Manchester City came back from a goal down at halftime to beat Club Brugge 3-1 and secure their place in the UEFA Champions League playoff round.

Inter Milan, Arsenal and Atletico Madrid sealed top-eight finishes as expected — joining Liverpool and Barcelona advancing directly to the round of 16 – with low-key wins. Inter beat Monaco 3-0, Arsenal won 2-1 at Girona and Atletico won 4-1 at Salzburg, which had a woeful campaign.

Manchester City’s Champions League clash with Club Brugge kicked off on time on Wednesday after a fire outside the Etihad Stadium was quickly extinguished. Hundreds of fans were moved as an area close to the ground’s main reception was evacuated when flames engulfed a merchandise stall around two hours before kick-off.
