Jude Bellingham and Phil Foden lead the way... but which surprise Man City midfielder and Newcastle star feature in Sofascore's Best Champions League XI of the group stages?

The group stage of the Champions League has been and gone and 16 teams will be in the pot for Monday's draw.

Manchester City remain on track to become the first English to retain the trophy after Nottingham Forest won the European Cup in 1979 and 1980, while Manchester United and Newcastle set an unwanted record as they both crashed out of the Champions League at the group stage.

Erik ten Hag's men finished bottom of Group A with just four points - their lowest ever tally in the competition- while Eddie Howe's team came bottom of Group F with five points in six games.
