Who has qualified for the 2023/24 Champions League knockout stages?
The 2023/24 Champions League is approaching its conclusion as teams around Europe aim to qualify for the knockout stages.
Clubs from the eight groups have battled it out to reach the last 16, with holders Manchester City and regular winners Real Madrid assured of their places. The proper cash rewards start to pile up here, which can hand a major financial boost for smaller sides.
The top two teams in each group reach the knockout stages, with third place dropping into the Europa League. Group winners are then drawn against the runners-up.
Here are all the teams that have qualified so far and how the groups currently look.

Winners - Bayern Munich
Bayern Munich took no prisoners as they stormed to 12 points from their first four games, sealing top spot.
Harry Kane is back in form in Europe having scored only one Champions League goal in 2022/23 with Spurs and Thomas Tuchel's side will fancy themselves for a deep run in the knockout stages.
Runners-up - TBC
The runners-up spot is up for grabs for the rest of the teams in Group A, though Manchester United will need to beat Bayern and hope the other fixture between Copenhagen and Galatasaray ends in a draw.
