Shakhtar finished level with Borussia Monchengladbach on eight points but lost out to the Bundesliga side - beaten 2-0 by Real Madrid - on its head-to-head record to finish third and will go into the Europa League instead.

Inter, which could have gone through with a win, finished bottom of the group with six points after drawing three of its six games. Real won the group with 10 points.
