Bayern Munich needed a Champions League play-off to reach the last 16. Surprisingly, Vincent Kompany’s men missed out on the top eight, finishing in 12th on 15 points. They won five and lost three of eight league-phase games.

FC Hollywood were pushed close in the play-offs by Scottish champions Celtic. After a narrow 2-1 win in Glasgow, Bayern needed a stoppage-time Alphonso Davies goal to draw 1-1 in Munich and go through.

Leverkusen were one of eight teams to qualify automatically for the last 16. Xabi Alonso’s side picked up five wins and a draw to finish on 16 points, a point above Bayern.

Bayer took seven points from their opening three before a heavy 4-0 loss at Liverpool. They went on to win three of the final four to secure sixth place in the table.
