Borussia Mönchengladbach were beaten 2-0 by Real Madrid in their final UEFA Champions League group stage game on Wednesday but joined the Spanish champions in the knockout stages as Group B runners-up thanks to Shakhtar Donetsk's goalless draw at Inter Milan.

Match stats

• This season marks the first time in three attempts Mönchengladbach have reached the competition's knockout stages.
• This was the Foals' first away defeat in eight European away games with their previous loss dating back to a 4-0 loss to Real's Clasico rivals Barcelona in December 2016.
• Gladbach won the UEFA Cup twice in the 1970s and were European Cup runners up. Their all-time balance with Real reads: five games played, three drawn, one won each, with 10 goals scored apiece.
• Thuram's father Lilian and Real coach Zidane were teammates when France won the FIFA World Cup in 1998.
• Real's win meant they avoided dropping into the Europa League for the first time. The record European champions haven't played in the lesser of the two continental competitions since 1994/95, when it was still called the UEFA Cup.
