Graham Potter’s side could face PSG in the last-16 after the French Ligue 1 champions finished runner-up in Group H.

PSG appeared to be on course to finish top of their group, but Benfica’s 6-1 win away to Maccabi Haifa means that Christophe Galtier’s side have been forced to settle for the runners-up spot.
