Juventus v Atletico Madrid: Group D - UEFA Champions League

Qualified as Group Winner: Juventus (13 points)

With four wins out of 5, Juventus have qualified to the knockout stages as group winners. Paulo Dybala's brilliant free-kick against Atletico Madrid helped Juventus take away the top spot in Group C.

While Juventus have secured their place as group toppers, Atletico Madrid (7 points) and Bayer Leverkusen (6 points) are still in contention for the second qualifying spot. A win for Atletico against Lokomotiv Moscow will award them the 2nd position, but anything other than that might allow Bayer Leverkusen to take it away.

Lokomotiv Moscow (3 points) are confirmed to finish last in the group.
