Bafetimbi Gomis
The Lyon striker helped his side into the last 16 with the fastest ever Champions League hat-trick when scoring three times in seven minutes to break Mike Newell's record for Blackburn.
Andre Villas-Boas
Under extreme pressure, the Chelsea boss ditched his high defensive line and was rewarded with a fine performance from his side as they defeated Valencia 3-0 to qualify for the last 16.
Mathieu Valbuena
With Olympiacos tentatively celebrating their place in the next round, the Marseille midfielder popped up with a superb late winner to ensure that instead it was the French side who qualified.

The Italian club beat Manchester City to second spot in Group A thanks to a 2-0 win at Villarreal and have not enjoyed this much success in Europe since the days of Maradona.
Barcelona
The Spanish champions fielded a reserve side against BATE Borisov in their final group game but still sauntered to a 4-0 victory as they topped Group H by seven points.
The city of Manchester
Manchester City's Champions League exit was at least predictable; United's was just shocking. England's two most powerful clubs now find themselves in the Europa League.
