Manchester United’s proud 23 match Champions League unbeaten run came to an end on Wednesday as they lost 1-0 to Turkish side Besiktas.
United had already qualified for the knockout stages but they still need a point from their visit to Wolfsburg – who lost 2-1 to CSKA Moscow – in a fortnight to wrap up top spot.
Germany’s ailing four-time champions Bayern Munich kept their hopes alive and handed a much needed lifeline to coach Louis van Gaal with a 1-0 win at home to bottom-placed Maccabi Haifa.
Bordeaux did them a favour by beating Juventus 2-0 to ensure they finish top of their group while Chelsea also ensured they finished top with an efficient 1-0 win away at Porto.
