Champions League group stages are over and the boys have been separated from the men going to the next stage of the championship.
With 15 teams already qualified before the last match day, French League side Lyon needed to secure at least a point against Shakhtar Donetsk to seal their passage.
And a Nabil Fekir's second half strike earned them the needed point to complete the 16 teams for the round of 16 stage and render Junior Moraes early goal a consolation.

Others are Atletico Madrid, Borussia Dortmund, Paris Saint Germain, Liverpool, FC Porto, Schalke O4, Bayern Munich, Ajax, AS Roma, Juventus, and Manchester United.
