Record 13-time champion Real Madrid face an embarrassing group-stage exit after losing 2-0 at Shakhtar Donetsk in Tuesday�s Champions League game while former champions Liverpool and Porto eased to the knockout stage.

Zinedine Zidane�s side would have advanced with a win, but it has defended poorly all season and was undone by counterattack goals in the second half. Instead of progressing, Madrid dropped to third place in Group B behind the Ukrainian side and Borussia M�nchengladbach.
Six-time champions Liverpool overcame injury problems to beat four-time winner Ajax 1-0 at Anfield, thanks to a second-half goal from midfielder Curtis Jones.

Two-time winners Porto held already-qualified Manchester City to a 0-0 draw at home, although City ensured the top spot.

No drama in those two groups, but plenty in Madrid�s as Gladbach missed the chance to advance after losing 3-2 at home to three-time champion Inter Milan, which had to win.

Atl�tico Madrid did not do enough, drawing 1-1 at home to Bayern Munich even though the defending champions fielded a weakened side having already qualified.
