What a night of drama that was.
Ajax, the team that dazzled football fans across the world on the way to the semifinal stage of last season's Champions League, was dumped out at the group stage by Valencia after a 1-0 defeat in Amsterdam.
Also out is Inter Milan, beaten at home by a second-string Barcelona which claimed a 2-1 win and lent a helping hand to Borussia Dortmund, which clinched second spot in Group F after seeing off Slavia Prague.
Oh, and Napoli sacked coach Carlo Ancelotti just hours after making it through to the last 16.

Our resident Liverpool expert John Sinnott has drafted

We're back on Wednesday for more, you don't want to miss it.
Until then, so long, farewell, auf Wiedersehen, goodbye.
