Manchester United usually qualify for the last 16 of the Champions League

Wednesday proved to be a bad night for Manchester as the two big clubs, City and United, both went out of the Champions League.

United played in Switzerland against Basel, but were beaten 2-1 - a defeat which meant they finished third in Group C. Teams need to finish in the top two to qualify.

City played well to beat German side Bayern Munich 2-0, but despite the win they also ended up third in their group.

All is not lost for the two clubs though - they will now compete in the UEFA Europa League.

Key Points

  • Both Manchester clubs out of Champions League
  • City won, United lost, but both finished third in their group
  • Both clubs now enter the UEFA Europa League
