    Benfica football fans are celebrating a dramatic Champions League group stage finish

    Benfica football fans are celebrating a dramatic Champions League group stage finish


    The side led Real Madrid 3-2 in stoppage time, but required one more goal to move from 25th to 24th on goal difference to advance to the play-off round.

    Enter an unlikely hero... Anatoliy Trubin on DAZN.



    The loss denied Real Madrid a top-eight spot, which guarantees direct entry into the round-of-16.

    Five English clubs have advanced in that fashion - Arsenal, Liverpool, Tottenham, Chelsea and Manchester City.

    They're joined by Bayern Munich, Barcelona and Sporting Lisbon.
