Harry Kane missed a penalty but scored twice to lead Bayern Munich to a 2-0 win against Union Saint-Gilloise and into the Champions League last 16, while Liverpool are also on track for direct qualification after a 3-0 victory at Olympique Marseille on Wednesday.
Barcelona fell behind but fought back for a 4-2 win against Slavia Prague, and Chelsea entered the top eight thanks to a 1-0 triumph against Pafos.
Elsewhere, Athletic Bilbao claimed a 3-2 comeback win at Atalanta, Juventus beat Benfica 2-0, and Newcastle defeated PSV 3-0.
Bayern only found the breakthrough in the 52nd minute thanks to Kane's header and the England captain doubled their lead from the spot in the 55th.
The Germans secured the win, but had defender Minjae Kim sent off in the 63rd, while Kane missed a penalty in the 81st.
Vasil Kusej stunned Barcelona as he gave Prague the lead in the 10th, but Fermin Lopez scored a brace to turn things around for the Spanish champions.
Robert Lewandowski's own goal put Prague level, but Dani Olmo returned the lead to Barça in the 63rd, before Lewandowski redeemed himself with a goal in the 71st to put the game to bed.
Dominik Szoboszlai's powerful low free-kick broke the deadlock for Liverpool shortly before the break. Geronimo Rulli scored an own goal in the 72nd and Cody Gakpo sealed the win in stoppage time.
