Listless Roma snuck into the Champions League last 16 after a 0-0 draw against BATE Borisov at the Stadio Olimpico.
Victory on Wednesday would have guaranteed Roma a place in the knockout rounds as Group E runners-up behind Barcelona, but they appeared content to play for a draw, banking on Bayer Leverkusen failing to win against Barca at the BayArena.
Roma were booed off at the final whistle as Rudi Garcia's side got away with their limp performance, while Leverkusen could only manage a 1-1 draw against Barcelona.
Only Miralem Pjanic went close with several efforts in the first half, notably when he forced Syarhey Chernik into a fine save in the 28th minute.
Edin Dzeko spurned Roma's best chance two minutes after half-time when he broke through one on one with Chernik, only to be thwarted by the goalkeeper's outstretched foot.
Wojciech Szczesny was forced into a superb save in the 68th minute when he instinctively blocked from Ihar Stasevich at point-blank range as Roma held on to progress.
Robert Lewandowski notched a quickfire double as Bayern Munich rounded off their Group F fixtures with a 2-0 win at Dinamo Zagreb.
Bayern had far more of the ball and, after the introduction of Thomas Muller at half-time, the visitors' pressure soon told, with the Germany international's delightful ball teeing-up a Lewandowski header in the 61st minute.
Lewandowski - who scored a hat-trick when Bayern won the reverse fixture 5-0 in September - then clipped in three minutes later to take his Champions League tally for the season to seven goals in six games.
Dinamo subsequently hit the crossbar through Josip Pivaric, before Muller blew the chance to extend his team's advantage as he struck an 88th minute penalty against the post.
Overall, it rarely looked like anything other than a Bayern victory would be the outcome in a contest that was a dead rubber, with the away side having already qualified for the last 16 as group winners and the hosts guaranteed to finish fourth.
Denys Garmash scored a fortuitous goal to earn Dynamo Kiev a 1-0 win over Maccabi Tel Aviv on Wednesday and enable the Ukrainian champions to grab a place in the last 16.
Playing in an empty stadium because of a UEFA ban, Dynamo's winner came courtesy of a good deal of fortune when Maccabi striker Tal Ben Haim II deflected a free kick towards his own goal.
Goalkeeper Predrag Rajkovic could only push the ball into the path of Garmash, who accepted the 16th minute gift gratefully.
The goal was enough for Dynamo to leapfrog Porto, who lost 2-0 at Chelsea, and snatch second place in Group G.
Gent beat Group H winners Zenit St Petersburg 2-1 at Ghelamco Arena to give Belgium a first club through to the knockout stages of the Champions League in 15 years.
Goals from Laurent Depoitre and Danijel Milicevic gave Gent a victory they did not ultimately need as Valencia lost at home to Lyon, while Artem Dzjuba scored for Zenit.
The Buffalos, who had lost just one of their past 10 matches in all competitions, knew they only need better Valencia's result to progress as runners-up to the previously undefeated Russians.
