Ahmed Musa and his Leicester City teammates were dismantled in their final group game of the Champions League against Porto at the Dragao Stadium on Tuesday evening.
Goals from Jesus Corona, Diogo Joto, Yacine Brahimi and a brace from Andre Silva helped the Portuguese side to a 5-0 defeat of Leicester, who were however already through to the next round of the competition as group leaders.
Elsewhere, a left-footed shot from the centre of the box by Marco Reus into the high centre of the post saw Dortmund force Real Madrid to a 2-2 draw in their final UEFA Champions League group clash on Wednesday.
Real were already coasting away to finish top in Group F after Karim Benzema scored two goals but the Germans kept their cool and effectively pegged back the defending champions.
At the end, Dortmund finished with 14 points while Real Madrid could only muster 12 points from their six group games.
The roster of 16 teams for the knockout phase is now complete
The 16 teams to qualify for the second round are Arsenal, PSG, Napoli, Benfica, Barcelona, Manchester City, Atletico Madrid, Bayern Munchen, Monaco, Bayer Leverkusen, Borussia Dortmund, Real Madrid, Leicester City, Porto, Juventus and Sevilla.
