With 19 minutes:

Porto 1-0 Atlético
Bayer Leverkusen 0-0 Club Brugge

With these results Bayer Leverkusen gets the Europa League spot and Atlético finishes last in the group, Porto gets the 1st spot in the group.

2-0 already, this Atletico side is hopeless.
For a side that use to be very very hard to break down, there awful this season. Concede for fun. A shame I wanted to meet them in the Europa and give them some payback.

Great seeing Atletico getting dumped out of the Europa also. One less shithouse team to face in the play-offs potentially.

Hopefully Leverkusen can sneak into Europa. One less Spanish team to deal with.

Milner and Jones. Yay. Nice to see Konate back but I do expect Napoli to turn us over.

Are Liverpool holding out for the possibility you win by 4 goals and get top spot? If not, surely makes sense to put out a complete 2nd string.

Not so fast... Leverkusen - Brugge is still 0-0 and Brugge is doing at the moment, if they win, Leverkusen is last and Atletico stays in the EL

Oh that's a shocker from the ref and VAR in the Atletico match. Never a foul.

Wouldn't surprise me. Run ourselves into the ground tonight in a meaningless game only for Spurs to turn us over on Sunday.

Are Leverkusen/Brugge fans singing "Don't take me home" or some other German/Belgian alternative?

United target Frimpong looks brainless. I'm guessing he's not usually this shite?

They can only meet Europa League runners up in the next round. So Union Berlin v Barcelona confirmed.
Do you really want to give Barca a complete German trauma, after what they experienced against Bayern and Frankfurt in recent seasons?

This most fateful of all games might take place in the next round, then.

Atleti got absolutely slaughtered. Verh lucky to lose 2-1. Hell, even 2-0 flattered them

Btw that group has been pretty mad. Now I know xG is far from the be all end all of understanding games, but before tonight's games:
Brugge - Bayer 0.5 - 1.0
Atleti - Porto 0.8 - 2.0
Porto - Brugge 1.0 - 2.7
Bayer - Atleti 1.8 - 0.9
Porto - Bayer 1.1 - 1.3
Brugge - Atleti 1.2 - 2.3
Atleti - Brugge 1.9 - 0.6
Bayer - Porto 2.2 - 1.8
Brugge - Porto 1.3 - 3.1
Atleti - Bayer 2.5 - 1.5

xGD Atleti +1.4, Bayer +1, Porto +0.7, Brugge -3.1

So of course Atleti and Bayer went out after 5 games :lol:

Kinda feel like the Spurs game will be more interesting to watch than ours.

Don't know much about Atletico at the moment, but that fits the perception of Leverkusen this season very well - they just seem to be too lazy/stupid/disorganized/unlucky, so against them goals can be scored that should be defended and vice versa goals aren't scored that should be.
