The UEFA Champions League's first-ever league phase came to a dramatic close on Wednesday, setting up for an equally entertaining knockout stage that begins in two weeks' time. The introduction of the new format means the Champions League will introduce a new phase of competition in February when 16 teams will take part in the knockout round playoffs.

After a chaotic final Champions League league phase matchday, Real Madrid now know their two potential opponents for the knockout phase playoffs.

Thibaut Courtois said Real Madrid "aren't afraid of anyone" as they await Friday's Champions League playoff draw, which will see them face Manchester City or Celtic for a place in the round of 16.
