Thursday saw the conclusion of the group phase of the 2024/25 Europa League to finalise who advances to the knockout stage.
Manchester United's 2-0 win at FCSB means they are the only club to come through the group matches with an unbeaten record and they go straight to the last 16.
Despite a 1-0 defeat at Braga, Lazio finished top of the table ahead of Athletic Club on goal difference. The Italian and Spanish clubs ended with identical records of six wins, one draw and one defeat for a haul of 19 points.
An injury-hit Tottenham shook off their wretched domestic form to beat Elfsborg 3-0, while Eintracht Frankfurt sans Omar Marmoush following his €70 million-plus move to Manchester City, did enough to finish in the top eight despite a 2-0 loss at Roma.

Who meets in the play-off phase?
The teams who finished between ninth and 24th play two-legged play-off ties on February 13 and 20 to decide who goes through to the last 16.
The draw will take place on Friday at 4pm, but teams already know which sides they have a 50-50 chance of meeting because of their final positions in the league phase.
Teams also know the two possible clubs they could face in the last 16 if they progress through the play-off.
Fenerbahce or Twente will face either Bodo/Glimt or Anderlecht, with Ferencvaros or Porto set to meet Roma or Viktoria Plzen.
Union Saint-Gilloise or PAOK take on FCSB or Ajax and AZ Alkmaar or Midtjylland can be drawn against Real Sociedad or Galatasaray.
