The 2022/23 Champions League group stage has come to a close and we have the field of teams that have advanced to the Round of 16 in February 2023.

AC Milan were the final team to make it through on the final day with a 4-0 win over RB Salzburg in Group E. They joined Tottenham, RB Leipzig, and Eintracht Frankfurt who also advanced in their respective group finales.

The big surprise of the final day was Benfica overtaking PSG at the top of Group H on the sixth tiebreaker: away goals scored in the group stage. A 6-1 final day victory at Maccabi Haifa did the trick for the Portuguese side.

Chelsea, PSG, Inter Milan, Benfica, Porto, Liverpool, and Borussia Dortmund locked up their spots on Matchday 5. There were five teams that secured their tickets on Matchday 4: Italian league leaders Napoli, surprise Belgian side Club Brugge, and German power Bayern Munich joined defending champions Real Madrid and 2021 finalists Manchester City.

Juventus, Atletico Madrid, and Barcelona were officially eliminated. 

The group standings and results below are updated as of the close of the group stage on Matchday 6.
