European champions AC Milan led a parade of five clubs into the last 16 of the Champions League after winning 1-0 at Ajax Amsterdam in their penultimate Group H match tonight.
Eight clubs have now qualified for the second phase - AC Milan, Chelsea, Juventus, Manchester United, Monaco, Porto, Real Madrid and VfB Stuttgart.
The remaining eight places will be decided after the final Group stage matches on December 9th and 10th.
Although UEFA Cup places are still up for grabs for teams finishing third in their groups, four clubs were definitely knocked out of the competition tonight - Rangers and Panathinaikos (Group E) and Olympique Marseille and Partizan Belgrade (Group F).
Porto made sure of their place in the last 16 with a 2-1 home win over Partizan Belgrade, with Benni McCarthy scoring twice, meaning they go through to the knockout stage from Group F along with already-qualified Real Madrid.
Madrid won 2-1 at Marseille after David Beckham opened the scoring with a 35th minute free-kick and Ronaldo struck the 73rd minute winner after Mido's 63rd minute equaliser.
Lazio and Besiktas drew 1-1 in the other Group G match in Rome to keep their chances alive.
