at in recent years, but Liverpool didn't deliver that tonight.

"Liverpool had to be reactive in the second half as they were so poor in the first."

Just two spots available in the last 16 now, with Manchester City hoping to be able to take one of those.

Atletico Madrid, Juventus, Real Madrid, Basel, Monaco, Bayer Leverkusen, Borussia Dortmund, Arsenal, Bayern Munich, Paris St-Germain, Barcelona, Chelsea, Porto, Shakhtar Donetsk.

Kevin in Hornchurch: Liverpool post Suarez and Spurs post Bale have spent £250 million between them and you couldn't say a combined team would win anything. Simply shocking investment of funds. Modern day football as we know it. Laughable as it is scandalous.

John Shaw:, external The only mistake Rodgers made with Lallana was buying him in the 1st place

'The fingernail barely touched his nose'. Not a quote you hear from a manager very often, but Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers is not happy about that red card shown to Lazar Markovic.

'The Europa League is still a prestigious tournament' - there's another quote you don't hear very often...

Alexander Green:, external Arsenal fans keen to get rid of Wenger should maybe look at Liverpool and realise what he achieves isn't that easy

Charlie Varley:, external That may well be Steven Gerrard's last ever Champions League match. Is this goodbye to one of Europe's greatest?

Arsenal's list of potential opponents reads like a horror film.

Both Madrid sides, Barcelona or PSG, Bayern Munich, Monaco and Porto are all on the list.

Arsene Wenger on the disappointment of finishing second in the group: "We won four games, lost one and had one draw. Looking back, we can maybe regret that point at home to Anderlecht.

"There's some great teams in the draw for the last 16 and we need to wait and see who we get."

Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers speaking to ITV Sport: "We have to fight going forward to be in this competition next season. We are not too far off the top four and, if we get there, we will be better in it next season. The possibility of January signings is something to discuss with the owners, but there was a big investment in the summer. We have been unlucky with injuries to key players who are important to the way that we play, but that is to take nothing away from the players tonight who have put everything into the game."

On Lazar Markovic's sending off:" I thought it was an awful decision, I thought the referee was poor tonight to say the least. Young Markovic has come on and been bright and, although he has put his hand out, it was not a sending off. The referee has seen the lad lying on the floor holding his face, but I don't know if he has seen the actual incident."

Rich in Hampshire: Away at Man Utd, a tricky league cup tie at Bournemouth and then home to Arsenal - it's not going to get any easier for Liverpool.

Full-times blowing around the grounds and this is who have booked their places in the last 16.

In Group A, Atletico Madrid and Juventus are through after sharing a goalless draw in Turin.

In Group C, Monaco go through as group winners, despite scoring only scoring four goals across their six games. Half of those came tonight in a 2-0 win over Zenit St Petersburg which leapfrogged them over Bayer Leverkusen in second.

It briefly looked as though Arsenal might overhaul Borussia Dortmund at the top of Group D after a early slew of goals against Galatasaray, but the Gunners ran out of steam and now settle for second place on goal difference.

Arsene Wenger on Aaron Ramsey's second goal of the night: "When he took the shot I thought that was maybe not the best idea, but the way he took it, it flew in.

"The goals he is scoring is linked to his performances at the moment and that certainly helps his confidence to score goals like that."

You need to see Aaron Ramsey's second goal tonight. Wow doesn't cover it.

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger speaking to Sky Sports: "There's a little bit of frustration that we have finished runners-up, but we knew at half time we needed to score six goals without conceding.

"Fortunately, it wasn't enough, we finished with 13 points and did the job tonight.

"We came out strong and that's what I wanted from these players."

Will Liverpool be back in the Champions League next season? They are six points short of the top four as it stands.

Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers starts his interview by pointing out that it has been five or six years since Liverpool were in the Champions League but 'we'll be better next season.'

His players are giving their all, he says. Full reaction to come.
