    Goalkeeper Anatoliy Trubin: Real Madrid were defeated in Lisbon by Benfica and finished ninth and will have to face a play-off to reach the last 16 of the Champions League against Benfica or Bodo/Glimt.

    Goalkeeper Anatoliy Trubin's sensational 98th-minute header earned Benfica a place in the knockout phase play-offs.

    The Eagles looked set to miss out despite recovering from 1-0 down to open up a 3-1 lead thanks to two goals from Andreas Schjelderup either side of Vangelis Pavlidis' penalty.
