Kevin Gameiro and Antoine Griezmann scored the goals as Atletico locked down top spot in Group D with a 2-0 victory over PSV.

Last season's runners-up made it five wins from five and are now guaranteed to progress as winners before taking on Bayern in the final round of matches, who lost 3-2 to Rostov earlier on Wednesday.

Gameiro broke the deadlock in the 55th minute with a precise low drive and Griezmann netted for the third time in the competition 11 minutes later to seal the points.

Elsewhere, Besiktas produced a stunning comeback to keep their hopes of progressing alive with a 3-3 home draw against Benfica in Group B.

The Portuguese visitors seemed destined to secure a place in the last 16 of the competition when Goncalo Guedes, Nelson Semedo and Ljubomir Fejsa gave them a handsome three-goal lead inside 31 minutes.

But the Turkish champions produced an amazing fightback as Cenk Tosun and Ricardo Quaresma, from the penalty spot, scored before Vincent Aboubakar levelled two minutes from time.
