Arsenal clinched a place in the second round of the Champions League on Wednesday night with a 2-1 win over Borussia Dortmund, but the Gunners could find themselves the only English club in the knockout stage.

A day after Manchester United and Manchester City both missed the chance to advance, Chelsea conceded a last-minute goal and lost 2-1 at Bayer Leverkusen. The Blues risk of missing out on the last 16 for the first time since the 2002-03 season.

Leverkusen advanced alongside APOEL, which tied 0-0 at Zenit St. Petersburg to become the first ever Cypriot club to make it past the group stage.

AC Milan rallied twice but Xavi Hernandez scored in the 63rd minute to give defending champion Barcelona a 3-2 win and clinch first place in Group H.
